Eggs in graphite and/or colored pencil
A fun way to learn and practice to interpret the pattern of light and shadow to see forms.
When aiming to create a realistic work on paper we must show height, depth, and width. Moving from point to line, into volume, a drawing acquires substance, mass, and the illusion of three-dimensionality. When rendering form, it is helpful to learn to recognize the framework of how light hits an object and creates shadows.
With eggs as the subject we will practice mapping out values to render their form on paper, using a single light source. Students can use either graphite or colored pencil.
**Please bring an egg (brown, white, a pastel colored heirloom egg, or quail egg) or egg shells to class.
