8/8/2019 The Observed Figure http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-observed-figure 1/1 The Observed FIGURE Problem: Have a friend or family member POSE for you, (i nformal - sitting, lying down, relaxing on the couch, reading the paper, playing video games, sitting at a desk) for an extended amount of time. Draw or paint them, full- figure, and everything around it. This drawing will be a more finished, refined version of the gestures/20 min poses we do on Figure Fridays. You should spend at least 3 hours on this piece. You can break this up in increments – if you can only secure a model for an hour, work on the model and then work on the surrounding space without the model in it. It’s tempting to take a photograph and work from that - PLEASE DON’T! CRITERIA – Must be 18x24 Color OR B/W – up to you Media up to you Dynamic composition that has visual movement Focal point The illusion of 3-dimensional FORM Understanding of proportion CRAFTSMAN SHIP. DUE THURSDAY, OCT. 14 th Given Sept 13th
