Project #5: Charcoal Planes*** This project is best with charcoal and charcoal pencil ***TipsThis drawing can get a little smudgy if you are not careful, so use a cover sheet to rest your hand on while you are drawing.For a crisp edge around your entire drawing mount the paper to a board with painter’s removable tape.Use the edge of a piece of paper for really sharp edges. Lay the paper down on the drawing where you want the sharp edge. For a darker side smear charcoal up to and over the paper. For a light edge do the same with an eraser.Part a: Maquette or Cardboard ModelDue: Tue. Oct. 13In this part you will construct a simple structure/sculpture using cardboard. The structure should have the following:multiple intersecting planessome cut edgessome torn or ripped edgessome edges and planes that reveal the corrugation when bisectedsome edges and planes that reveal the corrugation when stripped downMaterialscorrugated cardboard, other heavy papershot glue gun, tapemat cutter, scissorsPart b: PhotoDue: Tue. Oct. 13In this part you will need to photograph your structure under dramatic lighting so strong contrasting lights and darks are created. You will need to do the following:place structure on a piece of paper or cardboard to minimize or eliminate background clutteruse a single source directional light take at least 8 photos from different anglesmake sure some of them are cropped-inreview the images on your computer and crop-in on the images until you have 2 images that you find compellingprint out the 2 images in black and whitePart c: Charcoal DrawingDue: Tue. Oct. 20In this part you will make a diptych. A diptych is an artwork with two related panels. Your panels can be arranged side-by-side or top and bottom. Set-up the drawing by doing the following:if you are working on large paper (18” x 24”), you can draw both images on the same piece of paper by dividing the paper in half with blue tape so that the spaces match the dimensions of the 2 images you selected and printedif working on small paper (11” x14”) you will need to use 2 pieces of paperif possible use blue tape to attach your paper to a hard board that covers about a 1 ?” border of the paperuse gesture marks and tones with vine charcoal to block in the basic compositioncontinue to develop the drawing with vine charcoal and add compressed charcoal to deepen tonesuse the charcoal pencil minimally, only to control lines in the details of the corrugationmost of the drawing should be tone against tone with very little line. to enhance the contrast and sharpness of an edge, lay a piece of paper along the edge (class demo)use a newsprint cover sheet to protect your drawing when storedwhen complete this drawing will need to be sprayed with a fixativeMaterials1 piece of 18’ x 24” paper or 2 pieces of 11” x 14”vine charcoalcompressed charcoalcharcoal pencilkneadable and white eraserstump and/or smudge sticksblue tape ................
