Project: Working from a Polaroid image (self-portrait), use your knowledge of proportion and value to create a maximum sense of depth in your drawing. Create background imagery that is autobiographical (i.e. if your in to baseball; be inventive with baseball equipment). The background should help create a sense of mood and illusion of deep space.
Specific Grading Criteria:
- Are proportions believable? Is the size of each object related to every other in the composition?
- Is there a sense of good composition and fullness to the drawing?
- Is there a believable sense of volume to each of the forms (i.e. shading).
- Is the light source consistent on all objects in the composition?
- Is there an autobiographical quality to the finished work (background imagery)?
