Major Task 2

Art Major Task 2

Due 29/04/2011

“ […] People imagine a sugar bowl has no face, no soul. But it changes every day. You have to know how to get hold of these fellows… The glasses, these plates, they talk to each other, they’re constantly telling confidences.” – Cezanne

Q. Hand in a collage work A3 sized based on a series of cut outs from A4 sized drawings.

The purpose of this artwork is two-fold: the first is to consider the technical aspects of personification, and the second, is to reflect on the process in relation to what you have learnt about Cezanne.

Procedures

Step 1: Produce a series of drawings of objects. Students are meant to give characteristics to these objects. These drawings will be accompanied with text bubbles much like what you see in comic books. Reflect on the way you have depicted the objects.

Step 2: Think through your thought process and make an entirely new work based on Cezanne’s influence in relation to your own reflections. Cut the objects up and rearrange them in a new composition.

Step 3: Make touch-ups to your final collage/drawing.

Drawing Assignment (21/03/2010).

Due April 4th 2010.

At home, take 3 photos that create depth.

Refer to your notes for these four examples:

1) Overlapping shapes

2) Diminishing sizes

3) Converging Lines

4) Softening edges and contrast

Also, do one “Drawing Through”, based on Diminishing sizes (Sketch background too.)

Pick three objects, big to small and draw one in front of the other. We should be able to see through the drawings. Also, draw them from light to dark or dark to light starting from the back object to the front. You may use pens or pencils.

A good example of ‘Drawing Through’, is the swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti’s drawings. He uses this method to create a sense of depth in his figures and the figures in relation to their environments.
