We continued our
creation of a magazine cover for the Saturday Evening Post. Last week we began
by making 3 rough drafts and then during the week, they were supposed to make
some drawings from real life. We did the final drafts for The "Saturday
Evening Post" magazine covers, using colored pencils and crayons. They
also experimented with a drawing exercise that required them to draw a person
from life using contour lines and not looking at their paper. This exercise helps
us to study the subject and concentrate on telling our hand what to draw. It is
great for training the brain and hand to work together to draw better.
