FA 101 General Drawing Week 11

Tuesday students attended the Richard Russo lecture and were given the assignment of creating a drawing based on what they heard. The homework demonstration comes from the story of the author running into an old girlfriend and she saying that she had no idea he was so "full of books". Thursday students were asked to practice the subtractive charcoal drawing method, wherein they lay down a ground of charcoal before wiping out the light areas with an eraser. Then using both charcoal and eraser continue to refine the drawing by adding or subtracting value.
