As you work, think about how you will use contrast to make your figure emerge from its setting so that it becomes the focal point. You must also be aware of how the values you use in the foreground and background work to create the illusion of space.
Students will continue to work on their drawings.
Hand out a self-assessment sheet with questions such as:
- Do the objects look three dimensional?
- Is there a feeling of depth and space?
- Does the figure emerges from its setting?
- How would you describe the mood that is created by the use of value?
- What do you like about your work?
- What would you change?
