Your assignment today has 3 parts:
Put in earbuds and Watch this video: Making and Using Viewfinders
2. Make your viewfinder - follow the instructions on your handout :Using the small card
3. Make at least 4 thumbnail sketches.
Use your viewfinder to see a variety of compositions. Arrange the finder so that objects touch 3 edges, and draw the images as you see them in thumbnail boxes on your sketchbook page. You should make at least FOUR boxes that are 4" wide and 3" tall. Start with landscape orientation, but if you find a composition that works better in portrait orientation, feel free to draw it that way changing a box to be 4" tall and 3" wide.
When making your drawing consider the following:
Pay attention to the negative and positive space balance
Seeing the negative space as shapes can help you make the drawing.
You do not have to include every object in the drawing.
Change positions at your table periodically to get a different viewpoint.
Thumbnail sketches are not finished drawings.
You may use the drawing pencils to block in basic values.
