Second Sunday, Shadows and Sally






Today's emphasis was on shadows. Our homework for the week is to observe shadows, everywhere. We talked about 2 kinds of shadows. First, the Cast Shadow, with crisp edges, typically found under the nose. And second, Form Shadow a soft edge shadow that turns away from the light, a typical place to find a form shadow would be on a cheek. We also talked about how light hits a sphere, noticing, light areas, dark areas, and within the shadow, 2 kinds of values: dark core shadows and reflected light, still dark, but not as dark as core shadows. With this in mind, we had a wonderful model today, Sally, and here are our drawings. New to the class is a 10 year old artist, Sophie, I will post her impressive drawing first.
