(8) Week of October 22nd

PLEASE USE TIME @ LUNCH AS YOU CAN TO MAKE PROGRESS ON YOUR STILL LIFE DRAWINGS: ​FOCUS on FINISHING at least ONE drawing that exhibits your ability to render the objects realistically (mimesis, naturalism, verisimilitude, the illusion of 3D form via value v. outlines) and at least ONE drawing that exhibits your ability to stretch beyond realism to a more abstract/stylistic mode of expression, as inspired by the modernists who broke free of tradition (look carefully @ AS #3, #4, #5). ​
