Assignment # 6 – Still Life Cropping and Enlarging

This assignment is an exercise in cropping and enlarging, as well as drawing and painting. The objectives are to come up with an interesting and dynamic cropping from the original still life, and to color it in a specific color palette, either warm or cool.

In class, we will set up a still life which you will draw in full detail. once finished, you will use cropping L's to crop and select a section of your drawing to enlarge. You should attempt to find a segment that would look very different than your original drawing.

Enlarge your selection on a new bristol sheet, making sure it is proportionate to your cropping selection, and leaving a 1-inch border. Paint your new composition using a cool or warm palette only. make sure your work is well crafted and presentable.

Good Luck!
