Lupine coastal landscapes, adult art class, 7/8/19

We started with a series of exercises:
Draw clumps of stalks of lupine in a variety of
scribbles or textures. Each clump should be different than the
previous. Fill the sheet.
Rough in two horizontal panes/frames/rectangles on a vertical sheet.
First box create some shapes like areas in a landscape.
Second box make the same but fill it in with the textures practiced earlier, and
any other coloring desired.
Final drawing make up a scene on a full sheet. Use
reference photos if you want.

Penguins and sports figures - adult art class, 1/28/19

We started with black and white abstraction practices. Cut a sheet of paper into quarters. Color one of these quarters black, (crayon). Cut out a variety of teardrop shapes from this black piece. Make an arrangement of the shapes on another piece. Copy that arrangement by coloring into imaginary outlines. Make another arrangement that could be a sports figure pictograph. Copy/draw it just as you did before. Make an arrangement that could be penguins. Draw that too. Final drawings - work on a full sheet and use reference photos of real penguins.
