Week 2: Still life - Form and shape

This week's theory consisted in understanding shape and form, the latter being portrayed in our session's drawings. This first 3 minute contour sketch done in pencil is a simple still life arrangement, the objects seem to be connected -even the tall vase- through the lines of the drapery, the main focal point falls on the smaller objects and the eye follows up all the areas of interest on the implied line until the top of the vase.

The second contour drawing, done in 3 minutes in pencil shows the rule of thirds in action and the composition seems to be helped by the lines of the drapery since the objects have some near touching lines in the center. The eye is focused on the frontal objects then captures each object in sight in a half curved implied line. 

The third 3 minute drawing, done using charcoal is a negative space example of the last still life arrangement.
