Week Three In-Class Drawing Exercise

This is the template for this week's in-class drawing exercise. You may want to pull this jpeg off the blog to your desktop and print it out. Note that the measurements given on the template are approximate. There are approximately 1/2" gutters between all of the shapes. You may need to shift and adjust your shapes as you draw them to fit everything in so that it is visually evenly spaced. Even spacing between all the objects is more important than exact ruler measurement accuracy!

As always you are to work freehand - no rulers, no erasers. Draw all the lines and shapes as accurately as you can. Lightly draw as many guidelines as you need to ensure your columns of shapes are lined up side to side and top to bottom.

The drawing above is not complete, but you will continue drawing all the circles and ellipses (ovals) into all the squares and rectangles until every shape is finished. Pay careful attention to drawing circles as round as you possibly can. Go over your lines several times if necessary. watch that your ellipses are smooth and round - not pointy and football shaped! Note that your name should be printed as in the previous exercise.
