First…

Final 2 teams to test out. Once you have your input AND submitted the form for them, move on to your 20%.

  • Gaudette / Brzoza
  • Tatyana / Lavallee

You can also start reviewing the notes from the MVP testing. Please note who gave good honest feedback with details, and who blew it off. Mr. Bohmann and I did. Select your 1-10 scores and do an average in the sheet so you can see what people thought about:

  • Whether your game was fun
  • Whether your game art was good
  • Whether it was too easy or too hard

The data is public – so see if they thought your game was fun verses your competition.

11:30 Friday Morning Sketching Content: Apple with shading

appleShadingSketch

This morning we are going to pivot to organic objects which often show up in still life scenes. Bowls of fruit is a classic subject, and today we are going to start by creating an apple with some shading demonstrations.

I would like everyone to watch the resource linked below – it will give a great overview on shading, and let you learn some ideas regarding:

  • pencil pressure
  • angle of the pencil
  • value gradations
  • recreating realistic lighting
  • consistent line-work / trying to evolve past very scratchy shading

Once you have watched the recourse I want you to do 3 things on the same piece of paper:

  1. With a single pencil shade from light to dark at the top of your paper (in landscape orientation). I want you practicing building this gradual transition from light to dark. (This is found at 1:00 of this resource)
  2. Under this I want you to draw a rectangle with 5 squares and again draw the transition from light to dark, but this time in 5 specific levels. (This is found at 1:30 of this resource)
  3. Finally I want you to draw an apple (they do this with you in the resource) that will end up looking like the sketch above. You don’t need to include the cast shadow light lines if you don’t want to.

Sign and date and place on back table at lunch. Will be grading Wednesday March 4th at 11AM.
