Hatching drawing
PITCHer AND BASKET
Objective
Students will practice hatching to replicate (to make a copy) an image to its closest likeness
Grading Requirements
· The composition must be complete
· The artwork displays a strong understanding of value changes as displayed by line weight and pressure sensitivity (light hand versus heavy hand)
· The lines are drawn neatly and with precision
· The artwork has a strong likeness to the original
· The artist worked to the best of his/her ability
Vocabulary
· render. A shading technique used create an accurate (correct/exact) reproduction
· value. An element of art that deals with the darkness or lightness of a hue or neutral color (highlights and shadows). A value scale shows the range of values from black to white.
· hatching. A technique of shading using a serious of fine parallel lines.
· highlight. Small white areas in a drawing or painting that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the most light. (The opposite of shadows)
· shadow. Shaded areas in a drawing or painting that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the least light. (The opposite of highlights)
Project Steps
1. Start by lightly sketching the most basic forms that you believe the pitcher and the basket to resemble. Draw these forms as if they are made of glass and you can see the other side, ensuring that these forms are overlapping accordingly
2. Manipulate (change/adapt) your forms to resemble the pitcher and basket more accurately.
* Curve the sides of your cylinder to make is resemble the curves of the pitcher
3. Lightly draw the contour of the pitcher and the basket, erasing the original sketched marks
4. Draw a "map" of the various areas where there is any significant change in line
* This could be the line direction, areas where the line weight changes, areas that need to be reserved for open/empty space, etc.
5. Begin filling this "map" with the appropriate lines
* Pay very close attention to line directions, areas where the line weight changes, areas that need to be left as open space, vertical lines, horizontal lines, curved lines etc.
6. Do not forget the shadow of the pitcher and the basket
