The image above is an example of one of Dine's drawings. What I want you to notice about it is that, even though the tool (C-clamp) is rendered accurately from observation, his use of value is not limited to a discriptive role. Meaning the use of value is not only "in" the subject, the tool, but also outside the subject. In this way the use of value in the negative areas "activates" the space and provides visual interest.
Using contour line to render the subject and then incorporating value to, not only describe or define the form, but also to visually stimulate the negative area of the composition is an objective of this assignment. Emphasis should also be placed on accurate rendering of the subject and mark making.
1) the accurate rendering of form in regard to proportion and scale.
2) the ability to handle the media successfully.
3) the accurate rendoring of objects utilizing contour line.
4) the use of value, not only as a means of describing form, but also as a means of creating visual interest.
5) the creation of a visual path for the viewer by means of focal shifting.
