Term 7, Brainstorm School Summer 2022, Week 4

Week of June 6, 2022

For full context, see the description of my Art Home School Curriculum.

Retrospective

This is the last week of the VisCom flash course, and next week I start Perspective Boot Camp (PBC) at Brainstorm school. I spent 26 hours on the FND 1 homework this week and didn’t even finish everything. It might be tough to keep up with 2 classes and a full time job if the homework continues to be that heavy. Another option is to take the number of pages I have to do and divide 20 hours by it and be better about time management.

Drawings and Critiques

The power went out for a while so I drew my plastic model skull for a while.

Brainstorm FND 1 week 4 homework.

Rotating an object is probably the best way to understand itin 3D.

Animal skulls from reference.

My favorites are the raven skulls on the last page.

Animal skeletons from reference.

I tried to draw some of these at a slightly different angle from the reference. That was the advice that the VisCom course instructor gave. I can really feel myself understanding the forms better when I do that. I still have to render these, but we didn’t have class today (the teacher was out of town), so I have another week to work on them.

Brainstorm VisCom Flash week 4 homework.

I spent 6 or 7 hours on the semi carefully measuring everything out in perspective. Then for the old car, I tried to do it quickly without so much measuring. It only took 2.5 hours, but you can tell it’s sloppier.
