Week 13: —12/09/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

It's been a pleasure teaching you in this class this term. Many of you have come quite a long way in a short time, so you should be proud of yourselves. Good luck finishing these last drawings, and have a great holiday. I won't be at TCI in the Spring, but I'll be back in the summer term. See you next week,

Hi everybody,

I'm sorry for posting this so late, but don't worry, I will only make one assignment since I haven't given you very much time. Unfortunately, I've been ill again since our class last week and haven't even looked at a computer screen until today. In any case, since you only have one exercise to do this week, how 'bout EVERYBODY get it done??!!?!

Hi everybody,

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving today. It is nice to have a day off in the middle of the week, especially as the semester winds down; however, tomorrow (Friday), we have to get back to work, so make sure you do as much drawing this weekend as possible. As promised, there is a lot of homework for you. Good luck, and I'll see you on Wednesday.

Week 10: —11/18/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

This week in class, we had a bit of a rest from drawing. We did do some drawing, but most of the class was taken up playing around with Photoshop. Photoshop is a tool that I daresay all computer designers and artists use. It is so widespread that even ordinary people (like my parents) use, even though they know little about computers. It is a gigantic program and so it does many, many things. Please try to make a habit of using it. I am no expert at Photoshop, but I also use it regularly in my work.

We will continue using Photoshop next week for homework, so please give yourself time to work with it if you find yourself struggling. Also, regarding the 10 images that you collected this week, please retain those as we will be using ALL of them in subsequent exercises.

This week for homework I am introducing something that is new in a couple of ways. First, I have put a few videos in here, something I've never used before, that you should watch and follow by drawing along. It is new in a second way as well, and that is that it is explaining one method of creating a human head/face in profile. So this series of videos is a way to introduce the topic of the face as an object to draw. There will not only be more videos for you to watch over the next few weeks, but also a whole series of drawings that involve the face. If you follow along in earnest, I believe you'll be happy with the results that you produce by the end of the term.

Week 8: —11/04/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

I had fun introducing Flash to you all this week. If you cannot tell, it really is one of my favorite applications to use, and I hope all of you learn to love it as much as I do. It is a very, very powerful application and can do so many things. Once you get the hang of it, you will be happy that you know how to use it, and it will be easy for you to impress your friends with what you will learn in upcoming classes next term and after. But I'm jumping ahead of things...let's get through this semester first! So work hard and do ALL your homework.

Hi everybody,

Although I'm not yet finished looking at everyone's work, I have seen some wonderful drawings. And, although this blog posting is a bit later than usual, there are only two exercises and both of them can be done in the computer, so they shouldn't take you too long.

Week 6: —10/21/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

There were some exceptional drawings in class this week. Nice work.

Love to see you all keep this progress up. Remember, next week is midterm and so ALL your work is due. You must give me your sketchbooks and you must give me ALL your files for this class. This includes all files you've already given me!!!! I'll repeat: ALL OF THE WORK UP TO NEXT WEEK IS DUE, INCLUDING THE INTRO EXERCISES THAT WE DO AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS EACH WEEK.

I think you all worked hard this week in class and did quite well with your drawing; however, I am concerned at how much work some of you have to do for next week. Below is a list of exactly what you should have for me.

Regarding homework for this week and the MIDTERM:
Please read ALL the instructions as to what to do for next week's class. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.

    This note is to inform you of two things due next week in the beginning of class:

1. You must have your SKETCHBOOKS next week with ALL of the work we have done thus far both in class and for homework. Even if you have missed class, you are still responsible for ALL WORK.
2. You must have your USB DRIVES with all of the COMPUTER DRAWINGS that we have done in class and for homework. This includes ALL of the exercises that you have already given to me at the beginning of each class. You must give me those files AGAIN next week.

Week 5: —10/07/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

I hope you all have had a nice week off from drawing homework, and that your holiday yesterday (Monday) was a nice break.

Now, however, it is time to get back to work and back to drawing a little each day. If you want to save time, please pay attention to how much time I suggest you take on each exercise. Many of you spend quite a bit more than I suggest. Of course, it is up to you how much time you spend on drawing. The more time you spend, the more you will learn and undoubtedly the higher your grade.

If you haven't done so, please bring $4.00 to class next week so that I can distribute the plastic picture planes to those of you who do not have one yet. If you weren't here last week, I'll explain what we will be using them for in class next week.

Week 4: —9/30/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

Please forgive me for not being in class today, but I've been pretty sick this week, and out of TCI since Monday. Nonetheless, the practice must continue.

This week there are no downloads. Instead, please follow the instructions for what you are to draw this week below.

Next week, I will check homework for both week 3 & week 4. Please make sure you have them both for me at the beginning of class.

Please bring $4.00 to class next week so that I can distribute the picture planes. I'll explain what we will be using them for in class next week.

Current:

Week 4:
1. HOMEWORK
• Execise 1:
1. Clear a table surface, preferably a table that you can walk most of the way around;
2. Place a cup on a saucer or plate on the table;
3. Place a lamp nearby shining on the surface of the table with your cup and saucer; a desk lamp is best because it gives good directional light;
4. Sit or stand looking at the cup and sauce. Before you start drawing notice how the light falls on them. Some sides and edges will be brighter than others. Notice the shadows that fall onto the table top and how the shading on the side the cup gradually goes from light to dark. Look for the darkest area and the lightest area. If you squint your eyes you will see these areas with more contrast. Now notice the shape of the cup and saucer. If you gradually move yourself lower or higher, notice how the curves along the top edge of the cup changes: the opening on the top of the cup if you're high up looking down looks like a circle, but if you're lower down, sitting down for example, the opening at the top of the cup appears to be more of an oval. Noticing all of these things is important to drawing. It is the first step to learning how to draw well what you see.
5. Now, take your sketchbook and a 2H pencil and draw a frame similar to size and shape of what we have done in class and for homework.
6. Get a stopwatch or an alarm clock and set it for 5 minutes;
7. Switch to a 2B pencil, and giving yourself only until the alarm goes off, quickly sketch the cup on the saucer. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be perfect. This is only a very quick sketch.
8. When you're done, look at what you've done. If you don't like it, don't worry, most people won't. In the bottom right corner, write the number "1" and then just turn the page. Here, draw another frame like the first one.
9. This time, set the alarm for only 2 minutes.
10. For the next two minutes you are not going to draw anything at all. During this time, you will only stare at your subject, the cup and saucer. Try to notice as many details as you can of the SHAPE. If the cup has a picture on it, pretend like it isn't there. We are only concerned about the shape of the different parts of the cup. Notice also light and dark areas and the shades in between.
11. When the alarm goes off, set it for another 2 minutes. Then, take your paper and pencil, close your eyes, and draw the cup and saucer. Draw quickly, you only have 2 minutes and you don't want to forget or run out of time before you are able to draw everything you can recall!
12. Once again, look at your quick sketch. Compare to the first one. Chances are, it doesn't look much like a cup, but only a bunch of squiggly lines. That's perfectly all right. In fact, that's what we're after. Don't worry about it. Let go and allow it to be what it is, a drawing that you did very quickly with your eyes closed.
13. Now, write a number "2" in the bottom right corner, turn the page, and draw another frame. Repeat this 2 more times on the following 2 pages for a total of 3 pages each with a frame drawn on it.
14. Set your alarm for 30 minutes.
15. In the next 30 minutes, you are going to do three quick sketches, each approximately 10 minutes. After you do the first one, move to a new position to the other side of the cup, or stand or sit down somehow differently from your first position. Change your position again for the third drawing so that you'll be sketching the same cup, but from 3 different points-of-view. Instead of moving yourself, you may also rotate the cup, but for at least one of the sketches, you should move yourself higher or lower in reference to the cup. Number these sketches "3, 4, and 5".
16. For the final (6th) sketch in this exercise, you'll pick a comfortable position and spend 20 minutes drawing the cup. Number this drawing with "6" as the others when you're finished.
17. When you're complete, you will have done six sketches in about an hour. Not Bad!
• Execise 2:
1. Set your alarm for 1 hour.
2. Pick a simple composition of objects, a pitcher and a glass, a bowl with fruit, or some such thing. I mention these objects because their shapes are simple, so if you don't choose these kinds of objects, make certain they have relatively simple shapes. Try to choose things that don't have pictures or text on them as they will distract you from the shapes of the objects.
3. You will spend more time on this drawing, so it should look more finished than the ones from the previous exercise.
• Execise 3:
1. Looking at that last exercise in your sketchbook, draw this in Adobe Illustrator. The idea here is not just to recreate the shape, but to make it as similar to your drawing in your sketchbook as possible. Vary the shade of your strokes and thickness where necessary.

Week 3: —9/23/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody,

Welcome to all of you who were not in class the first two weeks of class.

Please, if you did not do so in class, the first thing I would like you to do is to send me an email (carterdjohnson@aim.com). Please type the following information in the email: your name, your ID#, and then type your class (DMA107), and the section (this is the number that follows DMA107 on your schedule).

Now that that is done, this is the blog for my class, Computer Drawing—DMA107. Here you will find all the handouts for the class, both the classwork and the homework.

If you want to read about what we did in class, why we did it, how we did it, and an explanation of the exercise; or, if you would like to do the exercise again, then click on the link that says classwork to download the instructions. If you were not in class, you should CERTAINLY do this and make sure that you do the exercises in your sketchbook like everyone else. I will take up the sketchbooks at midterm and expect to see all exercises there whether you were in class or not.

Also, below the classwork link you will see several links for homework. Everyone needs to click on these links to download the instructions for the homework each week. Follow them very carefully.

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE HOMEWORK EXERCISE, SO BE SURE TO READ ALL THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. Make certain and do all the homework exercises for week 1 and week 2 this week.

Please bring $4.00 class this week or next week to pay for one last piece of equipment I am having made for everyone. I will give it to you in our week 4 class and we will begin working with it then.

If you have any questions, please send me a message or an email. I am here to help.

Week 1: —9/09/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everyone, Well, this is the blog for the Computer Drawing class. It is a class for learning the basics of how to draw both by hand AND in the computer. Therefore, you will acquire skills with drawing by hand from life with pencils and possibly charcoal on paper and using Adobe Flash and Illustrator in the computer. Here in this blog, I will provide links for the weekly handouts and provide you downloads for the Flash or Illustrator files when necessary. When you download those handouts, you will find a very detailed set of step-by-step instructions on what to do for classwork or homework. You will need these instructions for the homework, but also for the classwork in the case that you miss a class and need to make up the work. On that note, however, keep in mind that I DO NOT TAKE LATE WORK. Down at the bottom of this posting, you will find a place where you can publish comments of your own for everyone to see. Chances are that if you have a question, others in my classes will have the same question. So, please type something there. I will post a response quickly. **NOTE** There are TWO exercises in the homework download below.

Hi everybody, So we have finally come to the end of the term. I know for many of you this was a difficult class, difficult simply finding the time and the desire to sit down and draw a few pictures; but for me it's always a pleasure to see the development of your ability to express yourself with pencil and paper. I hope you all work hard these last few days, I hope you enjoy the remainder of your summer, and I certainly hope to see every one of you again in September. Carter-

HOMEWORK
5		free exercise: READ BELOW HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FOR HOMEWORK THIS WEEK THIS WEEK, what you are to do is draw anything you like. I would concentrate on something simple, like doing a still-life of simple objects on a table. If you are not sure what a still-life is, all it really consists of is a few things that you group on a table to draw. A few pieces of fruit grouped together is a pretty good subject, although for some that may be rather difficult because of all the curves. Many of you could afford to REDO the books drawing and make it nicer. When doing this drawing, concentrate on the shapes and the forms, the angles and the edges and NOT all the details on the cover of the book. Notice the shades and shadows instead. For those of you that need to make up some points that you missed from homework or missing classwork during the first half of the term, this week is for you to try and concentrate on doing some extra credit in addition to what I've assigned above.
