Mini Project 2 Monday Group: Rocks

We continued our studies of rocks following our procedure of analysis in line, tone, colour. There is lots of strong observation in evidence and some very good pictures in their own right. Enjoy:

Mini-Project 2 - Understanding ROCKS Tuesday group

Our Tuesday group also started their second mini-project Understanding ROCKS. Great studies emerging from the group. Nice colour studies also starting to come through. Also shown are some of the first mini-project studies on TREES.

We started on our second mini-project ROCKS. Some very nice studies can be seen below.  Also shown below are some of the first mini-project TREES. Again some excellent work.

Mini Project two: rocks

Our second mini project is about understanding various key aspects of trees. To do this we will follow the same 4-step process we used for mini project one: trees.

Starting with the signature outer contour (shape) we will use line drawing for step 1.

Then we will move on to step 2 using tonal analysis to understand basic form and shape as well as surface texture.

Step 3 will investigate the colours using an abstract grid system to build up a colour swatch version of the rock. This will also allow us to practice mixing colours and how to load and unload a brush.

The final step, 4, will use the three pieces of research to represent the whole rock(s) as presented in a photographic image(s).

Images of rocks are in our resource pages opposite for you to print and use.
