The Expressive Figure Assignment
Concept: Composition of Positive and Negative Space
Figure/Ground Figure and Flux
Materials
- Vine or Willow Jumbo Charcoal ( Generals), Graphite lead and holder, ballpoint pen, Crayon, Acrylic Paint Marker etc
- White or Ivory Pastel pencil or chalk, NuPastel Ivory 279
- 90 lb drawing paper 12" x 19", Canson Mi Tientes toned paper or similar, sketchbook
The exercise focuses on the figure-ground relationship, that which is defined within the parameters of the figure shape and that which is defined by everything that is NOT defined by the figurative shape. This negative shape (as defined by the contour) is the ground or more accurately "the Flux". Placem
