Details: For this assignment we filled in the highlights and “gray tones” with charcoal vines and white conte crayon. The idea was to let the black of the paper come through to form the shadows and dark regions.

Details: For this assignment we covered an entire sheet of paper with charcoal. Then we had to erase the charcoal in places to reveal the appropriate amount of gray or white in order for the still life to take shape.

Details: I started taking art classes in the fall of 1998 because I was having a hard time with the idea of keeping my accounting degree. The professor of this particular course had us use a slightly different technique for this assignment which involved us covering an entire sheet of paper with charcoal. Then we had to erase the charcoal in places to reveal the appropriate amount of gray or white in order for the still life to take shape. We were only to use the charcoal pieces again if we were adding depth to specific areas (i.e. in the folds).
