When drawing circles in perspective the circles appear as _____.
Objects that are farther away from you in real life will appear _____ on the page in a drawing.
Objects that are farther away from you will appear _______ in size in a drawing.

2. Notes
Sighting: a way to measure the relative size and placement of objects from a distance while drawing by using your pencil as a measuring tool.
Proportion: the relative size of one object in comparison to another object in the same group.
Ellipse: an oval. How circles appear in perspective.

3. Review
Measuring relative placement and proportions of objects in a still life using sighting.
Considering composition.
Introducing lighting. What kinds of shadows are produced and how to place values.

4. To Do Select a still life to draw. Select a position to draw it from.
Create three sketches in your sketchbook of possible compositions for the still life.
Choose the composition that works the best.
With your pencil do a quick value study of the composition.
Tape a 16x20 piece of white paper on a board and section it off into four areas according to the example.
In the top left hand section draw your chosen composition using proper sighting.
Add value using a graphite stick.

9. Cool

10. Warm

11. To Do In your sketchbook, draw a quick version of the still life.
Use sighting to determine the proportions and placement of objects.
Practice using cool and warm colors to render the values on the objects.
Practice seeing the colors that are actually there combined with colors from your imagination.

12. Give examples of two colors that can be used to render the shadows.

When rendering values on a white still life with color the shadows are usually rendered in ____ colors.
Give an example of two colors that can be used to render the highlights.
Give examples of two colors that can be used to render the shadows.

13. To Do
On the right of the first drawing you create with pencil, draw a second still life using sighting to determine proportion and placement.
Render the values using white together with limited color.
Use warm colors for the highlights and cool colors for the shadows.
Apply white first and make sure that the impression created when looking at the objects is that their actual colors is white.
