Drawing: Formal Writing Assignment

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do have to write a paper for Drawing class- but don't fret, it will be short (only 1-3 pages), it won't require a bunch of research or a lot of sources (it's going to be mostly your own opinions), and I'm providing you with a pre-formated template- complete with questions to guide you through.

First, select a draftsman (that's the technical term for someone who draws) from the list of Important and Influential Draftsmen found at http://drawing-and-seeing.wikispaces.com/Influential+Draftsmen.  On the top of the page, there's a link that lets you download the template, open it and save it in your school folder (or click here http://drawing-and-seeing.wikispaces.com/file/view/DrawingFormalWritingAssignment.doc) 

Then, select one example of the artist’s work, which you will analyze. Search for images with the artist’s name, please insert the image which you use below the title of your paper.

Use the questions for each paragraph to help you along. Answer as many of them as you can. If there are any which you can’t answer, skip them- but be sure to write at least 3-5 sentences for each paragraph. It will probably be easier for you to work with or without the questions because you're already familiar with the 4 steps in Art Criticism.

I will give you class time next week (Mar 18-21) to work on it. The papers aren't due until Friday, April 1.
