If you wish to complete this today, feel free to do so. However, I will still being presenting to demo it tomorrow in class! I'll not be asking for it tomorrow but over the weekend instead--- After we've done a demo. If you've already attempted it, Ill hope for you to revisit and revise it, or create a new one once I explain the approach I want you to take.
The ideal practice for this assignment is to break down the geometry of the Master Copy you printed - you are to find the shapes that the shadows and the light, starting from the most basic shapes and slowly modifying your marks to include the more nuanced contours.
Here is an example found online that breaks down an image digitally from the most complex to least complex composition of light and darks:
This is a bit rough for our taste - but this is the general idea (We would create this image in reverse order, though). To find the fundamental building blocks of light and dark that exist in your image. You would then trade the image to find those shapes, darken the darks and leave the lights while indicating where they are.
You would then add mid-tones and then a gradual transition into light and dark. Eventually you have constructed a full image of the master copy, with understanding for the placement of light and dark and how those values can be observed and constructed from fundamental shapes and forms.
In any case, we will discuss this tomorrow. Remember to bring supplies mentioned in previous posts!
