This piece, a drawing of a still life of many forms of styrofoam, is the black on white still life drawing. The task was to draw the forms that were projected under a light with the use of different graphite pencils, while making them true to size and position. The key skills and knowledge in this project included realism and shading. One of the most important skills in this piece was to make the drawing look exactly like what we were seeing. The shading is important to this piece as well because it shows where the light source is coming from and how shadows were casted on each object. In my final product, you will notice that I succeeded in using different kinds of pencils to make darker shadows and lighter ones that were closer to the light source. I had challenges with the placement of each object and the scale of the drawing (how zoomed in it was). I cut off the object farthest to the right because I started with the sphere in the middle and made it too big because by the time I made it to last object, there was not enough room to show the whole thing. Because each object is proportional to each other, there was no way to show the entire object. If I shrunk the other objects to make it fit, that would defeat the whole purpose of this assignment in making a realistic drawing of what we were seeing. What I learned while constructing and finishing this project is that in order to make every aspect of a drawing proportional, you must start with one part of the drawing and spend time making sure that the other parts are accurately spaced and sized in relation to the part that you start with. In reflecting on this piece, I am proud of how I was able to make each form proportional and accurately spaced compared to the real life forms. I need to continue working on visualizing the piece as a whole and knowing how big to make the first form so that I can create the whole drawing on the paper without cutting anything off.
