Spring break is so great! I have learned so much in my drawing class. Our two-part mid-term consists of 5 small compositional sketches in charcoal and white conte. The professor devised a complicated still life with student focus on composition.
Below is the still life I arranged for sketching.
The above image is my open composition line drawing of that still life.
For the second part of our mid-term we must post to the class discussion board our 5 sketches and label each with 2 of the compositional techniques utilized. The professor and students then vote on their favorite of your 5 and you then reproduce that sketch into a 11" x 17" final sketch.
Quilting update: Don't despair my quilty friends, I am still quilting. I just bought fabric for a fairy quilt to be highlighted on the April "Q" letter day. Mystery quilter had created 6 different fairies on quilt blocks. I just ordered fabric online (now the only option as all fabric stores have gone out of business in my area).
I picked up a couple of books at thrift, the keeper being a 2009 book by Debby Kratovil, Supersize 'Em! 22 quilts from oversized blocks. The quilt showcased on the cover is called "That Spikey Thing." I think it will work well with some Kaffe Fassett fabric I received at Christmas.
Crapht update: I am finishing the last poinsettia flower on the Christmas tree latch hook rug skirt. Shooting for a finish by the end of this month. I leave Christmas decorations out for three months out of the year (November - January). I am going to love this completed craft.
