Today class, we learn about light and shadow. A SHAPE is a two-dimensional object... something flat. It is usually visible because there is an outline around it or because it is a different color than it's surroundings, A FORM is a three-dimensional object... some with height, width and depth. It exists in the real world. ARTIST spend a lot of time trying to make SHAPES look like FORMS. This is usually done by using SHADING to create the illusion of light and LIGHT and SHADOW. NOTICE: There are two basic kinds of shadows. The first, known as the FORM SHADOW, is the shadow that's on the actual object itself. The dark side of the moon is a FORM shadow. The other kind of shadow is the CAST shadow. It is the shadow that an object "casts" or "throws" on another object. In the photo below, the sphere is casting a shadow on the table (or whatever the sphere is resting on). YOUR JOB IS TO CREATE a drawing of SIX geometric FORMS (3-D) complete with highlights and shadows. Do this by completing the following steps: 1 The line drawing will be created in INKSCAPE. You may draw any shapes but you may only use each shape once. HINT: Import photos of shapes that you find online and trace them with the PENCIL tool. My example drawing below was drawn this way. 2 EXPORT the line drawing as a .PNG file and open it in PIXLR or GIMP. Then use any of the tools to create the highlights and shadows on the shapes that you've drawn.
AT THIS POINT it would be an EXTREMELY good idea to search for images that show the light and shadow on real objects. If one of your shapes is a circle, search something like "Sphere with Shadows" online so you have something to refer to. My example drawing in which I've added highlights and shadows in PIXLR is below. It was done using PIXLR's very SOFT brushes and painted in a lot of layers with the OPACITY turned way down.
