FAS110 Southern New Hampshire University Life Contour Drawing Project

Requirements of Submission: Students will apply their understanding of the topics presented in Modules One and Two in a polished contour drawing (including both primary and secondary contours) that meets the following criteria and is created in graphite:

• The composition must include at least four subjects. They must be arranged together in one composition. • At least one subject must have primarily geometric contours (e.g., fork, can, bowl) included.

• At least one subject must have primarily organic contours (e.g., flower, fruit).  Background elements are not required. However, all four subjects must sit on the same surface in one fluid composition (i.e., this is not an illustration of five different “floating” subjects—this is a still life).

• Renditions should be realistic in appearance, drawn from direct observation and not stylistically rendered. This means literally setting up the composition and viewing it as you draw.

Students will submit their project in Module Two through the use of a digital camera or scan their work either at home or via an outside source (e.g., office supply store).

Along with their project, a self-critique should be submitted explaining the student’s approach and challenges. It should be no less than 250 words.

In addition to submitting their project in the module submission item, students should also post their completed project and self-critique to the Module Three discussion topic.

Written components of project must follow these formatting guidelines when applicable: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, oneinch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations.
