Cubism 3/11/10

During the lesson, we started the lesson by drawing a cubist drawing with multiple viewpoints and angles. We then chose our picture of which we were going to draw. This was also the start of our first asignment (objective 3 - to draw an analytical cubist artwork). The first thing we did here was to choose our drawing we were going to use. I chose the following drawing, due to it being very clear and having clear and precise contours.

 In order to copy the picture onto another piece of paper we had to use a method called carbon coppy. This is a method where you fill the backside of the drawing with pencil. You then place the drawing (with carbon on the backside (the pencil drawing was in this case the carbon)) onto another piece of paper. You then re-draw the coutnrours on the original paper creating an accurate copy of the original paper. On the following web-page there is more about carbon coppying and its origins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper. This was all of what I had time to do during these two lessons. I am liking what I am seeing so far, but I hope my drawing will not become to simplistic and drag my grades down.
