1. For review, view Anthony Ryder's block-in demonstration slides.
2. Click here and view Scott Waddell's "the Conceptual Edge" video. Discuss what you find meaningful in the tutorial, and how the tutorial's content may apply to your paper bag drawing.
3. Identify the 2 master copies Mr. Kefor has completed. Find the original images on the web. As evidence, describe the similarities or distinctions in media and color. Take some time to peruse the web for potential master copy images. You may wish to create a folder in which to store them. Post a list of at least 5 potential candidates here (artist and title). Remember- the images should allow you to display a level of visual sophistication appropriate for this course. If you don't know where to start, consider the following artists: Carravagio, Michelangelo, Velasquez.

The tutorials discussion of edging is helpful in defining the difference between “Hard” and “soft” edges. It discusses the elements that create a hard or soft edge, such as translucency or shadow gradation. This can be applies to my bag in the way that many of the edges can be hard or soft. What it has taught me is how to determine which edges are hard, such as sharp folds in the bag or an overlapping cast shadow, or what is soft such as a curved edge or form shadow. This will be useful in emphasizing the realism of the bag’s form.
“Study for the Libyan Sibyl”
The media and shading are very similar with slight variations due to human error. Kefor’s copy lacks the up close sketching around the main image. It was done on a much darker sheet of paper as opposed to Michelangelo’s contemporary materials.
“The Water Seller of Seville” by Diego Velazquez
The original work was done in paints as Opposed to Kefor’s graphite drawing. In Kefor’s work the shadows are much more defined than the subtle ones in the original. The difference in Medium causes a difference in the appearance of different shades and tints in the work. Kefor’s copy also lacks the central figure in between the boy and the older man who is sipping a beverage out of a jar.

Mr. Kefor didn’t draw the extra details in the corners. His also looks darker than the original copy of it. The shadows are not really that dark in Mr. Kefors drawing. (Study for the Libyan Sibyl)
In Mr. Kefors drawing there is no figure in the background. There is also no color in his while the original has color. The shadows of the vases are similar in both drawings. The boys arm looks like it is fading in the original copy but in Mr. Kefors it isn’t. (Velasquez's "The Waterseller of Seville)

In the video, I found it interesting how the shadow and lights values could change so greatly depending on the light source itself. I could use the instructor’s teachings to determine what types of shadows should be in my paper bag drawing and whether there should be hard light transitions or soft transitions. Both pieces of are for The Waterseller of Seville have a strong terminator on the side of theWaterseller’s face. The original image has darker shadows however and the master copy is missing one of the background people. For the Study
In the tutorial about the conceptual edge I found many things meaningful. Scott gives you a better understanding of edging. He not only talks about the different edging concepts but gives you examples. Scott shows you different examples of the soft edge and how it can demonstrate different moods throughout your piece. I can apply this to my bag by creating a softer transition from the dark shadows to the lighter ones.
In Mr. Kefor’s copy of Diego Velazquez “The Waterseller of Seville” you can see many differences between the original and his copy. In the original, the media of choice was oil on canvas, unlike Mr. Kefor’s which was pencil and paper. The original also has more in the actual scene. There is a person in the background that is drinking water, in Mr. Kefor’s copy doesn’t have all of the same details.

The tutorial was good. It showed me that the closeness and the shape of the light affected the way the line looked, whether it was sharp or soft. It shows that maybe if I move the bag away from the window more or closer to it, the terminator could change sharper or softer.
For the Copy of the Study for the Libyan Sybil, the original is much more orange and there’s a lot more on the outside, but besides that they’re really similar.
Again with the Copy of “The Waterseller of Seville,” the only real difference is black and white to the colors in the original.

2. Enlarging a light source increases the gradation, causing a softer edge. Making the light source further away makes a harder edge and compressed gradation. In our paper bag drawing we have to accurately depict the edges and gradations and make sure they appear realistic. Overly hard or soft edges can cause the drawing to look less realistic.
3. Mr. Kefor’s depiction of Michelangelo’s “Study for the Libyan Sibyl” has less contrast and doesn’t have the smaller sketches on the side. They both use the same color paper and pencil for the most part and look very much alike.
His depiction of Diego Velazquez’s “The Waterseller of Seville” is in black and white, rather than the color Velazquez used. Mr. Kefor’s is done with colored pencil, while the actual copy is a painting. There is a figure in the background of the original and not in Mr. Kefor's. His edges are also slightly softer than those used by Velazquez.

2)The tutorial was very interesting. The one thing that caught my eye is the difference in closeness of shading depending on the distance between the light source and the object. The farther away the lightsource, the smaller the distance there is in between the lightest and darkest point and vice versa.I also learned that if the contrast in edging is to soft or hard, the object you are drawing will become less realistic. This helped me realize that some of my edging might be to hard and this is something that I can improve on next class with my paperbag.
3)"Study for the Libyan Sibyl" The two drawings are very similar but there are two differences I see which was that Mr.Kefor's drawing had less contrast and didn't go dark with the sketch.Also in Mr.Kefor's drawing, there isn't all the other smaller drawings shown in Michealangelo's depiction.
"The Waterseller of Seville"
Again the drawings are very similar but the orignal is in color and Mr.kefor's is sketched with a pencil. Also in the original there is a man in the backround which is not displayed in Mr.Kefor's version.
-Michelangelo,David;Michelangelo-The Winged Victory;Houdon,L'ecorche;I couldn't find any others but I wanted to try to draw a spartan warrior or a historical figure such as Ben Franklin or Abe Licoln
Valuable information. Lucky me I found your site by
chance, and I'm stunned why this accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
