Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
3:08 AM, Thursday July 27th 2023
I have a few questions about Lesson 2 if you'd be willing to answer them. Please take additional credits if necessary.
-
Are cast shadows always preferable to contour shadows? Or is it merely a method of getting us to think about 3D forms?
-
In the example art for the dissections, the textures seem to be more explicit than the suggested implicit style. Are these older examples, or am I misunderstanding the context?
-
In the text, it says to understand the texture, not copy it. Is this another case of taking artistic license to enhance an object and convey the feel or rhythm of the object rather than it's raw look? Does this look like tossing some texture details while enhancing others?
-
Finally, is there a place where I can see when all the different challenges fall along the official critique path?
Thank you for your time!
