In this practical session, we had to draw a natural and man made formed objects, positioned on a clothed table. The drawing took 45 minutes using a pencil. This session was closely looking at composition. For instance, spatial organisation demonstrating unity and balance, where objects are near to each other leaving out orphaned objects, overlapping nicely creating a sense of unity. Objects are stationed so closely, it casts lots of shadows in the scene when the light was lit. This enforces to invite lots of shading in the drawing; generating wide range of tonal values of dark and highlights. It is clear where the light originate from in the drawing; lot of highlights on right side of the objects, darker shades on the left and extreme dark tones in the centre, where the objects are clustered together blocking the light(shadow). Implied line is also visible in this drawing, flowing in a circular loop. In addition the image has 3 focal points: The leak and its reflection from the vase beside it, the tall vase at the back and the cauliflower. All three of these objects are placed nicely where the lines of rule of thirds intersects in portrait view.
The drawing was successful in terms of composition for still life drawing: displaying focal points, demonstrating rule of thirds. Illustrating perspective, where all 3D objects are drawn accurately on a 2D plane. Spatial organisation avoiding kissing and orphaned objects, and displaying balance by the way the objects are placed and the way it is shaded.
However, the drawing is not fully complete; there are parts of shading still missing, for example, the pumpkin behind the parsnip.
