SUMMER HOMEWORK

As part as the summer homework, I was also told to do some drawings from reality...and I am working on a portrait in biro pen of my sister, on rough paper... could I also do drawings on the architecture of a building or other interesting scenes, and not just the human figure? And since I am very confused of what to do for the EE as you may have noticed, I was probably thinking that the easiest thing was to compare to paintings or two artistic currents (for example, since I will be going in mid august in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I could as well compare Flemish paintings of the 1600's_for examples Johannes Vermeer_ with Italian paintings of the same period)

    Draw stuff that is challenging and might lead to new studio projects as well as help build a portfolio. Choose unusual viewpoints and perspectives.

    You must choose a narrower theme for the EE. You could compare how Vermeer and Caravaggio used lenses and the camera obscura to help construct their paintings for example.

    I heard about the camera obscura, that it had been used in the painting of the girl with the pearl earring... I think I will use that as an idea for the EE. Are the drawings considered as part of the summer homework because I am not sure if I will manage to finish them by September as I am leaving in a short amount of days.
