drawing II, surface expression project

The first major drawing project for my Drawing II class was a closely observed study of an object of their choosing. The objective was to create an expressive drawing that was highly descriptive of the object’s surface while addressing (through composition on the page and/or the quality of the mark-making) the object’s function or its importance. Here are a few of the finished drawings (more projects, and detailed shots of these ones, are in the flickr set for the class):
