Materials and Others

MUST HAVE MATERIALS:
#4B Pencil or just an ordinary number 2 pencil.
An eraser, such a "Pink Pearl" or a white plastic eraser
A pencil sharpener—a small, hand-held sharpener is fine

or

"Faber-Castell" Graphite Sketch Set (dirt cheap, comes with six different pencils and a sharpener)
Some fucking paper (I'm using printer paper. Any paper will do though)
Clipboard (such as from Office Max) or an easel, depending on paper used. (Can be cheap or expensive)

Optional Material to help with the exercises:

	You will need a piece of clear plastic, about 8" x 10" and about
	1/16" thick. A piece of glass is fine, but the edges must be taped.
	Use a permanent marker to draw two crosshairs on the plastic,
	a horizontal line and a vertical line crossing at the center of
	the plane.

	• Also, you will need two "viewfinders," made of black cardboard
	about 8" x 10". From one, cut a rectangular opening of
	4+1/4" x 5+1/4" and from the other, cut out a larger opening of 6" x
	7+5/8". See Figure 2-1(http://i.imgur.com/QEK6W.png)
	• A nonpermanent black felt-tip marker
	• Two clips to fasten your viewfinders to the plastic picture
	plane
	• A "graphite stick," #4B, available at most art supply stores
	• Some masking tape



How to make a viewfinder:
1. Take a sheet of paper or use thin cardboard of the same size as the paper you use for drawing. The viewfinder must be the same format, that is, the same proportional shape, as the paper you are using to draw on.
2. Draw diagonal lines from opposite corners, crossing in the center. In the center of the paper, draw a small rectangle by connecting horizontal and vertical lines at points on the diagonals. The rectangle should be about 1 x 1/4". (See Figure 2-1.(http://i.imgur.com/QEK6W.png)) Constructed this way, the inner rectangle has the same proportion of length to width as the outer edges of the paper.
3. Next, cut the small rectangle out of the center with scissors. Hold the paper up and compare the
shape of the small opening with the shape of the whole format. You can see that the two shapes are the same, and only the size is different. This perceptual aid is called a viewfinder. It will help you to perceive negative spaces by establishing an edge.
