Chiaroscuro: Line Value

This is my last studio drawing class I have to take for my core classes.  The title of the class is "Chiaroscuro", which apparently is the Italian term for controlling between light and dark in drawing.  I don't think they use it now, but it is a well known term for artists.  This week, however, we just focused on our contour drawings.  I have a set of basic geometric forms that I set up and draw from.  You'll see them used a bit over the next few weeks.
