I've been working on these; it's not as simple as it seems! I'll keep on working on this excercise but here is my submission.

I came across this Picasso today, simplification by one of the masters. One may think that simplification is easy, but to really be able to simplify you must first be fluent in complexity...

I'll keep on working with this, I'm starting to see terminators and cast shadows everywhere! Sorry for the so-so drawings, I'll post better ones once I learn how to draw! :*)

Nice eggsercise!

Here goes! I'm doing a circle daily, without rotating the paper, it's been my warmup.

This is an interesting exercise, its forcing me to look out for these techniques and its changing the way I see the paintings, very cool. Here is my analysis of my images: Image 1 (The Last Supper) - D=3; C=5; F=1; O=4; A=4 Image 2 (Da Vinci Drawing) - D=3; C=5; F=??; O=3; A=?? Image 3 (The School of Athens) - D=5; C=5; F=4; O=4; A=4. RAPHAEL USES A LOT OF ALL OF THEM! Image 4 (Praying Hands) - D=1; C=4; F=4; O=4; A=?? Image 5 (Rabbit) - D=1; C=4; F=3; O=2; A=?? Image 6 (Escher 1) - D=2; C=5; F=4; O=4; A=1 Image 7 (Escher 2) - D=5; C=2; F=3; O=4; A=3 Image 8 (Friedeberg) - D=5; C=5; F=3; O=2; A=0 - I'm a big fan of Pedro Friedeberg and I'm lucky to be able to own a few original pieces, he is a master of convergence. Image 9 (Remedios Varo) - D=1; C=4; F=1; O=3; A=0 - I absolutely LOVE Remedios Vario! Surrealism at its best. Image 10 (Vermeer 1) - D=5; C=5; F=0; O=4; A=4 Image 11 (Vermeer 2) - D=3; C=3; F=3; O=4; A=3 Image 12 (Kim Jung Gi) - D=4; C=4; F=5; O=5; A=4 Image 13 (Franklin Booth) - D=4; C=3; F=1; O=3; A=5 Image 14 (Gustav Dore 1) - D=5; C=5; F=0; O=4; A=5 Image 15 (Gustav Dore 2) - D=2; C=3; F=4; O=3; A=5 I'm not entirely sure if I did this right... foreshortening is a little difficult to grasp. Thanks Marshall.
