WHAT IS THE DVD ABOUT?
The “A Shiny Red Apple” video DVD is a visual step by step tutorial in real time by Jeffrey Robert demonstrating his fine art crayon techniques. Separated by chapters, this DVD is designed to work with the pause and play feature of your video component. You are able to stop the video, begin your application, monitor your progress and adjust and compare your drawing with that of “The Crayon Artist”.
HOW DO I KNOW I CAN DO THIS?
This formula of visual learning has been successfully taught in high schools, junior highs, art clubs and teacher education programs through workshops and lectures by Jeffrey Robert while promoting the art of creating with crayons. “A Shiny Red Apple” has been used as an in service program for teachers and educators. His crayon art techniques have also been used as a learning tool for motor-skill development for autistic and impaired children.
WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THIS VIDEO?
By observation you will be able to determine the actual amount of time it takes Jeffrey Robert to perform each stage and each segment. You will be able to view close-up, his intricate hand movements and precise application as the secrets of his skills unfold.
By application you will learn:
1. How to apply 7 different layers of color
2. A precise application of gradients
3. Make transitions from one color to another
4. How to blend all colors together
5. Burnishing and embellishing
TIPS:
1. Tape your drawing paper to a slightly cushioned drawing surface (foam board, etc.)
2. When drawing the outline of the apple, use a pencil with light pressure (enough to erase if needed)
3. Relax and take your time at each step of the process
4. Think fun, do not worry about mistakes
5. Plan on re-creating an apple drawing multiple times until you perfect the image
6. Watch the video carefully paying close attention to the hand movements and hand pressure applications
Please note: To optimize your performance with the “A SHINY RED APPLE” DVD, I strongly recommend that you become familiar with the hand movement exercises found in my “Jeffrey Robert Crayon Art Techniques” DVD. It contains the basic and fundamental knowledge of how to use ordinary crayons as the medium to create fine art. Practicing these techniques will improve the fine motor skills and advance hand eye coordination. It will promote the visualization process and will even help children to become better readers and writers.
