Today's Class- Tonight we had our special Thanksgiving week Tuesday meeting. We did a portfolio exercise involving a classic still life painting. Unlike the limited palettes project, the goal tonight was to match the local colors of the objects in the still life set up. The season temperature collages critiqued last week were returned graded.
How to make this up- Set up a still life. Put a small box on a table, drape with a multicolored cloth (I used a plaid tablecloth), and arrange 4 solidly colored objects of different colors on and around the box. You may sketch it first with pencil, or just paint directly with your brush. Try to match the shapes and the colors of the objects and drape as closely as possible. Adding a background color is optional. Above are two student examples from a previous semester.
This is a portfolio exercise, that must be made up by the end of the semester to receive credit.
Homework- The limited color palettes project is due at the beginning of class on December 2, 2010. The random subject mixed media collage project is due at the beginning of class on December 9, 2010.
Students who still owe their wood block and/or the season temperature collage should get those in next week to receive partial credit.
For next class 12/2/10- We will critique the limited color palette graded projects, then start on the Final Project of the semester. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and all your painting supplies. The Final Project will involve options based on historical works of 2D fine art, so also bring a book with images of work from a favorite artist, a favorite art movement or subject, or even a general book about painting or art history.
