Today's Class- Today we considered the role that text can play in visual arts, seeing examples from art history of words and letters in two dimensional art. We also looked at examples of advertising through the 20th century, discussing the associations with different styles of text and symbolism in the images. Following the slides, students did two exercises involving text and logos. While that was going on, I helped the students print their completed woodcuts.
How to make this up- The full directions and some student examples can be found here. These are portfolio exercises that must be made up by the end of the semester to receive credit.
Homework- nothing new, but those who did not print their wood blocks tonight should bring them to class as soon as possible.
For next class 3/31/11- We will start a new graded project involving color. Bring you 18"x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, paints, brushes, palette, palette knife, water container, as well as scissors and glue.
