4/14/11 2D Design

Today's Class- Today we looked at the completed season/temperature collages, deciding if the declared seasons matched the colors presented. Then we started a new graded project partly inspired by the Dada art movement of the early 20th century. Students drew random words from bags to form a phrase, and then used that phrase as the subject of mixed media collage. Examples from previous semesters include "City of Zoo" (above) and "Everything Turns to Thinking" (below)

How to make this up- In order to start, you'll need a randomly drawn phrase from the bags. You may either e-mail me and have me draw it for you, or wait until class next week and pick from the bags yourself. For the rest of the details and to see further student examples, click here.

Homework- The limited color palettes project that we started last week is due at the beginning of class next week April 21, 2011.

The Dada inspired collage project is due at the beginning of class on April 28, 2011.

Those who still owe wood blocks and the season/temperature collage should get them in as soon as possible to receive partial credit.

For next class 4/21/11- Bring the completed homework, your 18" x 24" pad, all the painting related materials, pencil and eraser. We will do a portfolio exercise involving still life painting.
