1/26/12 2D Design

Today's Class- Tonight was the first meeting of the semester. The course syllabus was distributed and reviewed. The students filled out a survey about their artistic backgrounds and interests, which we discussed as a class.

Homework- none

For next class 2/2/12- We will start our study of 2D with the most basic of marks, the point or dot. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and ultra fine point and permanent black markers. A smaller sketchbook may be useful, but is not required. You will need a black and white photograph for one project, a photo of something real and three dimensional (person, still life, landscape, interior), not digital artwork or line art. An image with a wide range of value works best. I will have some material to pick through for those who don't bring anything, but you will save yourself a lot of time if you arrive with something you like.
