Today's Class- Tonight we started our study of color, which will be a part of almost everything we do the rest of the semester. We looked at slides and talked about the history of color, materials and use, from cave paintings through comic books. After that we did a few exercises involving the mixing of colors.
How to make this up- You will need your acrylic paints and related materials. You will make a color wheel, mixing everything from the three primary colors. Also a complementary color mix, and an exercise in tints and shades. Above is an example from a previous semester. Additional examples and the detailed instructions can be found here.
This is a portfolio exercise and must be completed by the end of the semester to receive credit.
Spring Break March 12 to March 18, 2012
******No class meeting next week.******
Homework- Nothing new, but the completed woodblocks for the black and white illustration project are due at the beginning of class on March 22, 2012. Blocks should be fully cut in the design you've created.
For next class 3/22/12- We will print the wood blocks while students work on exercises involving text. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and your black markers. I'll provide the ink and tools for the printing.
