Today's Class- Tonight we started a new graded project involving a themed mixed media collage. We looked at examples of mixed media collage through the 20th century, as well as examples of this project from previous semesters. Then students were randomly assigned their collage subjects and began work on them. We also looked at the completed color temperature collages to see if we could guess what seasons were represented.
How to make this up- The starting point is a randomly generated phrase, created by picking words out of paper bags (one containing nouns, the other modifying words and phrases). You may either e-mail me and have me pick the words for you, or wait and do it yourself in class next week. The examples on this post include "City of Zoo" above and "Everything Turns to Thinking" below. Full directions and requirements, as well as several additional examples of completed projects, can be found here.
Homework- This mixed media collage graded project is due at the beginning of class on April 26, 2012. The limited palettes graded project started last week is due at the beginning of class on April 19, 2012. Anyone who still hasn't turned in their wood block to be printed or the season collage should do so as soon as possible to receive partial credit.
For next class 4/19/12- We will explore a more traditional function of paint by doing a color still life painting. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, all your paints, brushes, palette, etc, and pencil and eraser. I'll provide the still life subjects.
