Snow Update

As of the scheduled start of tonight's class the snow was still falling in my area.  No problem because the college was wise enough to cancel the whole day of classes more than 24 hours ago.  The simple solution is we're just going to push everything back one week.  Thanks to the spring break the week after next, some things go back even further.  So here's the new plan:

Homework- The completed carved wood blocks for the black and white composition book illustration project are now due at the beginning of class on March 26, 2015.  Next week I'll have wood for those who did not get it last time and you'll still have two weeks to work on it.  Take advantage of the extra time.  On that day I will help everyone individually print their blocks while the class works on a new assignment.

For next class 3/12/15- We will move onto the use of color, which will be part of just about everything we do the rest of the way.  We'll be doing a portfolio exercise in basic color theory and color mixing.  Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, acrylic paints (red, blue, yellow, black, white), paint brushes, palette, palette knife, and water container.
