Shape presentation from today
Here are some more examples:
Read this ‘Shape’ chapter from one of my fave textbooks, read it over Fall Break for homework.
For 10 points- in your sketchbook answer the 1st and 3rd KEY Qs on page 22 (relate the answers to your upcoming Self Portrait Assignment) Also, for an additional 10 points- in your sketchbook, test out a possible shape pattern, that would work well for your self portrait background. Think how you can represent your personality with this pattern. Due Oct 22nd along with HW4
Take a look at these examples:
This is an oil painting, but some of the same considerations of color and detail exist- plus wow it is amazing!
This one on watercolor has a few good tips too.
Pages 13 + 14 = Alfond Inn Art Tour
This prompt is about our Alfond Inn tour which takes place during class on Wed Oct 10th over in the Alfond Inn.
Read about the Visual Journal Homework here.
This tour is in preparation for your Library Assignment. It might be a good idea to make the two pages about the artist you choose to write the paper on.
A few reminders
- Hand in Visual Journal next class for grading of pages 7-12 (hand in even if you did so last week)
- Next week we are not in classroom: Monday we are taking the Jump bus to Mead Garden, for a hike and for watercolor painting. Bring your hat, drinking water watercolor set and pencil, the brush filled with water. Wear appropriate clothing and bug stuff.
- I can not take you on the Jump Bus unless you have signed the trip waiver I sent you. See previous email.
- You have new homework to be completed by 8th ( but not handed in until we are back in the classroom)
- One week on Wednesday ( Oct 10th) we meet at the Alfond Inn for a tour. Meet me in the Inn’s main concierge 9am- I will ask the PMs can organize to walk you over there.
We are starting Assignment 3 next class with a watercolor workshop, check out the assignment sheet here. Here is an additional very helpful guide to techniques.
And, here is the presentation atmospheric landscape that we will run through Wed.
Due Oct 24th (this date is so late because of Fall break and our Library visit on 17th. This will give you plenty of time to practice, make mistakes, and keep trying until you can hand in something you are proud of- watercolors do take practice!)
Read this short reading about Atmospheric Perspective. In your sketchbook take notes of the main points, then complete 2 charcoal or charcoal pencil sketches outside, using the methods suggested. Examples seen below. Complete by Oct 8th (but don’t hand in yet- as we will be off to Mead Gardens that day- just keep it until next homework and I will grade 2 at once)
