REMINDERS
Color Assignment is due Mon, November 12th.
You will have very little time on Monday after registration, and before the critique to work on it. Factor in that you will most likely have to complete some of it as homework over the weekend.
Registration : Bring your laptops to class on Mon, November 12th and arrive early, as enrollment for most of you begins at 9 am sharp!
FINAL ASSIGNMENT
The final assignment is up above under assignments– the proposal and idea chart are due on 12th. Keep up to date with the Final’s multiple due dates via the assignment sheet’s schedule. Next class, I will talk about this some more, show you some examples of student work, and we will also take a look at the Senior Studios.
Readings
Here are few chapters to read for homework for the Final Assignment to be completed by the 14th
Research
While you research your chosen theme for your art, and look for 2 contemporary artists that really relate to your subject matter and content (a good start might be the links I have on the right of this website), you might also enjoy looking up the Studio Art professor’s art websites:
