12/2/09 Intro to Art





Today's Class- Today we started by looking at the comic strip symbolic narrative projects. We also reviewed the Thanksgiving Architecture make up assignment. We viewed slides covering the history of sculpture, from prehistory to the present. Finally we talked about the final 3D project, a Joseph Cornell style box. Previous student examples are shown above.
.
How to make this up- Further student examples (and one from me), along with all the specifications, can be found here.
.
Homework- This 3D Box project is due at the beginning of class on the day of our last meeting, December 16, 2009. Those who have not yet turned in the comic strip, or had their collograph printed, should bring those next week.
.
For next class 12/9/09- Next week will be a general work day, meaning students can work on anything related to the class. Most will work on the box project, but you may bring in materials to work on any back project that doesn't involve any items from me (such as still life objects or music). Below is the list of all the portfolio exercises from this semester and the dates where they can be found on this blog:
.
Contour Line Drawings (shoes) 9/19/09
Negative Space (chair and bottles) 9/23/09
Charcoal Value Drawing (white objects) 9/30/09

Bring whatever materials you will need to work on whatever you plan to do during the class.
