Today's Class- Today we started working on the final project of the semester, using the two dimensional color artwork of an established fine artist to design a board game with a theme based on the artist and/or the work. We also devoted time to looking at the completed limited color palettes projects that were due today.

How to make this up- You will need to select a fine artist, one who works with representational images and is a recognized fine artist- appearing in textbooks, major museums, etc. Images from one or more paintings from the artist will be used to create a new composition, which is built around the concept of a board game of your devising. Examples from previous semesters, with the name of the game and the source artist, can be seen above and below. To see all the requirements for the project, along with another example and all the specifics of how it was created from the original source painting, click here.

Homework- This final project of the semester is due at the beginning of class on December 19, 2011, which is our last class meeting and the last day of the semester. If it's not turned in then, it will not be graded. The museum paper is also due that day, if it hasn't been turned in yet.

Those who still owe one of the back graded projects (seasons, palettes, etc) need to get them done as soon as possible to earn partial credit.

For next class 12/12/11- The class period will be used as a general work day. Most students will use the time to work on the final project, but you may use the time to work on anything related to class, such as back portfolio work, late graded projects, or even the museum assignment. Bring whatever materials you need to work on whatever you plan to work on.
