Today's Class- Tonight we looked at the completed color temperature projects, then began a new graded class project- a still life painting.How to make this up- Set up a still life, like the one seen in the top photo, involving a colored cloth and at least 4 solidly colored objects, all different colors. Use a direct light to create strong light and shadow. The objects should be from among these colors- blue, yellow, red, orange, green. The fabric can be any color. Select a view that fills the page. You may draw it first in pencil before painting. Match color and value as closely as possible. The bottom photo shows a student painting from a previous semester.
Homework- This Still Life painting project is due at the beginning of class next week. The 4 Color Palettes project begun on 4/8/08 is also due at the beginning of class next week.
For next class 4/22/08- Bring the two homework assignments, paper, pencil and eraser, paint materials, and a book containing color images of paintings from a favorite single artists, favorite period/style, or just a general art history book. In addition, you will need a piece of matboard, about 20"x30".
