Today's class- Today we spent some time reviewing the research assignment and choosing artistic movements to be studied. Then we did some drawing exercises that made use of negative space. To learn how to make up the drawing assignment, click here.
For the research assignment, each student picked a different particular movement/period from western art from a list provided. The assignment requires that students choose 3 prominent artists from their assigned art period, and one work of art from each. These artists/artworks need to be approved by me by October 7. Details of the assignment will be available on a handout that you can get at the next class.
How to make this up- The following periods in western art are still available-
Spanish Baroque (17th century)
Dutch Baroque (17th century)
Portraiture of the 18th century
Academic art of the 19th century
German Expressionism
Dada
New Objectivity (Germany 20th century)
Conceptual art (20th century to the present)
Students who missed class on 9/23/08 need to choose from this list. Send me an e-mail with your top 3 choices. The first one to contact me will get his or her first choice. The other 2 students will be able to get their highest choice still available in the order that they contact me. Anyone who I haven't heard from by next week can also choose their topic in class.
Homework- The lists of artists and artworks is due on October 7. The paper itself is due at the beginning of class on October 28.
For next class 9/30/08- Bring your 18"x24" pad, drawing charcoal, and kneaded eraser. We will begin our study of value.
