Today's Class- Tonight we did one final charcoal drawing, this one as a graded project. Then we looked at slides of printmaking through history and discussed the upcoming woodcut project. To learn how to make up tonight's project, click here.Homework- Students should choose a book that will be the subject of the book illustration woodcut project. The book can be a novel, short story, poem, or other literary work, including nonfiction. (no comics, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, or anything already thoroughly illustrated) You may want to think about what scene(s) you'd like to illustrate.
For next class 10/21/08- We will be starting the woodcut project. Bring your book, paper to draw on (a small sketchbook is fine, but may use your large pad if you prefer), pencil, eraser, markers, and your x-acto knife, which you'll use to cut the block. I'll provide the wood to you in class next week.
