11/25/08 2D Design


Today's Class- Tonight the project was a still life painting, which was worked on for the entire length of the class. Above are a photo of a similar still life set up and a resulting painting.


How to make this up- Set up a still life of your own. Put a box on a table, drape with a colored cloth, and arrange at least 4 solidly colored objects on and around it. The objects should be all different colors, from among this list: red, yellow, orange, blue, green. The cloth can be any color. Use a full sheet of your 18"x24" paper.

Homework- This still life project is due at the beginning of class on December 9, 2008. The specific color palettes project that we started last week is due next week, December 2, 2008.

For next class December 2, 2008- We will be starting our final project of the semester. Bring your painting materials, 18"x24" pad, pencil, eraser. You will also need a piece of matboard, about 20"x30" (any color) and a book with full color images from a favorite fine art painter, period of painting, or at least a general art history book. You will be basing the final project on a painting from the history of art.
