Today's Class- Tonight we began with a visit to the Tatana Kellner exhibition in the CAS Gallery. After that we looked at examples of how line has been used in art from prehistory and the ancient world, as well as the renaissance through contemporary art. For today's art project, the class did various exercises in contour line involving shoes. For details about how to make this up, click here.
Homework- None
Next class 2/3/09- We will review the upcoming museum and research assignments, and continue our study of line. Bring your 18"x24" pad, pencils, eraser. I'll provide the subject for the drawings.

1/20/09 Intro to Art
Today's Class- Today the syllabus, including the list of materials, was distributed and reviewed. The class also filled out a survey and we went over them in class. Some students purchased the photocopied text for the class.
Homework- None
For next class 1/27/09- The class will likely include a trip to the Tatana Kellner exhibition at the CAS Gallery. We will be starting our study of line. Bring your 18"x24" drawing pad, pencil, eraser. The subject will be shoes. I may not be able to provide them for everybody, so you may want to bring in a spare shoe to draw from, or be prepared to remove one from you foot. Those who didn't purchase the text today should bring $3.00 to pay for a copy.

Welcome to the Spring 2009 Semester
Welcome to the blog that I have set up for my classes at Kean.
To make things easier to follow, posts for my Introduction to Art class (FA 1000 Sec 18, Tues 4:30pm) will be made with red text, while posts for my Two Dimensional Design class (FA 2402 Sec 01 Mon 9:30am) will be made using blue text. Posts that are meant for both classes will use black text.
I will use the blog each week to post information about the classes. I will include a description of the projects done in class, homework assignments, due dates, and will include photos of examples of completed projects if available and applicable. I will also list the art materials needed for the following week's class. The title of each post will include the date and the name of the class. About a months worth of postings will appear on the main page, but earlier postings will be available in the blog archives.
Certainly I expect students to stop by when they've missed a class, so they can catch up on what the class did. The blog is also available to students who want to verify due dates for homework, details about assignments, or materials needed for the next class. These questions are the some of the most common things I used to get asked by students via e-mail, and now you can get the answers 24/7 without having to wait for me to reply. If you still have questions after reading the blog, you may still e-mail me to get answers or further details. Don't bother leaving comments, as I won't be on this blog between class meetings.
