3/24/09 Intro to Art

Today's Class- Tonight we looked at slides with the idea of rhythm and movement as elements of art. We also reviewed the research assignments, which were graded and returned. For the art project, we did a class exercise involving listening to different kinds of music and creating abstract paintings that reflect the feeling of the music. At the end of class we looked at one from each student and tried to guess which piece of music inspired it.

How to make this up- Details as to process and kinds of music and other examples of student abstract paintings can be found here. As a portfolio exercise, this should be completed by the end of the semester.

Homework- If you haven't yet finished and turned in your research assignment, you should get it done as soon as possible to get partial credit. The photography assignment is due next week.

Next class 3/31/09- We will start a printmaking project involving collograph. Bring a variety of materials that can be cut up and/or glued down. These things can be natural or artificial, and should be relatively flat. Also bring scissors and glue. In addition, bring your printed photos for the photography assignment.
