Today's Class- Today we discussed the artistic concept of value, a term used to describe the relative lightness or darkness of elements in a composition. Value can be used to increase the illusion of space and/or volume in a two dimensional work. We looked at slides of art from antiquity to the present, seeing how value has been used over the years as a formal element. For today's art project, we did a portfolio exercise in charcoal drawing.

Homework- The research assignment is due at the beginning of class on March 3, 2010. Students who haven't yet provided me with a list of artists and artworks that they intend to use for their paper are advised to do so soon, either by e-mail or bringing them to class next week.

For next class 2/24/10- We will do a portfolio exercise in the form of a mosaic collage. Bring your 18"x24" inch pad, pencil and eraser, scissors, and glue. You can bring in old magazines to cut up, or make use of ones I'll provide.
