Today's Class- Today we started by reviewing the research paper assignment; I showed slides representing the various artistic periods, and students each chose one from the list. Then we did a few drawing exercises involving the concept of negative space.
How to make this up- Information about the two drawing exercises can be found here. These are portfolio exercises that need to be made up by the end of the semester.
Students who missed class today need to choose an artistic period/movement for their paper. The following topics are still available:
Italian Renaissance of the 15th century
Italian Renaissance of the 16th century
Northern Renaissance (15th and 16th century)
Portraiture of the 18th century
Neoclassical Art/Architecture (18th century)
Academic Art of the 19th century
German Expressionism (20th century)
New Objectivity (20th century)
Abstract Expressionism (20th century)
One student allowed per topic, first come, first serve. If you wish to reserve one now, e-mail me with your top three choices in order. If you're in no hurry, you can choose your topic in class next week. I'll give you the handout with all the details of the assignment in class.
Homework- Your list of chosen artists for the paper, and at least one book that you will use, is due in class on October 6, 2010. The finished paper itself is due at the beginning of class on October 20, 2010.
For next class 9/29/10- Bring your 18"x 24" pad, charcoal, and kneaded eraser. We will work with the concept of value (light and dark). Charcoal can be messy, so I suggest not wearing white clothes that day.
