Today's Class- Today the class started a new graded project working with the idea of color temperature. While that was going on, I helped each student print their woodblocks, all shown above. In addition, the class made a brief visit to the gallery downstairs to see the current faculty exhibition.
How to make this up- The graded project involves creating two collages made of pieces of color. Each collage must represent a particular season based on temperature (all warm colors, such as yellows, reds, oranges is summer, a mix of warm and cool colors is spring or autumn, etc). Below are two student examples from previous semesters.

Homework- The color temperature project is due at the beginning of class on November 22, 2010.
Anyone who did not print their woodblock today should bring it to class as soon as possible.
*******Between our last meeting and today (11/17/10) someone did a thorough cleaning of the classroom and threw away all the plastic containers by the sink. Assume that you will need to bring a water container next week to use with your paints.**********
For next class 11/22/10- We will critique the color temperature collages and then start a new graded project. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil, eraser, all your painting materials, and a black and white photo that will be the basis for the project. It should be something you are comfortable doing a drawing from, and have a full range of values represented (light, medium, and dark tones). I will have my usual pile of magazines for anyone who doesn't bring their own photo.
