Today's Class- Today we started our study of color, something we will explore for the rest of the semester. I showed slides of art from prehistory to the present, discussing the technology and use of color in each. Then the class did a series of portfolio exercises involving the mixing of color and basic color theory, similar to the above examples.How to make this up- Full details and complex instructions for completing the color wheel, complementary color mixing, and tints and shades exercises can be found here. These are portfolio exercises which must be made up by the end of the semester.
Homework- The completed wood blocks for your book illustration graded project are due at the beginning of class on November 15, 2010.
For next class 11/15/10- Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, all your painting related supplies (acrylics, brushes, palette, palette knife, water container), scissors, and some kind of glue, which will be used in a new graded project. At the same time, the wood blocks will be printed in class.
