Today's Class- Today we began a new graded project that explored the idea of limited color palettes, or specific combinations of color. Sometimes artists will choose colors to exactly match the thing(s) they are painting, sometimes they use random colors, and sometimes they choose specific combinations because of the resulting relationships. We looked at a few slides of fine art using some specific color strategies, then began the project. We also devoted some time at the end of class to looking at the completed color temperature season collages due today.
How to make this up- To complete this assignment you will need a sheet of your 18" x 24" paper, all your painting related materials, and a black and white photograph of a person, scene, object, etc. After using pencil to copy the basic composition of the photo 4 times, use your acrylic paints to reproduce the image using the same value relationships and some different color strategies. The resulting piece will look like the examples above and below. For the specific directions and types of color combinations, and further student examples, click here.
Homework- This specific color palettes graded project is due at the beginning of class on April 25, 2011. Those who still owe me such back projects as the wood block or the season/temperature collage should get those in as soon as possible to receive partial credit.
For next class 4/18/11- We will complete a portfolio exercise involving a color still life painting. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, paints, palette, brushes, palette knife, water container, pencil and eraser. Those who owe back projects should bring them in completed.
