4/27/11 Intro to Art

Today's Class- Today was a work day for students to work on anything related to the class. Most worked on the 3D final project, while others finished their comic strip projects or worked on portfolio exercises from earlier in the semester.

How to make this up- After today everyone has the subject for their 3D projects. Anyone needing a reminder of the details can find them in last week's posting. If anyone has misplaced their words or forgotten what they are, e-mail me and I'll remind you.

Homework- The 3D Final Project is due at the beginning of class on May 4, 2011. Museum papers and extra credit assignments must be turned in by then to receive credit.

Semester Portfolio- I will be grading the final portfolio as part of next week's class. The following items (and the dates they can be found on this blog) are expected to be part of it:

February 9th Contour lines (shoes)
February 16th Negative Space (chair and bottles)
February 23rd Value Drawing (charcoal)
March 2nd Color Wheel and Complement Mix
March 9th Photography
March 23rd Rhythm in Art (music inspired abstraction)
March 30th Collagraph Print

The extra credit assignment can be found on February 16th.

With things like the chair drawing and charcoal value study, whatever you accomplished in class is fine- you can't work any more on it without the set up. If you missed a class completely, you will have to make it up as described in the posting. Postings from earlier in the semester that aren't on this main page can be accessed through the archives at the top of the right hand column.

For next class 5/4/11- Bring all your art projects to class, but specifically the portfolio exercises and the 3D Final project. If you haven't turned in your museum paper yet, bring that as well.

BE ON TIME! The sooner we can start class, the earlier we will finish.
