Today's Class- Today we started a new graded project involving color. Meanwhile, all students who had completed their woodblocks had them printed today, as shown above. We held a critique of these at the end of class.
How to make this up- Today's color project was about color temperature, the idea that all colors have a perceived temperature, warm or cool, by themselves or in relation to another color. Students are asked to create two colorful collages that represent two of the seasons, by the overall color temperature. (for example- all warm colors, such as reds, yellows, oranges, would represent summer, a mix of warm and cool colors could represent spring or autumn) Below are two examples from previous semesters.
Homework- This color temperature graded project is due at the beginning of class April 11, 2011.
For next class 4/11/11- We will critique the color temperature projects, then start the next graded project, which will deal with specific color combinations. Bring your 18"x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, paints, palette, brushes, water container, and a black and white photo that will be the basis of the project. If you do not bring a photo, I will have my usual bag of magazines to pick through.
