Today's Class- Today we printed the completed woodcut blocks, all of which are shown above. While that was going on, everyone started a new graded project relating to color temperature.
How to make this up- This graded project requires you to use your acrylic paints to mix up to 200 different colors. The colors should be painted as 1" squares, which will be cut out and arranged in grids of 10 squares by 10 squares. You will create two such large squares, each representing one of the seasons as determined by temperature- the perception that any given color feels warm or cool. For example, a large square made up of all warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) would signify summer. A large square with a mix of warm and cool colors could represent either spring or autumn. Below are two examples from a previous semester. Additional examples and the full directions can be found here.
Homework- This color temperature graded project is due at the beginning of class on November 21, 2011. Those who did not bring in their block today should complete it as soon as possible and bring it to class.
For next class 11/21/11- We will critique the color temperature projects as a group and then start a new graded project involving specific color combinations. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, acrylic paints, brushes, palette, etc. You will also need a black and white photo to base the project on, so either bring one of your own or I'll have the pile of magazines to pick through again.
