Today's Class- Today the focus was on the concept of negative space- the spaces in a two dimensional artwork that are between and around the positive objects. Also, the research assignment was distributed and students chose their topics for the paper.
How to make this up- The class did two exercises related to the idea of how artists see and make use of negative space. Examples and directions for each can be found here. These are portfolio exercises that must be made up by the end of the semester.
If you did not select a research paper topic in class today, you must either contact me for a list of available topics, or talk to me in class next week.
Homework- A list of 3 artists and an artwork from each for your chosen research topic is due by February 17, 2012, though you can bring it or send it to me sooner, to get faster approval and more time to work on the paper. The completed paper is due at the beginning of class on March 9, 2012.
For next class 2/10/12- We will start our study of value. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, drawing charcoal, and kneaded eraser. Charcoal is very messy, so you are advised not to wear white to class.
