Today's Class- Today we began our study of color. We looked at slides from prehistory to comic books, and discussed the evolving technology and uses of color through the history of art. We spent the rest of the day working on three portfolio exercises related to color theory and color mixing.How to make this up- The class did three exercises that all fit on one sheet of paper- a standard color wheel, a complementary color mix, and a series of tints and shades involving one color. Above are some examples from previous semesters. Additional examples and the full instructions can be found here.
These are portfolio exercises that must be made up by the end of the semester in order to receive full credit.
Homework- The completed wood blocks are due at the beginning of class on April 2, 2012. At that time the blocks will be printed.
For next class 4/2/12- We will do some exercises related to text as a visual element, while the woodcut blocks are being printed. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and your various black markers. I'll provide the ink and tools to print your blocks.
