Today's Class- Today the class continued work on the comic strip autobiographical narrative projects that were begun during our last class meeting. While that was going on, I printed all the collagraph plates that had been made a few weeks ago. Above and below are examples of plates and resulting prints from previous semesters.
How to make this up- If you have a plate and it needs to be printed, bring it to class as soon as possible. I'll collect it, print it at home, and return it the following week. Once printed, it is your option to keep the plate or dispose of it, but the printed image on paper must be kept as part of your semester portfolio. (many students tape it to a blank page in the pad to keep it from getting lost) You also have the option to add color to the dry print, with either your watercolors (as in the above example) or with light pastels, so that the ink and textures show through. It won't affect your grade in any way, but if your subject is not clear from the print, color can help define the shapes and make it a better work of art.
Homework- The comic strip autobiography projects are due at the beginning of class on April 20, 2012. All the details are available on the post for our last class meeting.
Keep in mind that the museum papers are due on the last day of class, four weeks from now, though they can be turned in sooner. If you haven't yet made your museum visit, you should do it soon, before you get hit with all the end of the semester work from your other classes.
For next class 4/20/12- Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and a ruler or at least a straight edge of some kind. We will do a project related to architecture, as well as looking at the comic strips.
