11/4/12 Storm Update Intro to Art

No word as I write this as to whether or not Kean will be open this coming Wednesday, November 7, 2012, which would be our next scheduled class meeting.  If the university is open, I expect to be there to hold the class.  Here's the current plan.

Homework-  The photography assignment will now be due on November 14, 2012.

For next class 11/7/12- We will do the assignment that had been planned for last week, involving the printmaking process collagraph.  I will provide cardboard for the plate base, and bring in a variety of scrap materials with different textures that you can cut up and use to create your design.  Time is required for them to dry before printing, so we will actually print them on a future week.  You are welcome to bring in anything with interesting textures, natural or manufactured, to use in your piece.  (nothing too thick, and no cotton balls- rolling the ink will tear them apart)  Also bring in scissors to cut up the materials, and white or wood glue, along with pencil and eraser.  You do not need your 18" x 24" pad this week.
