Today's Class- Today was the continuation of some things begun in previous classes. Most students worked on the symbolic/autobiographical comic strip, our first individually graded project of the semester. Those who brought in completed collagraph plates got them printed up. I answered a lot of questions about papers, old and forthcoming, and we looked at a few photo examples from students who had brought them in.
How to make this up- All the information about the comic strip project and some student examples can be found on last week's blog post (April 6, 2018 on this site). Below is a student example print from a previous semester.
Printed with black water soluble relief ink on white paper from the big pads.
Homework- The symbolic autobiographical comic strip project is due at the beginning of class on April 20, 2018. This is an individually graded project, so late arriving projects will be downgraded as usual.
The printed collagraphs are part of the semester portfolio, so must be completed by the last day of class. If you have the tools, materials, and know how to do it on your own, all well and good. If you would prefer me to do it for you, bring in your completed cardboard plate as soon as possible. I'll collect them, bring them to my studio, and print them there. I'm not going to bring in the ink and tools every week to do it there.
The historical research paper is due at the beginning of class on April 27, 2018.
For next class 4/20/18- We will do the last portfolio exercise of the semester, an architectural drawing using two point perspective. Bring your 18"x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, and some kind of straight edge is recommended. I'll have several yardsticks, so if you don't have your own ruler, you'll have to share with everyone else.
