Today's Class- Today was our first full on class about color. We did two portfolio exercises related to color, following a look at color in historical art, and we covered the basics of color theory.
How to make this up- As a class, the entire class completed two color exercises- first a 12 step color wheel (primary/secondary/intermediates) and the a mixing of a complementary color set.
A list of all the steps needed to complete these exercises can be found here.
These are portfolio exercises and can be made up any time before the end of the semester for full credit, but since color is something we will use a lot, I advise you not to wait too long to make it up.
Homework- Nothing new, but just a reminder that the first draft of the museum assignment is due at the beginning of class on November 2, 2018, three weeks from today. I will go over the details again in class next week.
Faculty exhibition reception- There is a public reception for the current faculty exhibition at the Howe Gallery on the 1st floor of Vaughn-Eames, on Wednesday, October 17, 2018. Attendance is not required, and I'm not even sure I will attend myself, and I expect that we will visit the show as part of class next week, but if you feel like checking it out, seeing what your teachers do as art, it is expected to be open and refreshments are to be served from 3:30-5:00 pm.
For next class 10/19/18- We will spend part of the class looking at the history of photography, and I will distribute a take home assignment that you will complete on your own. Following slides about photo history, we will take a tour of our building, visiting as many of the studio classroom as we can get into, and then the gallery on the 1st floor to see the current faculty exhibition. Since we will not be making any art in class, you may leave all your supplies at home next week.
