1/25/19 Introduction to Art


Today's Class- Today was our first meeting of the semester.  After attendance was taken, the syllabus was distributed and reviewed, the museum assignment was distributed and reviewed, and the students completed a survey regarding their art experience and knowledge.  This information was shared with the class, after which the instructor shared information about his background following the same questions .

How to make this up- Everyone was present today, nothing to make up.

Homework- No homework today, other than the museum assignment being given out, and the first draft of that isn't due until late March.

For next class 2/1/19- We begin some actual art.  We open with art at its most basic- the line.  A quick look at historical use of line in art, then exercises in contour lines, with shoes being our subject.  Bring your 18"x24" pad of drawing paper, pencils, and pencil eraser.  I will have a large bag of shoes that you may work from, or you are welcome to bring in one of your own if you prefer. Any style or material is fine, but closed shoes are best- avoid sandals or flip-flops.  You may take it off your foot or just bring in an extra.
