You have 3 parts to your homework due for next Tuesday:
1. Think about your STILL LIFE PAINTING: what you want to portray (remember the intrinsic narrative in each object and what the combination of these different narratives forms). You can start on this as soon as you feel ready. These are DUE 9/25. BRING IN 4 OBJECTS FOR IN CLASS STILL LIVES (1. living/ used to be living 2. textured 3. shiny/ reflective 4. design/ pattern-based)
2. We will be discussing different techniques for ACRYLIC PAINTING, as well as different grounds, supports, and tools for putting paint on a surface. RESEARCH at least 3 painting techniques, 3 supports, 3 grounds, and 3 tools (as well as how to CARE FOR THESE TOOLS) for working with ACRYLIC. POST THIS with brief explanations (descriptions) for each to the blog.
3. BRING SUPPLIES for painting with ACRYLIC.
Read the following sites CAREFULLY, so you will know what you are working with next Tuesday!! This is an adventure for all, so remember everyone starts at the beginning. We will become much more familiar with what paint is and how it works as the semester progresses. Do not be discouraged at the start! As the adage goes: If at first you don't succeed, try try again! :)
