Black is the new black
Sketchbook Assignment:
Draw three interiors (room, inside area, etc...) or three landscapes (from sight and not from a photo or magazine, etc...) While drawing, I want you to think about depth. How to make the far away things look far away and the close-up things look close-up.
Value Painting:
On monday we will critique our value paintings. These paintings need to have strong value. Lots of the lightest lights and the darkest darks.
There will be open studio hours on Sunday from noon-3pm for those who want or need.
Also, be ready to start a longer project after the critique. Have a surface ready to paint on because we will be working on our Depth paintings for 3 class periods.
Here are some slides from the value lecture:

Bonjour, Nerds!
Let's try a blog this time. Hopefully it will help everyone stay in tune with what is happening in class.
Here is the current syllabus:

ART282
Beginning Painting II
Winter 2011
Time: MW 12:30-3:20
Course Description: a class that uses painting to explore color, application, space and mark-making. We will be studying the elements and principles of design and how they help make a successful painting. The majority of your work will be completed in class. Your out of work assignments will be looking at art, sketchbook assignments and sketches that prepare you for your painting in class.
Supplies List:
Sketchbook (pencil, pen, eraser, sharpie, tape, gluestick, etc….)
Rags and old clothes to wear if you suspect you will be a messy painter
Butcher tray or plate from thrift store for palatte and wax paper
Painting surfaces: paper, wood, canvas panel or canvases
Brushes: some big, some small.
Paints: yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, burnt umber, ultramarine blue and a BIG tube of white.
Course Policies:

Attendance: Since most of your work be done during in-class studio time and feedback from me and your classmates is critical to your artistic growth, your class time presence is essential to your doing well in this course. If you must miss class due to extreme illness or a family emergency you must email beforehand. Ambulatory illnesses, vacation, or other things that are a part of daily life will not be excused. More than three unexcused absences will result in a drop of one full grade. Persistently arriving late and leaving early will add up to an absence. If you do miss a class, be sure to have the phone number or email of a classmate so that you can find out what you missed and talk to me about when an open studio time is that you may make it up.
2. Participation: You must be ready to paint at the start of each class. That means either bringing a surface with you or preparing one at the end of class the time before. During class, you must paint and do so with courage. Experimentation and rigorous engagement with new ideas and techniques are expected.
3. Grading: Your grade is based on attendance, participation and completion of assignments. Any project may be resubmitted. You may meet privately with me at anytime to discuss your progress in class.
