New info

Hello all,
Hope you are enjoying your Spring Break! So here is what's new:
1. Extra credit museum visit. Go to any museum you choose, pick your favorite piece and write a paragraph(about half a page) about what you think about the piece, why you like it, what you think the artists was trying to convey, etc. I'm really just looking for your thoughts on the piece of artwork. This will be due on May 1st.
2. The next project we are starting is a celebrity monochromatic portrait. If you are ready to start a new one when we get back after the break, you will need to bring another canvas board, a printout of the celebrity (these are portraits so only print a picture of their head)and try to print the picture so it is at least 4x6 inches. It has to be printed - no pictures on cell phones to work from. You will also need to get a small bottle of Matte Medium. You can find this at Michaels or any art store. Also, bring a pencil to class and a RULER! Do not forget the ruler.If you are not ready to start this project yet, just bring in the painting we are working on.

Sculpture due date

The sculptures are due tuesday april 17th. You can use the same paint we are using right now to paint your sculpture. You can bring it to class next week and paint it or do it at home and over spring break.

This week's class

Hello everyone!
So this week, Tuesday- the three projects we discussed are due! The animal portrait, the mosaic, and the Arcimboldo portrait. Also, for Thursday, you will need to have:
a set of acrylic paints (any brand, whatever fits your budget. Most sets will have the basic colors-this is all you need as far as paint goes)
a few brushes of various thicknesses. (look at the brushes that are for acrylic painting, not oil painting. These don't need to be expensive brushes, just basic ones.)
a cup or jar to hold water
a rag or paper towels
a 16x20 canvas panel (this is a flat canvas covered board available at any art store. Not the stretched canvas that has thick sides)
A couple of 8x10 canvas panels
I'll bring examples of materials to class on Tuesday in case you are confused about any of these items.
See you Tuesday!

Thursday 3/15

No jury duty! Class will be as usual.
