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.
