Blog and What to Bring For Wednesday

Read chapter 7
Blog: Take a picture that illustrates a figure ground relationship. – Due Mar 6
v Immediate Response – Uncensored, irrational un-self-conscious impressions of the photo, what you notice first, what stand out and how it affects you.
v Objective Description – Describe what is in front of you. Describe the photo to someone who cannot see it.
Formal Matters – discuss the composition, line quality, color, placement in space
The Story It Tells – Does the photo tell a story? Try naming the photo with a simple noun.
The Work in the World - How does the photo connect to William Kentridge’s drawings? (You may need to look up images of this artist on the Internet to be able to make a thorough comparison.)

On Wednesday, we'll put our texture drawings up in the hall. We will then do what is called a "Blackout" drawing with charcoal, and you will need to bring an old rag for blending purposes. If you've been following the handout for class, ignore the portion regarding going to an antique store. The stores are not generally open during our classtime, so we will do the assignment in the room with a still life.

Also be sure to check out Blackboard for your grade! Remember that blackboard does not take into account your absences. If you've been gone more than three times or tardy multiple times, your grade may be lower than indicated on the computer.

See you Wednesday!
