Hello, students! Our first assignment of 2017 will be a painting of a machine part or a part of a mechanical device. These paintings must have a visual sense of depth. That means you will be creating shadows/shading with your paints. We will be using 12 x 18-inch sheets of tagboard for this artwork. Here is the timeline for this assignment:
Tuesday, 1-3-17: Scouting subjects outside. Feel free to take pictures with your cell phones. Begin your sketch back in the classroom.
Wednesday, 1-4-17: Finalize preliminary sketch and show it to teacher (50 pts.); transfer sketch to final paper.
Thursday, 1-5-17: Begin painting. Remember to work large to small and back to front.
Friday, 1-6-17: In progress (formative) critique. Explain your artwork, and say where you're headed. Classmates may offer suggestions (50 pts.).
