(33) Week of May 7th

There are 4 guaranteed studio days in which to finish your painting - 2 of them this week.
Please have ALL drawing done so that painting can start promptly on Monday/Tuesday.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: 

• Warm-up: 10 minutes
• Class activities:
  • Review project rubric
  • Paint demo.
  • PAINT (studio day 1 of 4, maybe 5?)
    • Start by matching LOCAL colors 
    • THINK ABOUT your ARBITRARY color scheme
    • Keep your Color Wheel close by; use it to help you figure out color mixing options and add to it along the way

WEDNESDAY/ THURSDAY: 

• NO warm-up/just get to work on painting (because there will have only been 2 in-class warm-ups prior to the SB Check on Friday, you may delete 2 warm-up drawings from the list of requirements)
• Class activities:​
  • PAINT (studio day 2 of 4, maybe 5?)
    • Continue painting LOCAL colors but begin with the ARBITRARY colors when it makes sense. REMEMBER:
      • LOCAL colors must match the reference photo - look carefully and use knowledge of hue, value, and saturation to match adjustments
      • ARBITRARY colors will be different from the reference photo but must utilize a formal color scheme AND must match in value (squint and/or use your phone)
      • Keep your Color Wheel close by; use it to help you figure out color mixing options and add to it along the way

FRIDAY: 

• NO warm-up 
• Class activities:​
  • SB check (daily drawings PLUS Artist Spotlight #15)
  • Review AS #15 and intro. to AS #16 

HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, preparation, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow (don't procrastinate!), 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; communicate extension requests at least 3-days before a deadline.​​​​

• You must be ready to paint on MONDAY/TUESDAY!
• FRIDAY = SB Check #2 (includes AS #15)((because there were only 2 in-class warm-ups prior to the SB Check on Friday, you may delete 2 warm-up drawings from the list of requirements)
