PLEASE USE TIME @ LUNCH AS YOU CAN TO MAKE PROGRESS ON YOUR STILL LIFE DRAWINGS: FOCUS on FINISHING at least ONE drawing that exhibits your ability to render the objects realistically (mimesis, naturalism, verisimilitude, the illusion of 3D form via value v. outlines) and at least ONE drawing that exhibits your ability to stretch beyond realism to a more abstract/stylistic mode of expression, as inspired by the modernists who broke free of tradition (look carefully @ AS #3, #4, #5).
MONDAY: Remember, AS #3, #4, #5 should be complete (as assigned) and will be checked today
WEDNESDAY:
FRIDAY: modified schedule, periods 1/3 only (no class but check in @5th pd. for attendance)
HOMEWORK: Since the next 2 weeks will be spent figure drawing with Tommy Van Auken, you will want to find some time to work on your still life drawings on your own. Come in at lunch if you can. You may take work & materials home but you have to be very careful!!!
