Art 3 Projects

CLASS projects will cover a variety of media skills and content and are designed to challenge your current skills and knowledge, preparing you for independent study next year and beyond. HOME projects will complement the work done in class while helping to develop your artistic vision/voice. It is your responsibility to create sketchbook PLANNING pages for each project presented below. This practice will allow you the time and space to learn, explore, prepare, be curious, and to generate ideas.

CLASS: Indirect Oil Painting/Still Life

5/6/2019

 
Oil painting, while new for most of you, is a culmination of the lessons you have been learning along the way, from Art 1 until now. This project will offer you the opportunity  to further refine your knowledge of:
  • OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING
  • COMPOSITION
  • STILL LIFE
  • SYMBOLISM/CONENT (if you choose your still life objects specifically)
  • VALUE - to create FORM through highlight, mid-tone, shadow, cast shadow, etc.
  • COLOR THEORY (HUE, VALUE, SATURATION, COLOR HARMONY, etc.)
  • MIMESIS - what does it take to draw/paint with a high level of realism?
  • DIRECT (alla prima) v. INDIRECT painting (using underpainting and glazes)

Use the following resources to brush-up on what you already know AND/OR to investigate topics that are new to you. Come back often throughout the project as you have questions or need further review.
  • What is UNDERPAINTING?
    • How are GRISAILLE and ​BRUNAILLE used as part of the underpainting process?
    • HOW TO DO IT! (one way, at least)
    • Watch a copy of Jan Vermeer's "Girl With a Pearl Earring." step by step
  • ​Duane Keiser videos are really fun to watch (direct painting)
  • THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OIL AND ACRYLIC PAINTS
THESE TUTORIAL VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL. Notice that artists use MANY different techniques and many versions/combinations of these techniques. After lots of experience, YOU will be able to make the best choices for your own work.
