Intro to Painting: Edward Hopper and Loneliness
- Edward Hopper and his works. The loneliness that his works have illustrated and depicted. Sometimes they are people in rooms together but they are generally apart.
- Sketches and IDEAS for the time.
Let’s go over the assignment sheet HERE.
Edward Hopper Resources:
- The Simplicity of Edward Hopper – CBS This Morning
- WORKING Edward Hopper’s Sketchbooks (Tate Gallery – London) – One needs a FLASH PLAYER on their computer.

Advanced Painting: Fauvism or YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!
- Sketches for NEXT painting – FAUVISM Part II – OR – Your own painting based on the style or technique YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
- NOTE – Sometimes it is easier for a young (or old) artist to be successful when they are given a specific direction to travel with their work. If following my instructions helps you succeed – use them. If you choose to follow your own path… Great!
- Please PLAN before you move into the painting. This week’s assignment will be the PLANNING stages – the sketches.
- This doesn’t mean you can’t begin the final painting… it just means that the planning is the assignment to turn in.

Thanks for the following and staying on top of one’s own COVID-19 Quarantine. STAY AT HOME! While the posting seems to have died down QUITE A BIT over the past 3 weeks, know full well that the educating hasn’t. The initial intent of ArtWithKorb.com was to help share out ideas and resources to EVERYONE. It has done that as well as being a launching pad for all of the daily classes in the classroom. Well… we’re not there anymore.
As with EVERYONE we are all teaching out of our own homes and studios right now. I’ve switched all of the digital day to day to Google Classrrom – which stinks for the sharing of ideas. The time it takes to update… in the classroom it is all set, for the home studio, as you may or may not know, it takes a lot longer.
Thank you for following and supporting the ideas.
