NARRATIVE PAINTING ASSIGNMENT – Grimm’s Fairy Tales – Let’s Use THIS link and you can choose your own Fairy Tale. Think about the imagery that comes to mind and work up a FEW sketches so you are READY TO ROLL with the painting when we come back.
- What are the strengths of the piece?
- Where are you still struggling with your painting?
- What is the FOCAL POINT and how are you using the composition to draw the viewers eyes around the composition.
NEXT TIME… This is important to think about as we begin our last days of working.
- Focal Point – where do your eyes go first?
- Contrast – is there a good sense of light versus dark? Smooth versus textured?
- Are your marks specific and intentional?
- Flip it upside down and step back… what seems wrong? What stands out?
- Finally – look at the edges of the picture plane and make sure that you are dealing with the edge, the corners, the sides?
Intro to Digital Art and Photography: Time to CRITIQUE and then Print. Thank you for all the hard work… NEXT UP… Wait for it… Literature!
LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT – This is where we are headed next. I want you to think about the necessity of LITERATURE in life. You are choosing the work to illustrate and you are going to choose to see how you choose to do that illustration. KNOW that you will have some text worked into the piece BUT… it is not something that has to look like a page from a book… We will talk more about this later. First let’s critique.
WORK OF ART – Judge a Book by its Cover – This is the first 45 minutes of our day two class so bring a snack!

HERE is the LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT – Let’s look it over first so that you can begin thinking about the assignment. Then we critique…
