Advanced Painting: Figurative Work
What have you begun with the figurative work? This is the most challenging genre to work with – the figure. We all have one. We have all drawn / painted one. We know when things look right and we know when things look wrong. Make use of your time… we have about 5 sessions left with one another… make good use of the time.
Do you want something to listen to? This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast deals specifically with an exhibition about the figure and HERE IT IS! Remember that we are listening and seeing artwork that is dealing with contemporary issues and you are in the Advanced levels of making art.
- What are you doing with your figure?
- How has your visit with the Degas and the Van Gogh Scholastic Arts Magazines challenged your thinking on what you can do?
- How will you use DETAILS or GESTURES to construct your composition?
- What are you going to do to FOCUS on MARK MAKING?
How are you thinking about the Figurative imagery that you are going to be placing in the unique shapes?
Here is the ASSIGNMENT: Figurative Art!
