Advanced Painting: Gouache and Theme and POP and DIFFERENCES!
We begin this week all on your own! Remember that DIFFERENCES is the common theme for the semester – how will you look at the idea of that in the realm of POPular Culture?
I think I will leave the rest of this the same as last week as we just are getting started…
Here is a video to take a look at about some POP Artists you might NOT know about.

Pauline Boty and 11 Female artists who left their mark on POP Art!
Progress Photographs as well – HERE is a GREAT video of (Not a pop artist) Matisse and the Pink Nude.
Intro to Painting: Watercolor and Landscapes / Plein Air / Book Binding / Observation
Much like the Advanced Painting – we are just getting started. This is going to be an assignment – an art making experience that is all about OBSERVATION and CREATING based on LOOKING. Collage, Photography, Observation from the real world and then COMPOSITION on YOUR PAPERS! Let us leave the rest of this alone as we will visit it together – we did not last week…
Landscapes are a SOLID part of the artmaking history and we are going to approach it in a number of ways! Collage, Photography, Observation and then… well… that’s it.
Art Foundations: Photography and Photoshop
We begin by talking about the ideas of what the Elements and Principles are and then we go into the larger idea about what makes for a strong photograph. What DOES make a strong photograph? COMPOSITION and CONCEPT – Think about the ENTIRE IMAGE as you are pressing the shutter button. This series of works of art are SO EASY – NO THEY ARE NOT! That is the challenge with photography… it is something that we have access to ALL THE TIME and NOW you are going to be more well versed in it. Ok BIRK – Let’s go make a good series of photographs.
There is a big difference in a snapshot and a photograph. We are going to be looking at MANY approached to PHOTGRPAHS and then we will take it to PHOTOSHOP and work out the ideas of FILTERS.
Photography through the Elements an the Principles… HERE you go!
