Intro to Painting: We are working on ACRYLICS

ACRYLICS are upon us and we are going to be exploring the techniques they have to offer. This is AFTER Spring Break AND there is some thinking you are going to have to do while you are away.

We are going to create our own composition and then break it down to these steps. The SPHERES are a GREAT way to learn the PROCESS and TECHNIQUES AND you ALSO need to develop the process and techniques of developing strong compositions. SO…

Landscape
Still Life
Floral

THE ABOVE are your options – AND we are going to walk through this all together DAY 1 with a COLLAGE and SURFACE (GROUND) TREATMENT!

Art Foundations: Welcome back to Space, Form, Value

The STILL LIFE is upon us – almost. We are going to continue to develop the ideas together and WALK through the idea of an OPEN COMPOSITION so that we can also work on TECHNIQUES. Make sure you have YOUR OBJECTS!

Think about the moving posters of today’s digital age… Incredible work. Let’s dig in and see how they have developed and communicated messages that affect us all.
