Art With Korb

Advanced Painting: Do you have your unique shapes drawn for your canvases?

FINAL 2 DAYS TO PAINT on your Narrative Painting Assignment with Mark Tansey as an impetus – look at the REALISM! We are going to work in OILS when we get back.

Set your paintings up in the front of the classroom on the 6 easels and let’s take 5 minutes to look at them from afar. What stands out as needing work. What stands out as being successful. Stick notes in hand – write out a SOLID POSITIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENT for each work.

From here we will be painting. How about the unique canvas shapes you have drawn? We are going to be MEASURING and SCALING THINGS UP as well as reading angles so… be prepared to do some geometry and algebra!

And this is where we are headed… Figurative Art! Be ready to PLAN and PAINT. BE PREPARED TO WORK! PLAN PLAN PLAN!

• 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?

Thank you to everyone for giving me the confidence that the week will go by swimmingly. I have faith that the efforts in EVERYONE’S hands will be to create and work to the best of one’s ability and to be FOCUSED 98% of the time… (c’mon – I am not inflexible).

I had a GREAT time at ExpoChicago on Saturday and made a few videos to help you see how what WE do in the studio is based a lot on what is being done in art history (yes) but also in the world of CONTEMPORARY ART. (1,000,000 KORB Points for the first one to comment on what CONTEMPORARY means).

Below I have the videos and images for the ENTIRE WEEK so… if you want to see my inspiring words all at once – go ahead and binge the videos for your entire week… otherwise check them out as they drop in Google Classroom. (If you are NOT in my Google Classrooms and are a dedicated follower – BINGE AWAY.)
