Field Trip Monies are DUE TODAY – FOR SURE! Thanks.
Vicente at Taliesin in 2016. Plein Air field trip!
G: Develop Craft: Learning to use tools, materials, artistic conventions; and learning to care for tools, materials, and space.
What do you see in the two paintings you created yesterday that can be / should be / will be worked up today and resolved? This is a good time to see HOW the process of making art takes time and requires more work than one day / work session might allow.
Nothing new today. Continue working the images from yesterday. Plan on the field trip for tomorrow or Thursday. That’s it.
How did you resolve the ideas and the images from the past two days (6 hours) of work. Did you get to make another painting in the process? A third painting?
#28: An idea is only as good as its execution. It is important that you master your medium. Poorly made work will either ruin a good idea or make the lamentable execution itself the subject. Overly finessed technique can mask a lack of content or can smother an image. At the same time, roughness and imprecision has its place in rendering. One can only gauge the need to throw technique away if one has first achieved the mastery of it. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School
