Friday is here and the time is right – for not being overwhelmed by all that I still have to do!

“When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.” — Zig Ziglar

Art Foundations: Color Schemes and Enlarging images with a Grid

Picasso was a cheery ol fellow… during his ROSE period. (http://www.dailyartfixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Acr%C3%B3bata-y-joven-arlequ%C3%ADn-Pablo-Picasso-Rose-Period-1905.jpg)

Goals:

  1. 1.4 Define and UNDERSTAND the color schemes and using analysis (what are the colors that we, as painters / drawers use to make all the other colors? How have we broken the colors down into groupings and relationships?)
  2. 1.2 Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to materials and technique (grid / viewfinder / magazine advertisements with photographs – no cartoons or drawings).

What is the difference in dyes and pigments? What color scheme would it be if… COLOR SCHEME GAME SHOW AGAIN! Prizes and the like!

Goals:

With your neighbor and in your journal… what did you feel about the process of Gesture Drawing? How do you think it might help you prepare yourself for the figure? What was FUN? What was challenging?
