LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: Two-Point

Last night the class began work on drawings employing Two-Point Linear Perspective. In two-point, there are no horizontal lines. All vertical lines are parallel to the left and right sides of the paper. All diagonals must recede either to the left vanishing point or the right. Students will have all of Thursday night's class to work on this project.

LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: One-Point

Last Thursday, the class began drawing in One-Point Linear Perspective. The class will continue working on these drawings Tuesday.

TEXTURE: Still Life

Melissa Milks

Last Thursday and Tuesday the class made collage/paintings from a still life. The objective was the create a fragmented and fractured composition inspired by Cubism. Each of the spaces was then filled with collaged elements and various painting techniques.

COLOR: Color schemes

This week and next Tuesday, the class will be working on their color schemes project. Next Tuesday's class will end with a critique of the project.

VALUE: Deep Space

Last Wednesday we critiqued the paintings addressing atmospheric perspective. 
Katelynn has effectively used value to address the atmospheric perspective. In addition, her use of value is very complementary to the subject. The dark values in the ominous, tangled foreground of roots and trees provides the perfect exit into the more inviting space of lighter values spreading throughout the canyon.

After the critique the class began their color wheels and sketches for color schemes.
