Hi all you advanced art students, I know I haven't blogged to you for awhile, forgive me. Since you have a nice long break next week it could be a good time to really get your portfolio in order. This will be your final exam with a little assignment included at the end. By now you should have your work posted,including your portfolio page, you should have an intro page that will tell a reader what your goals are (for the future) your work and school experience and any other information you want to include(as long as it's appropriate)
As you know our theme for the last 9 weeks of school is nature and observational drawing. What this means is you will be drawing/painting landscapes both in the classroom and out. Look at the mountains all arond town, sketch their shapes and notice the change of color and value in the hills at different times of day.
We will also focus on some sketchbook drawing from life.That means take your sketchbook to the golfcourse by Macy center and look up at all those trees and fill the pages of your sketchbook. Or go down to the river and draw those amazing cottonwood trees. Try drawing only the sky behind the tree and watch the tree emerge in your drawing (think negative space)
We'll look at your work when you get back (even from Wyoming :) And do more. See you soon
Special note to Cody, Get your work done!!!!!! :)
