Project A or B.

Choices.

We all have our choices and you will be provided with two choices as we move into the final 6 weeks of our semester together.
We are going to be discussing both today.

Project A is a Dale Chihuly inspired Sculpture.

Acetate + wooden dowel + Sharpies + Scissors

Analogous Color Schemes / Warms or Cools

Dale Chihuly : Through the Looking Glass

Space - not just how the object will look alone, but how the object will look in a room

Project B is a Boey inspired Sharpie Coffee Cup Drawing.

Sharpie + Paper Cup

Black and white / line / dots / designs / minimal color

pointillism, hatching, cross-hatching, space, size, and focus

Discussing what we thought of it and asking students...

• How would they like to draw without sketching first?
• How would they feel about throwing out at 80% finished project because you "messed it up." 
• What do they think of drawing on coffee cups?
• What else could they draw on?
• How does he make dark and light areas?

Reduction Printmaking Project

Portraits... we are exactly who we are at this very moment... 

we can be better in the next minute, we can be worse, but we are who we are... and we need to be our best us....

But in portraits, we get to be us or someone else or a snapshot of the very moment 

And there are always options...

We will be doing a 2 step printing project.

In the first step we will be identifying the contour line of our portrait.  Carving the material away and inking.  Choose two colors to ink with...... 

The second step with be the elimination of the remaining white.  Finishing by printing what is left.

Chose one color and black.
