Here are the materials you need to have with you:
22"x30" Stonehenge fawn paper
Charcoal pencil
Black & white conte
Chamois
Hard Eraser
If it is nice outside, we will go to Veteran's Memorial to work. If it is nasty outside, we will go into the main building where we can use the hallways as subject matter.
READ THE ARTICLE I GAVE YOU!!!
Today, we only had seven people in class, and of those only two had read the material. Next week, we will discuss the reading at the very beginning of class. If you have not read the material, I will ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE CLASS and come back after lunch. I will COUNT IT AS AN EXTREME TARDY. Coming into class extremely late is something I do note in my grade book and it does affect your final grade in this class. Don't force me to have to be that kind of asshole, please. "Just Looking" is a short read and it is not overly dense. James Elkins (love him or hate him) is really good at taking complex concepts and expressing them in simple, understandable, down-to-earth language. Come to class Thursday having read the material and ready to discuss it. HAVE OPINIONS.
If you have misplaced the reading I gave you, click HERE for the full text of The Object Stares Back online. Scroll up to page 17 and read only the chapter entitled "Just Looking."
Sorry I couldn't make it to class but I had some medical issues. But I did read the article and enjoyed it.Even your little side notes lol. Since I was absent though, I was wondering for the homework are we still cross hatching?
ReplyDeleteThe manner of mark-making is a bit more open now. Hatching, cross-hatching, using the side of the conte, smoothening areas with the chamois, and any combination of all of these will work. Just remember that you are working on a warm toned paper with cool black and white conte creating planes of value in BOTH directions. For the most part, you do not want black and white to mix one on top of the other. Talk to your peers if you have any questions. Then, if you're still uncertain about anything, come to me.
