I will be giving you firm due dates on Friday. Please begin your research in your sketchbooks for the following three assignments.
Our next assignment to begin research on is Still Points in a Turning World. As crazy, busy and chaotic as the world is today what keeps you still? What keeps you grounded? Brainstorm ideas in your sketchbook, look at artists and create one 2 page spread on your findings. You may use any technique you want except for any media you have used do not use again. You may want to use mixed media, or oil painting to create your piece. NO COMPUTER REFERENCES OF ANY KIND MAY BE USED ON THIS ASSIGNMENT. IF YOU NEED A REFERENCE MAKE YOUR OWN!
Liquide Light- Research liquide light, create a two page spread on your ideas and the technical aspect of liquide light.
Encaustic- We will be experimenting with Encaustics. I will be showing a powerpoint on the history of Encaustic and a few short video demonstrations and then you will be allowed to experiment with the media to create a small piece.
