Journal Prompt: Expressive Color Layers. Collect several newspaper pages to use as a background. Glue down the newspaper into your journal. Look over the newspaper and find words with similar meanings - it should be words that have a feeling or mood. Use watered down gesso to make a layer over everything on the newspaper except those words. Next, find collage elements or make transfers that go with the isolated words. Use color (watered-down acrylic) to make layers of color that express the isolated words - analogous colors are more comfortable while complimentary colors feel much more edgy. With the images and colors, describe the isolated word. You can add more text if needed.

In class/ Studio Assignment:
- Monday: SNOW DAY!! NO SCHOOL
- Tuesday: 1-9 Value Scales
- Wednesday: Students will be drawing forms - Demo on drawing sphere and cone
- Thursday: Students will be drawing forms - Demo on cube and cylinder
- Friday: Finish drawing individual forms. Demo on Geometric Value mini-labs - Create a 5x3 rectangle- Using only straight lines, create a geometric composition - within each shape that was created through the lines intersecting, shade in a 0-9 value scale - the rules for this are that you cannot have any sides of two neighboring shapes touch if they have the same value so it will become a puzzle. (corners can touch but not full sides). Begin in class, finish for homework.
Visual Verbal Journal Assignment: Journal on next monday due to snow day.
