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.

Artwork by Intro to Art Student Fall 08
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.
