FA 209 Painting 1 Week 1

Here is the Demo from class

FA 209 Painting 1 Week 1

Week 1 Recap - Tuesday we read the syllabus and had a demonstration for Drawing with Paint in black and white. Thursday students began making their own paintings by staining a canvas and drawing in the wet ground with paint. More images from the process will follow shortly. Next week students should bring Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, Black and White. We will approach the painting process from a different angle.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 1

Week 1 Recap - Tuesday we covered the syllabus and looked at a few of the projects for the semester in a presentation. Thursday we watched the Gamblin Color Space video, discussed the concepts of Hue, Value, Intensity and Temperature. Then we had a demonstration on color matching. The balance of time in class was given to students to begin making their own matches. Next week we will continue to work on the same project... hopefully making more matches.

FA 211 Printmaking Relief Week 1

Week 1 Recap - Monday we discussed the syllabus and watched a video as well as looked at some of the various printmaking media. Wednesday after a brief run through of gouges and the tools of relief print creation we looked at successful student projects in the medium. Finally students were asked to create a practice print using an already carved plate. Next week we will discuss how to sign and matte a print and students should begin carving and printing their own plate based on the Revalucion/Dia de los Muertos theme. Demonstrations will be given for printing again and carving.
