Ink and Paper Collage due Monday 17 October

Nice work exploring Ink with your individual Stillife setups.  I saw successes in everyone's work.

For homework, Continue to explore Ink and Try Collage as you conduct "research" about your final project.  Keep the research open , keep exploring, don't get too specific yet.

Due on the critique wall monday is a series of some sort, utilizing the mediums of Ink and paper collage.  You can draw/paint with Ink and/or you can make different values of paper with your ink to collage with.  You can use any paper.

A few possibilities to consider as part of your ongoing research (better to focus on 1 or 2 at a time):

TECHNICAL 
What type of support (try painting/collaging on several different types of ground)

Size/numbers of Support (what will your series look like, many small works, 2 large works, etc)

Mark Making/ Shape finding (ink is a good medium to explore types of marks and what they express for you versus          how your audience reads them-get a read at critique)

CONCEPTUAL


BIG IDEA(what are all the possible subjects that connect to my idea?)

What does each sense(smell, touch, sight, sound, taste!) have to say about my Big or more specific idea?)

Observational/Conceptual/Abstract?  Sketches/Thumbnails?

Goods luck have fun, I look forward to seeing what u find

Technical Homework due Wed 10/12

Value chart.
10- square inch boxes,  sharing an edge to edge vertically lined up make a value chart when the #1 box is left white and in a even fade the inches darken (increase value) evenly up to box 10 which should be black.  The transitions between the values should flow, not be sharply delineated.


3 charts, each made with a different grade pencil, ex., 2B, 6B, 8B, employ your gummy(gray eraser)

Value-The relative lightness and darkness of all things.

Homework due monday october10
