For next Tuesday March 3rd have a black and white portrait ready for the next painting project. The last 30 minutes of class 2/26 (thursday) you will have the option of sitting for a “photo-booth” self portrait via the instructor’s computer.
This project will involve reducing a black and white image to 5 values, white, black and 3 greys. Transfer the portrait to your drawing paper and scale it up to at least 8 x 10 inches. The first painting will illustrate our normal perseption while the second rendering will appear as a negative, blacks will be white, white black, light greys become dark greys, etc.
The project will result in a diptych, a single work of art made up of two paintings, prints or drawings.
Due thursday, March 19th. After appropriate demonstrations, relevant lecture and discussion, class time will be divided between continuing in-class drawing projects in addition to extended homework assignments like the reduced value diptych.
