Observations on the History of Oil Painting.

Use your research from this term and concepts and terms we’ve discussed in class to make some general observations about the history of oil painting.

Use these questions to guide your writing:

Who have been the major players throughout the history of oil painting? Why is this so?

Who seems to be missing from the history of oil painting? Why is this so?

Where in the world did most oil painting taking place?

Where did all these oil paintings go? Why? How does where these paintings “live” affect who learns about them and why?

How has subject matter changed over time? Why?

 

Be sure to use specific examples to back up your opinions (some of these examples can be from your own personal experiences).

This is week 10.

This week you should get started on your Sense of Place paintings. Select your locations, make sketches, and get going. 

Don't forget to post a photo of your location on your blog and to describe the mood you've decided to communicate and how you will do so.

Additionally, there is a new homework assignment to do on your blog and, if you haven't already, post your notes from the critique of your first two paintings.
