A Sense of Place homework update.

A few people have emailed me about the files on First Class not opening properly. I just reloaded all the pictures to the Art folder in the Oil Painting 2 class folder. If you're having trouble look there regardless of which class you're in. Email me if you're still having trouble.

I'll be looking for updated blogs tomorrow evening as I calculate mid-term grades.

A Sense of Place.

On class conferences you will fins a folder labeled ART.

Open it and look at ALL the images in the secondary folder labeled A Sense of Place.

Choose two paintings with very different MOODS and do the following:

• Paste them into a post on your blog. Be sure to include the artists' names. 
• Describe the moods of the two paintings.
• Describe HOW the artists created the moods using specific examples from the paintings and the vocabulary we've developed so far this term.

This is week 7.

This will be the week for you to really dive into and hopefully finish the Texture and Surface paintings. It probably feels like we just started them but hopefully all the knowledge you gained in working on the White Objects painting will pay off and you'll see yourself moving things along a little more quickly. 

Unfortunately, I'll be out on jury duty starting Wednesday. This will be an opportunity for you to utilize each other's strengths, whether they be in canvas stretching, color mixing, or remembering homework/blog stuff, so that you can do your best work without me here to push you. Ask each other questions. Share strategies. Check in on one another. I'll be reachable by email.

At the end of this week I'll be submitting mid-term grades. If you haven't finished a project I'll be assessing it in its current state...same goes for the blog. Please carefully check the blog rubric so you won't be shocked when you receive your mid-term grade. Any information you can't find here is on class conferences or the bulletin boards, as always.

Happy painting.
