Fun Art:
     Students are working on Mosaic this will be due on the 19th.  Friday we will do a critique for this project.  Most students are done.
     Introduction to Rhythm and Motion on Thursday.  These are two principles of design that we will be putting to the fore front.   These principles in order to do them they will also be doing elements to complete. Rhythm is the repetition of an element, such as; lines, shapes, forms, color, values, even texture.  Motion is a visual movement within a composition, having the eye move through the composition creating the illusion of movement, this can be done by using the same elements as before and adding thick lines, thin, angles, curves, etc.  Students will be using water color to complete this assignment.
     Students should be working on their MID-TERM PROJECTS!!! Due January 20, 2015


Foundation Art II:

Most of the students did very well.  Students are then finishing up their Animal Depth composition.  This is done with 5 different animals of different size.  They must have the whole composition work with each other, and work as one. Right now the assignment is due on the 19th, but will be able to be handed in later.  On Thursday we will be introducing Values. this will help with the mid term project.
