Students were introduced to their Mid-term Sculpture. This will be due on the 15th of April. Students were given a handout with all instructions. The key is CREATIVITY. Many things are not allowed but by using their creativity they will be able to come up with a great sculpture. A parent critique will need to accompany this sculpture.
This week students are working on the color wheel. They will do roughs then transfer the best onto small think with a 1/2 inch border. Students will then be doing the color wheel using the primary and secondary colors to also make the tertiary colors. Students will also be doing two tints with each color mixed. Craftsmanship is a big part of this assignment because of the need to see the color change as well as the value change. We should be able to critique on Friday.
