day 4 - oh joy
This is the view from my kitchen window:
From the way my week has gone, this blog is going to end up being a repository of whining and bitching. BO-RING!
Instead I'll tell you about my homework for Painting Studio. Here's the project description:
Contrast Diptych
Materials: compositional studies; 2 supports (any size) with gesso or other preparation; acrylics (or other media), mediums, equipment; mounting and hanging equipment.
Process: make preliminary studies demonstrating variations on your theme; select and execute, making changes and additions that suppport your subject as you work; hang the work in various relationships using mounting equipment.
Examples of Contrasts:
- complexity/simplicity
- organic/geometric
- warm/cool
- large/small
- interior/exterior
- transparency/opacity
- painterly/graphic
- boldness/subtlety
- linear/curvilinear
- depth/flatness
- heavy/weightless
- male/female
- accent/neutrality
- activeness/stasis
- public/private
- irrational/rational
- representational/abstraction
- romantic/classic
- asymmetry/symmetry
- textural/smooth
- acculturated/primitive
- blah/blah/blah/you get it
I also have to construct my own supports instead of buying them ready made like I've been doing so far. Sooooooo, I'm doing 1 support in door skin and pine and the other support in plexiglas.
I'm still working out the actual painted part.
