1. (What is chapter 13?) I would like to do something along the lines of a light study in color, particularly in the terms of mood manipulation. I feel as though my content will be a figure based outdoors/ in a water environment.
2. I have illustration board, but I would rather work on canvas of the same size. Bigger than 18" x 24". I would like to use some sort of paint, but I'm set on either watercolor or acrylic. Whatever gets me an airy feeling while still retaining contrast.
3. (What is chapter 13?) I do not want to go the way of Kinkade despite doing light studies. It's too dark for my liking. I really like the Hudson River Valley movement, and a lot of those have great concepts of human-in-outdoor-settings. I also love the idea of gold leafing, similar to Gustav Klimt.
4. I might use some of my friend's photos as inspiration (she's a fashion photographer) because she recently did a series of juvenile outdoor shots.

ReplyDeleteChapter 13 is up on Blackboard. It was required reading for class.
Your project sounds a bit vague right now but perhaps this has to do with not having read the chapter yet. I am confused where your friend's fashion photography will meet human-in-outdoors, will meet water environment/color study. I think it would be great to have you hone in on a specific area of interest and would encourage you to think about some of your own source material as inspiration. We're all amateur photographers these days, no?
Take a look at the Chapter, and let's see if we can get more into the nitty-gritty.

ReplyDeleteLike Samantha, I am not really sure what ideas you are going to be working on in this drawing. Let's talk tomorrow. Chapter 13 is posted on Blackboard and it deals with issues of the human body. The last homework assignment required you to read Ch. 13.
HI Amber, Have you developed a proposal yet? I'd like to get more specifics from you before class tomorrow. I want you to be coming to class prepared to work on your outside project. Send me more specifics. Thanks,
