WEEK 3 _ Prescribed Actions

Consider today's power point presentation discussing Cubism and the fractured picture plane as well as the variety of pictorial strategies that we discussed in the work of subsequent artists. (A copy of the power point may be found on Canvas, Files > Unit 1, if you wish to go back through the images.)





 First Reincarnation Increased ScalePrescribed Actions


Step Four:   

  • A.) Students will use their erasure with line drawing as a model, replicating the structure   of their drawing directly on the surface of their enlarged charcoal drawing. This structure will be neither exclusively foreground nor background, but rather a device for fracturing the picture plane, and substantially reorganizing the overall composition.  
  • B.) Students will also introduce 1-3 new patterns or textures into their composition.   Added patterns/textures must cover at least 50 percent of the composition and cannot   be exclusively foreground or background. 

 

Begin in class and continue for HW. 


DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, Sept. 17


Due for Critique & in-class submission: All elements of this project > original drawings (x3), erasure with line drawing that you selected (x1), Resolved Large Charcoal Prescribed Actions drawing (x1)
