Over the weekend please watch the following videos. Also, Think about your contrast assignment.
For your next assignment,
I would like you to think in terms of making a painting where your main concern
is to work with the concept of “Contrast”. This is, of course, in addition
continuing to use the medium of acrylic paint on canvas.
Contrast is a principle of
art. When defining it, art experts refer to the arrangement of opposite
elements when designing a work of art. A few examples would be:
• Light vs. Dark colors
• Opaque vs. Transparent
• Rough vs. Smooth
textures
• Large vs. Small shapes
• Two Different
Complementary Colors
(Green vs. Red and so forth)
• Horizontal vs. Vertical
• Warm vs. Cool
• Color (hue and purity)
(Black & White vs. Color)
(Dark Blue vs. Light Blue
You may also think in
terms of intellectual (conceptual)
·
Man vs. Machine
·
Love vs. Hate
·
Dumb vs. Smart
·
Poor vs. Wealthy
You may want to work with
a photo or combination of photos for this project or even a couple of thumbnail
sketches.
The project will be due in
a week and a half. I will go over this assignment in class. However, it will
also be posted on the blog for the class, and I will also give you a hard copy
of the assignment tomorrow as well. Please feel free to email me if you have
any questions as to the assignment.
Also, please bring your
last painting to class tomorrow as well.
