HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR DECEMBER 9
For Friday December 9th, choose and paint a scene keeping in mind the principles for choosing a scene that we discussed in class. If you can remember these principles when you are picking out a scene to paint, you are going to have a higher rate of success.
1- Think in terms of positive and negative spaces. (stay away from scenes with lots of positive and negative spaces if you are a beginner or if you are not feeling really ambitious).
2- Identify and focus on the larger shapes in your scene.
3- Simplify your scene by zooming in on just part of it, the part that makes the simple statement you want to make.
Remember to attach a name to your homework painting.
