FINAL

For your Final presentation you must select your BEST work done for this class and either

A: Mount your images on a black presentation board as shown approximately below.

Print your Final painting and your favorite images at least Letter size (8.5 x 11) or larger. Others you can combine 2 on a sheet or print them smaller to fit the space of your board. Present at least 4 images. Your Final painting must be one of them. The board should be no smaller than 18'X24' and no larger than 30'x40'. You can use double sided tape or mounting spray or gluestick or whatever else is not visible from the outside. Just no cellophane tape on the outside or staples please.
Include your name on the board.

OR

B: Display them on a webpage accessible from the Internet. A blog page or any site that hosts images and displays them in an easily accessible way on a dedicated html document is fine. You can also build a custom html page and upload it as well, of course, if you wish. The requirement is that your work is viewable online, in a resolution optimized for the web ( not much larger nor much smaller than the average computer screen ) and includes your Final painting as well as at least 3 other images you created for this class.

WK 11: COLOR SITUATIONS

This assignment is about showing how the color of the light can affect the color on the character, or, rather, about creating different color designs for your character that suggest a different lighting situation.

Take 1 character of your creation, and create 3 versions of their color design, suggesting 3 different light environments.

Do not just take your colors and add the same filter to all of them! This is about redesigning your color scheme for each color of lighting, and changing the color relationships between the different areas.

Here is an example of the same characters in a variety of light situations

WK 10. DESIGNING IN SERIES

For this assignment I want you to design 2 series of 3 objects each. Inanimate objects. Possibly part of an interior or exterior environment, and you can definitely start planning for your final painting ( multiple chars. in an environment ) by designing objects you will use therein.

Do one series in color and one just with line ( value or color optional )

Now, the catch, is that the objects have to represent "tiers" or "levels" within the same category. There should be a clear, and more or less even progression.

For example:

Look at these 3 objects. You can see that they are

A. The same "type" of object (namely, oil lamps).
B. All made out of clay
C. They share a color scheme.
D. 1 - 2 - 3 spouts!
E. Value structure please
and F. Don't kill yourself! Make something clear and simple, focus on design. Even in a simple object there is PLENTY detail to paint. This is about creating progression with design elements; try to show what ideas you came up with to create the tier structure.

Ah, The memories...
