Remember, you may start/continue with the Inktober challenge. This is completely optional. Plan to show me your completed challenge the week of Oct. 31, which gives you a couple extra days.
Sketchbook Assignment:
Google "animal silhouette" or use one from below. Draw the light outline of the animal of your choice on a piece of watercolor paper in the back of your sketchbook. Don't make it too small. Fill most of the page.
Paint a landscape within the shape using your watercolors. Layers of sky, hills, trees, and grass work well. Remember to let layers dry so they don't bleed together. You can speed up the process with a hair dryer.
I have included two examples that I have painted.
Art Appreciation Assignment:
WEEK 6 QUESTIONS: NOTE: Be sure to watch the video to the very end. During the credits, the actual art talked about in the video is shown in photos.
1. The first rebel artists who protested the strict Neoclassical Academy of Art were called the ________________. Their art tried to evoke _________________.
2. What invention replaced the need for portrait artists?
3. Which art period was interested in capturing the play of color on objects?
4. 19th century art fragmented into a BUNCH of movements due to increased global travel and trade. One of the movements was "Symbolism." If you were to create a series of three paintings about yourself in the style of Symbolism, what symbols would you use for: FEAR, JOY, and PEACE? For instance, mine would be: Fear=a foot on the edge of a cliff Joy=my cat curled up in a ball Peace=a lake scene in Canada
