Sketchbook 5, 6, &7

For the next three weeks the weekly sketchbook assignment is the same: figures and lots of them. Standing, sitting, eating, walking, talking. Go out and sketch them. Sketch your family and friends. Just sketch figures. Pay attention to proportions!

DAIJ & Artist Statement Color Unit

Your DAIJ this unit is on the historical Impressionist painting you chose.  It should include details on Impressionism and the artist.  It should be apparent when reading it that you understand both Impressionism as an art movement and the biography and style (subject matter etc) of your chosen artist. 
Due 2/12/12

Your Artist Statement -- AS ALWAYS -- is not done until all work is complete and the peer and self critique exercises are completed.  Your finished statement should demonstrate your reflection on these critiques as well as a solid reflection on the challenges and successes of this project for you.  Please include information about why you chose this famous masterpiece in the first place.
