Week of 3/21

Hi All,
Firstly, remember that next Monday we will NOT have class as it's the day after Easter.  I'll see you in two weeks.
You Homework:
You are to make a cubist picture of a man or woman playing an instrument of some kind.  Remember that Cubism completely blots out the traditional notion of the illusion of space.  Cubism tends to look shattered and shallow spaced with few forms closer or further away that any others.  Use any color palette you'd like.  Borrow from the greats like Picasso, Gris, and Braque.  Make your own pictures, but it's not cheating to borrow their ideas and morph them into your own!  Your picture should be in acrylic and should fill a sketchbook page.
Good luck!
PS-it should take at least a couple of hours.

Week of 3/7

Hi All,
So this week you are finishing the cubist painting that you started in class.  Finishing just means that you are editing out any details you don't need and adding color to it--but not too much.  Below are some example images of Analytic Cubism that might help.  Notice that the space in these paintings is very shallow, and the color is not terribly rich or extensive.  Lots of browns and grays.
