Term Three 2012: Still Life with a Mad Jug

In Term 3 we will go back to working form life , doing some good observation exercises of the mad jugs.Looking through the lens of proportion and relationship we’ll do several days drawing and practise  setting up interesting compositions to work from. Students have committed to finding extreme examples of paintable objects(op shops be on the ready for invasion) which have good shapes in themselves and will create some interesting relationships when paired up with others.

Think mad jug, hand of god clip, spanish angel

see attached

Texture and pattern will come into it, and also eventually colour mixing.(sounds like lot to fit into a term but we will do it in increments)

We will light the still life and by the end of term should be able to describe what nature of colour is the shadow cast on a red scarf by a Spanish angel.Never a dull moment!

and now I will leave you to some good painting over the break and I will disappear into my studio to wrestle with some waterfalls.

Look forward to seeing you all in the new term
