ART 4

1. VISUAL ANALOGY Create a diptych that shows a VISUAL ANALOGY. Create a portrait of a friend, family

member, yourself, or a portrait from a found image. On another panel or canvas, creating a painting of an objectthat is connected to the person. A visual connection can be made through a color scheme, texture, pattern, etc.

2. RE-CONTEXTUALIZING AN OBJECT

Personally select a still life object that can be recorded as itchanges its normal environment, or a group of objects

that can be arranged to have a personal narrative.

3. NIGHT AND DAY DIPTYCH HOMEWORKDuring the day, select a window or doorway in your home as

the focus (but not necessarily the sole subject matter) for your drawing. Create a

composition that depicts some portion of the interior of the house and a part of the

view outside the window/doorway. Experiment in your sketchbook with a variety ofcompositional possibilities. Capture the quality of the light inside the room, as well as the light outside the room.

As always, emphasize the value-shapes,squinting to better observe essential shapes

and contrasting values. Eliminate small details

and keep your style loose. Plan on about 4-5

hours for this drawing.

Part Two: Set up to draw in the late evening,

when it is dark out. Select the same subject,

but alter the composition if you like. (You may keep it exactly the same.) Repeat the whole process described aboveusing the same mediumand thesame size paper.

4. INSIDE/OUTSIDE

Create a drawing that interprets the concept of INSIDE/OUTSIDE. Use graphite, charcoal, color pencils, conte,

pastels, whatever you would like. Drawing must be 11x16.

5. LIMIT YOURSELF

Choose a subject matter/concept you are interested in. Thinktraditional portraiture, figure, landscape, interior, exterior.

Using paint, oil pastel, or chalk pastel render the subjectmatter/concept using A LIMITED PALETTE. How will all warm,

cool, only complimentary, only primary, or monochromatic colorsaffect the overall atmosphere, feeling, tone of the piece? How

will it reinforce the concept you are trying to express?
