Homework: Painting requires more time spent outside of class than drawing. Because painting and drawing are inseparable “twins” you need to plan sketches and do small painted studies. Take time to evolve and require a lot of experimentation and knowledge of prior and new color theory and brush technique. Painting is not photography, it is not a computer, and it takes time and skillful manipulation of materials and techniques. Come prepared to paint, have your materials set up and your palette set up! You should plan on bringing small containers of paint home to work on your painting over the weekend. Should that prove impossible, then plan on spending time during free periods or afterschool. Be realistic as to what you are really capable of completing given your academic schedule and the fact that we only have 2.5 months to do a painting.



To earn an A in this class You are responsible for your time and need to document three hours a week outside of class on your paintings.
Student is prepared for each class, creates many studies in their sketchbook, has images of inspiration artist at their desk (no need to hunt around on the computer that day of class; has prepared outside of class) has worked on projects beyond the classroom –spent considerable time crafting work). Cleans their tools, space, clean up tasks and completes assignments with great integrity. Takes risks by acquiring knowledge in additional books, asks questions.
