Anthony Blackburn BT Savatdy Carlos Barrera Lily King Mary Roll Suria Jones Trey Smith Here is a mere sample of the excellent work students of Art 3 Summer 2012 have created. Everyone made exceptionally well crafted and designed paintings. This project was inspired by the work of Victor Vasarely.

Dana DeLuca Last day to work on Ambiguous Space Projects in class. Tomorrow we critique the finished work. Dana's piece above has structural dynamics with the calm uniformity of cool monochromatic colors and neutrals. The painting is in progress hence the blue tape on the sides.

Kayla Patton Students continued working on the Ambiguous Space Project. The painting above is unfinished. She is still working out the background area.

Yaraseb Reyes Last week we discussed using one and two point linear perspective for creating the illusion of three dimensionality and spatial depth. Today we discussed Paraline Views, specifically oblique views and isometric views. We began with a slide lecture on the work of Victor Vasarely . The project is to create an ambiguous space; one that simultaneously advances and recedes. The drawing above is the preliminary sketch. From here, Yaraseb will choose a color scheme and start painting.

Class began with  critique of the Color Schemes project followed by a slide lecture and demonstration on One Point Linear Perspective. Linear perspective establishes the viewer's location and position within the picture plane while creating the illusion of spatial depth. The main things to remember with linear perspective are: 1. Establish the horizon line (eye level). 2. Maintain a fixed point of view. 2. Parallel lines will converge at points located on the horizon line. The "vanishing points" are always located on the horizon line. 3. Objects will appear to diminish in size as they recede towards the horizon line and vanishing points.

Mary Roll Students continued working on their Color Schemes today. The objective for this project is to gain experience in mixing colors and values. In addition, students can witness the affect of color on composition. In particular, observe how the distribution of weight changes as well as the way shapes advance and recede according to temperature and value. The color schemes above are (L to R) monochromatic: warm, tertiary triad, analogous, split-complementary, monochromatic: cool, complementary.

Jeanne Buckens Today we discussed color schemes and the properties of color: hue, intensity, tints and shades, etc. Color Schemes are standard color combinations that create unified compositions. The project is to paint six different color schemes using the same composition. The schemes are monochromatic: warm (pictured), monochromatic: cool, analogous, complementary, split-complementary and a triad. Notice in the painting above how yellow turns to green when mixed with black. This is just one example of having the appearance of multiple colors from one hue.
