On Friday the class made mixed media texture pieces with both collage and painted areas. The subject was a still life. The images consisted of actual, simulated and invented textures. Students adhere found materials as well as fashioned materials like hand-painted patterns and simulated textures. Linda Job Linda's piece consists of various craft papers cut into shapes representing elements of the still life. She then painted the surface with a uniform color (blue-gray). Once that layer dried, she spread a thin layer of paint wiping away the excess allowing the residue to remain along the cracks and within the various textures.

Yesterday the class made drawings of imaginary structures in two-point linear perspective. The very modern looking design above is well balanced with repeating textural elements as well as repeating shapes. The row of circular windows creates a dot to dot path leading the "eye" to the cones, up and down the zig-zag pipe and back around to the circles. A secondary movement has been established by the two upper rectangles relating to the same texture in the space at the bottom of the composition.
