 Below are several of the pieces that really stand out amongst all of the very good work completed by the Art3 class of Summer 2013. Enjoy the remainder of your summer. Christie Noe Eunice Solis Kacie Brunk Ma Samson Natalia Chamaki Sophia Brisbois

Today was the last work day in class for the final project. Tomorrow morning students will take the second quiz and we will critique the paintings. Pix to follow.

Gage Sperry Students continued working on the final project. Gage's painting above illustrates a series of cubes overlapping and stacked inside one another. Notice how the color choice influences spatial depth. The cool blues are receding behind the warm oranges. One more day of class time to complete this project.

Mushky Rice Students began work on their final projects today: Ambiguous Space. The objective is to create a space that simultaneously advances while receding. The slide lecture introduced the class to paraline views and the work of Victor Vasarely. Mushky's sketch has four oblique view cubes in the corners with a distorted, fish-eye grid unifying the space.

Gwenny Williams Last Thursday students completed drawing their two-point perspective projects by adding tonalities and contours in ink. Gwenny's drawing above illustrates a zig-zag movement by way of the solid black shapes distributed across the structure. She has also used repetition in shapes (see the elliptical windows) and texture as well (see the parallel hatches and stippling). Gwenny has employed the principles of design very effectively.

Class began with a critique of the one-point perspective drawings followed by a demonstration of two-point perspective. Students will continue working on them tomorrow. Portfolios are due as well. Portfolios must be prepared outside of class and ready to turn in our they will be marked late.

Christie Noe Class began with a critique of the texture inventories. Followed by a lecture and demo on one-point linear perspective . Christie's drawing above has a left to right movement due to the placement of the vanishing point off to the right side of the composition. The strength of the drawing at this point in its unfinished state is the way she has repeated the "z" shapes and transforming them into an "L" down in the lower right.
