It’s not Easy being Green
Students began this Botanical painting unit with a small limited palette study. Students observed live plants and produced a series of thumbnails to decide on an appealing composition. Afterwards students were limited to just two complimentary colors and challenged to produce paintings with a range of values and three dimensional interpretation of their chosen botanical specimen.
Zooming in
This Project involved making observational drawings from Natural specimens and personal objects. Students then zoomed in on a certain part of their object and made more abstracted drawings of their objects, focusing on value and creating a more dynamic composition. Finally students translated one of their drawings using Black, white and gray cut paper. This simplification was an exercise in seeing, value and composition.
