We are going to explore the possibilities of ink washing. I have instructed the students to bring an old towel (bath or beach towel would be best and it will be ruined, so it's not a loan) and I have also asked a few students to bring packs of Styrofoam cups (the cheaper, the better) and I will also bring some. Much of what we are doing now will carry over to our painting lesson as well. I have told students if they wish to use watercolor paper, it is on them as we did not have that expense figured into the budget for this project. Watercolor tablets are relatively inexpensive at Wal-Mart.

Wow, so last week was a wash for us, so we will get back to it and just follow the same plan. We are going to continue our drawing efforts for now with plans to try ink out next week. In order to participate in the ink drawings as well as acrylic painting in a few weeks, students will need an old towel (shower, beach or what ever you have that you don't mind getting ruined). This week will be about landscapes and color pencils.
So last week was a bit of a bust simply because my home computer, the computer I do 90% of my class planning on, crashed. That is all fixed now, so we can finally get back to some sense of normalcy. This week, we will go back to drawing landscapes with color in preparation for our painting lesson coming up in a couple of weeks. After this week, the plan is to move into India ink drawings.
Welcome back from the break! The original plan was to do a little art history when we came back, but computer issues on my side put a dent into that plan and it will be shelved for at least this week. We will be drawing this week just to get us back into the habits and let people get their artistic feet back under them. There will be some rule changes that I believe are needed as well assigned seating. This class has been far too loose and that is my fault, but on the good side, there has been some nice art work coming out of the class as well. Be ready to paint soon and remember to get an older towel from your house that your mother will not mind losing.
