See you Tuesday.

Sketchbook work
a. Spend some time documenting the landscapes that you see in your everyday environment throughout the week. You can write down what you see or take photographs.
b. Make some drawings/collages in your sketchbook that reflect some of the scenes that you find.
2. Research at least 2 of the artists whose work piques your interest. Look at several of their pieces, read their artist’s statements and research their lives. What inspires them? What do they look at or think about? Make notes in your sketchbook about your discoveries. (2 pages of notes in sketchbook)
3. Choose a landscape with foreground, middle ground and background that is especially compelling to you both aesthetically and conceptually. Consider CONTENT. What does this landscape mean to you? What does it remind you of?
Process, methods and ideas
Your landscape must be a visible element in your final project.
