Painting I
The monochromatic watercolor self-portrait is due Thursday, February 18th. If you have had extended absences during the time we've worked on these, please talk to Mr. Klausing about arranging a new due date for your painting project. Remember, the grading criteria for the monochromatic self-portrait. They are:
- Quality of Drawing/Likeness
- Use of Value Contrast in Painting
- Craftsmanship/Control and use of Watercolor Techniques
- Detail/Complexity/Difficulty of Challenge
- Neatness and Presentation of Project

All students need to provide a high-contrast photo for their next watercolor activity- Lift-Off Painting in Watercolor. Students should have these photos with them when they come to class on Tuesday, February 16th.

Students will also be doing a reading activity from the ARTFORMS textbook which will cover the background and history of various painting techniques. This activity will be done in class Monday and Tuesday of the week of February 16th - February 19th.
