ANIMATION!

Posted 3 years, 2 months ago at 7:36 pm. 0 comments

This project involves the same processes as animators use to create painted cells. Cells are typically clear acetate. We will be using Acrylic paints for color, .005 Acetate for surface and ultra fine tip sharpie permanent markers for outlining. Students are to bring in a print out of a cartoon of their choice. We will trace the character on acetate and develop a controlled painting of the cell. Students will also use watercolor to create a background for the cell to overlay upon.

FRANZ MARC

Posted 3 years, 3 months ago at 10:45 am. 0 comments

FRANZ MARC
was born on February 8, 1880, in Munich, Germany. He studied at the Munich Art Academy. Franz Marc was a pioneer in the birth of abstract art at the beginning of the twentieth-century The Blaue Reiter group put forth a new program for art based on exuberant color and on profoundly felt emotional and spiritual states. It was Marc’s particular contribution to introduce paradisiacal imagery that had as its dramatis personae a collection of animals, most notably a group of heroic horses.
Tragically, Marc was killed in World War I at the age of thirty-six, but not before he had created some of the most exciting and touching paintings of the Expressionist movement.

GESTURE DRAWING

Fast, sometimes furious! Drawing as quickly as you can, by looking at objects, and capturing their essence using much of your visual and memory skills as possible.

CONTOUR DRAWING

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago at 2:01 pm. 0 comments

Contour means “outline”, and presents exterior edges of objects. A plain contour has a clean, connected line, no shading and emphasizes an open “shell” of the subject. More complex contours can imply shading values through interior outlines (top right), may have line textures or be contrasted with mixed media. Pencil drawing, ball point pen and black markers are good practice tools. Contour is slow and more deliberate with no erasing. Begin with a focal point on the object and continue concentration as if the eyes were drawing the image. The pencil/pen, once placed on the paper stays there moving in a slow line development until the entire contour is completed. Eyes focus from object to paper without head movement.

CESAR SANTANDER: American Photorealist

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago at 1:13 pm. 0 comments

Artist’s Statement:
” I conceive an idea for a painting. I then arrange the objects and use the camera to produce the strongest photographic example of my original idea. Then I paint the photographic image. Superficially, I appear to copy the photograph, but I make many adjustments to the photographic image as I complete the painting. I try to impose my own vision by subtle adjustment of colours, edges and details so that the finished painting is the strongest representation of the original idea.”

CARL BRENDERS: Watercolor/Graphite

Posted 3 years, 5 months ago at 12:56 pm. 0 comments

Carl Brenders’ love for all creatures, from the friendly to the ferocious, is evident in his masterful attention to their every detail; nothing is overlooked. With his imagination, Brenders is able to get close enough to wild animals so that he can almost feel their textures. Consequently, his work has a tactile reality, giving us the sense of having been where even the most intrepid of field guides have not ventured. Of this ability Brenders says, “A painter is a privileged being, because in his imagination he can come very close to the animals he paints. In reality, one can never come this close to wild animals, particularly if they are predators.”

Brenders’ insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection: “That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism — I want to capture that perfection,” he says.

The wildlife images of Brenders’ art are first created from pencil sketches; from these sketches his mixed media paintings of watercolor and gouache are completed with a technique he has developed during the last 25 years. His paintings, encompassing every intricacy of nature, devote equal attention to the detail of the wildlife subject and its habitat as well as to the mood created by the light.Courtesy Mill Press Pond

JANET FISH IMAGES FOR THE PAINTING CLASS
Fish, Janet, (b. 1938), was born in Boston. Her grandfather, Clark Voorhees was an American Impressionist, her father an art history teacher, and her mother, Florence Whistler Fish, a sculptor and potter. She studied sculpture and printmaking at Smith College and Skowhegan Summer School. She was one of the first women artists to receive her MFA from Yale University in 1963.

Fish received her first one-woman exhibition in 1971 where her work sold out before the opening, and during the next several years became an established New York artist.
