Homework for next week:
Reflective Surfaces
Bring one or two small reflective objects and a colorful object that it
can reflect. A patterned piece of cloth or paper to sit the object onto
or next to will work. Doing this initial painting from life is best, but
if you would rather work from a photo, that is okay, too.
Examples of reflective objects:
forks, spoons, knives, metal spatula
shiny metal bowl or cup
shiny metal tools: tape measure, pliers, scissors, etc.
shiny metal vase or vessel
I hope you got a good start on the drawing on Friday
and that you are "chiseling" away at the puzzling together of
value/color shapes that make up your reflective image. Since that is a
very complex and tedious project, just bring in what you have up to the
last class day and we will work on those in class. If you finish those
I'd like you to work on a painting of your choice in class. That way, if
you need feedback it will be available to you before class is over.
Remember we are taking a group class photo on the last day!

 |
| Roxana uses a metal pencil sharpener as her reflective object. She posed it on a yellow fabric surface. |
|
 |
| After taking a photo of her still life, she traces the areas of reflectivity onto paper. |
|
 |
| She makes the point that sharp edges are part of what makes an image appear to be reflective. |
|
 |
| Students have set up their objects for a still life, and are beginning the composition process. |
