1. Print out your favourite artwork created by the artist Picasso Antony Gormley Claus Oldenburg Nick Mackman Debra Fritts Kate MacDowell Sam Jinks Chris Ryniak Yoshitomo Nara Ron Mueck Bruno Catalano Sample appreciation piece: The artist who inspired my design and connected to my chosen theme is Alberto Giacometti. Alberto Giacometti was born in 1901 in the mountain hamlet of Borgonovo, in eastern Switzerland. His work was greatly informed by the World Wars during his life. He created elongated human figures alone in the world and failing to communicate with their fellow man. The figures are roughly finished and worn. His work connects to my theme of exploration because he explores people’s feelings of the time. He makes them thin and beaten to show their sorrow. I original chose this theme as I wanted to explore human emotions but I have now decided to focus on how exploration broadens our minds and makes us to edit. 1st Year 3 D project

Typography is, quite simply, the art and technique of arranging type. It's central to the work and skills of a designer and is about much more than making the words legible. Your choice of typeface and how you make it work with your layout, grid, colour scheme, design theme and so on will make the difference between a good, bad and great design. Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing (leading), and letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning[1]). The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process. In today's class we created our own lettering - TYPOGRAPHY.

We made lettering from masking tape and paint & by using masking fluid too In today's class I collected your sketchbook challenges. Well done to all! I cannot wait to look through the work. During class we used the complementary colours yellow and purple to create the underpainting for a still life composition. After this layer had dried we started to block in full areas of colour to your paintings using directional painting and brushwork to make the objects appear 3-d. After this layer was complete we began to use the mark-making techniques from before midterm to make the objects appear realistic.

In yesterday's class we divided your photos using the proportional guidelines for the face and started to draw the basic outline of the head and marked in where the features are positioned on the face. STAY AWAY FROM DETAIL at this point. If you make a mistake it is easily fixable at this point. Things to consider for Thursday class:
www.pinterest.com/usefulartifacts/two-face/ Homework: Bring in an image you can incorporate into 1/2 or less of the face.

The portrait can be completed using pencil or charcoal but you can use colour or different materials for the sunglasses. Due the 8th November
