Discussion

Critique

1. Present your 2 photo-collages and re-worked Value Scale
2. Class will determine the success with regard to the assignment guidelines.
   • (1) Narrow Value Range: either high-key or low-key
   • (1) Broad Value Range
   • Emphasis: create a focal point wherein one area or element is emphasized (even within the narrow range) through size, placement, value contrast, or isolation.

Assignment #3: NEXT STEP

1. Collages:
   
   • Keep your photo-collage squares separate for now and in good shape. Make sure they are properly marked indicating the TOP and numbered from left to right, top to bottom.
2. Paintings (Part 1):
   • For each composition, take a piece of 9×12″ bristol and in pencil measure out the size of your composition with a corresponding grid. You will be painting on these pieces, so keep them clean and neat.
   • Using your Value Scale as a guide, you will be recreating each photographic square using a range of black, white, and gray values, achieving continuous tone in areas where highlight and shadow blend together.
   • Do not worry about accurately rendering an eye, nose or ear, think only in terms of value, the boundaries of each value shape relationship.
   • Notice how some values crossover shape boundaries into adjoining areas (open-value), while others are limited by the edges of the shape (closed-value).
   • Work on each square independently, but refer back to the original overall composition as you work.
   • When you have completed each composition carefully protect all elements with a piece of clean sketchbook paper and cardboard.
   • We will mount both the original photographic collage and the painting together in class.
