THE ZINGER

  For their first foray into color and their introduction to painting students set up a MICROLAB ( a set of specific problems to solve quickly) of a REDLECTIVE OBJECT, A COLORED OBJECT, AND SHADOWS CROSSING 2 COLORS .  they worked from life after using a smartfone as a viewfinder .

 This is an example of a COLOR SEARCH on the same page as the microlab. sometime interesting juxtapositions happen. 

"We don't need no stinkin' tables!"

Studio students really getting into their first foray in color. Oil pastels are just oil paint on a stick and they are making a small painting of highly colored objects after studying artists like Wayne Thiebaud and Janet Fish. We jump into oil paint next.
