Hwk 2/27: Continued discussion on ABSTRACTION

Hwk 2/27: Continued Discussion on ABSTRACTION

1) Re-Visit and EDIT your last post on "NARRATIVE" & "NON-NARRATIVE" art. Add a definition on "FIGURATION" & "ABSTRACTION" and discuss the categorization of art as such. Can figurative art ever be non-narrative? Abstract art narrative? Think about where these things begin and end and explain with examples.

Think about how these definitions apply to your 6" x 6" images of eyes. Is the abstract image reading as narrative/ non-narrative? Why? Does the figurative eye necessarily give you overt narrative? If so why? If not why not?

2) Work on your 10 Experimental Drawings!

3) Bring in all of your black paper (18" x 24"), scratch tools (calligraphy holder, nibs, ink, brush, ball point pen)

  1. Hello! Can you clarify what the ink and brushes that we need are? I didn't see it on the list… thanks!!

  2. Sorry. I just re-read the supply list. There are micron pens (markers) on there instead of ink and brushes. If you have black India ink and a very fine tip watercolor brush you can bring this instead of or in addition to the micron. Scratch board is India ink on clay board or paper, so this is the only means you'll have for correction. Let me know if you need further clarification.
