ART 4
1. VISUAL ANALOGY Create a diptych that shows a VISUAL ANALOGY. Create a portrait of a friend, family
member, yourself, or a portrait from a found image. On another panel or canvas, creating a painting of an objectthat is connected to the person. A visual connection can be made through a color scheme, texture, pattern, etc.
2. RE-CONTEXTUALIZING AN OBJECT
Personally select a still life object that can be recorded as itchanges its normal environment, or a group of objects
that can be arranged to have a personal narrative.
3. NIGHT AND DAY DIPTYCH HOMEWORKDuring the day, select a window or doorway in your home as
the focus (but not necessarily the sole subject matter) for your drawing. Create a
composition that depicts some portion of the interior of the house and a part of the
view outside the window/doorway. Experiment in your sketchbook with a variety ofcompositional possibilities. Capture the quality of the light inside the room, as well as the light outside the room.
As always, emphasize the value-shapes,squinting to better observe essential shapes
and contrasting values. Eliminate small details
and keep your style loose. Plan on about 4-5
hours for this drawing.
Part Two: Set up to draw in the late evening,
when it is dark out. Select the same subject,
but alter the composition if you like. (You may keep it exactly the same.) Repeat the whole process described aboveusing the same mediumand thesame size paper.
4. INSIDE/OUTSIDE
Create a drawing that interprets the concept of INSIDE/OUTSIDE. Use graphite, charcoal, color pencils, conte,
pastels, whatever you would like. Drawing must be 11x16.
5. LIMIT YOURSELF
Choose a subject matter/concept you are interested in. Thinktraditional portraiture, figure, landscape, interior, exterior.
Using paint, oil pastel, or chalk pastel render the subjectmatter/concept using A LIMITED PALETTE. How will all warm,
cool, only complimentary, only primary, or monochromatic colorsaffect the overall atmosphere, feeling, tone of the piece? How
will it reinforce the concept you are trying to express?

Edible Fashion
Create a simple A-line dress made from objects found in the candy aisle at the grocery store. Use the halfmannequin on a stool as a form. It could be one type of candy or different kinds.
Experiment with adhering/attaching these candies together i.e. melting, twisting,
etc.

one dress any style. Use existing clothing you dont wear anymore, my collection
of vintage dresses that I dont wear anymore, or thrift store finds. Old dress, t-shirts, old jeans, jackets, etc. all can be used. (Shirt at right is made from a mans
dress shirt)
