Painting II
Arts 2317
Week by Week (plan B) (sample)

January 18 Introduction - Syllabus; Icebreaker, Problem I. Self-portrait: a cubist experience. This problem will require you to execute a painting in the cubist style. I would highly recommend that you lookup cubism and learn something about it so that you can better understand it. Due date: Feb. 8th.

Cubism-Name given by a critic.

A style of panting develop by Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Georges Braque, who built up still-life and figures with cube like shapes. From 1907 to 1911, Analytical Cubism presented multiple views; neutral colors in flatten ambiguous space. Analytical Cubism is often refereed as intellectual cubism because of the scientific approach of breaking the picture plane into its parts. Joined by others artist, by 1912 Synthetic (collage) Cubism appeared with fewer forms, interwoven surfaces, rich colors, and textures. Synthetic Cubism is often referred as decorative because of the plastic use of the movement. Cubism was influenced by Paul Cézanne’s efforts to reduce volume and space to simple cones, cylinders, and planes as if objects were seen from several vantage points. As a post-impressionist, he sought to use classical "qualities"; i.e., vertical and horizontal forces (shapes) often seen in art found in museums, but without the realistic appearances. Light/color to him was important as a tool to help with his compositions. This sculptural approach together with the influence of African art and the rebellious posturing of young artist efforts to "get away" from the Academies formalist ideology also played a part in the cubist movement.
--Your job is to paint a self-portrait in a cubist style. You will need a mirror and masking tape to execute your painting. The masking tape if needed is used to anchor the mirror to the easel

February 18 Problem II, a pointillist painting. I don't care what you paint, but it must be painted in a pointillist style. Like in the first problem, I would recommend that you understand what a pointillist painting is. Look it up. Due Date: Feb. 29.

February 29 Problem III, a surrealist painting. Again the content and subject matter is your. Due date: March 21.

Surrealism In Paris in the 1920's a few Dadaist (a movement among European poets and experimental writes and artist who expressed their rebellion at the uselessness of war and the meaningless of all past art) like Francis Picabia and Max Ernst and avant-garde writers like Andre Breton brought their ideas together in a new movement called surrealism. According to Breton, the movement was based on the conviction that dreams and other non-rational mental processes were the most important way to deal with life. Such people as Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung (Swiss) influenced the surrealists. They advocated spontaneous or automatic scribbles, doodles, or drips as a means of bringing the unexpected and the element of shock for art's sake. Dreams or dream-like situations become the norm for some while others invented worlds where things or objects dominated.

March 21 Problem IV, a pop art painting. Same rules as the other ones. Due date: April 6.

Pop Art A movement of the late 1960s, that combined both fantasy and realism. It began in London in 1956 when a group of artist, architects, and art historians that studied symbolism and imagery related to mass society. Among them was Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein. Pop Art focused on movies, billboards comic books advertising and other mass items related to everyday usage. Pop artists examine our everyday world and report it directly, with neither satire nor antagonism, but with such intensity that the spectator frequently becomes conscious for the first time of what he or she sees everyday. Pop Art depends on large scale to increase the impact, thrusting forward the monumental aspects of the culture we ignore. Another characteristic of Pop Art is repetition--machine type mass-produce patterns reminiscent of packages found in rows which are typical of many items in our culture (supermarkets, etc.). Other notable artists of the movement are Robert Indiana, Jim Dine, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, and George Segal among others.

April 6 Problem V, an expressionistic painting. Due date:, May 2, day of the Final Review.

The Gesture Drawing

1. Mass Gesture: A drawing, which is executed from the core of the object and in which one quickly, identifies value areas and then blocks them in. For example, what areas are dark and what areas are light
2. Line Gesture: A drawing related to contour drawing, but which incorporates the use of loose quick lines that define the whole first and then goes into smaller areas.
3. Mass/Line: Line Gesture drawings that are blocked in.
4. Scribble line Gesture: Exactly what it implies.
5. Sustained Gesture: A line gesture drawing that requires more controlled. In a gesture drawing the idea is not to lift the drawing implement off the paper. One should try to go with the flow and energy of the pose and not worry about getting to concern with details found in the figure. One should work with long flowing lines and should draw in a standing position with arm extended.

Prerequisite: Permission of Department Chair; Lec 2, Lab 4, Cr 4 exhibit of all seniors to The course requires five new pieces of artwork to be made during the last semester.

5. Art Major Portfolio

IMPORTANT DATES: Thesis due: April 10 (sample)
ATTENDANCE: To be determined by individual students with consent with instructor.
GRADING:

1. Completion of satisfactory exhibit and thesis: A
2. Completion of satisfactory exhibit only: C
3. No exhibit and thesis: F
4. Paper dateline missed, highest possible grade B

The thesis should be an essay that explores a historical relationship between your development and those historical influences. You have to stop and think and ask the questions of why you do the artwork that you do. Where did it come from? How did I end up in this stage? Why do I paint, draw, sculpt, etc. the way that I do? Is there a relationship somewhere? Is it a movement, a style, an artist, or what? Think about all the possibilities. Don't assume that you are self-made and that you are a one of a kind. This is going to be the biggest hurdle. Once you jump it, it will slowly come to you. There is a possibility that there is a multitude of factors. If this is the case, narrow it down to the most significant. If you can't get started, see me. (ASAP)

I highly recommend a title to get you going. This will give you direction and will keep you in track. Also, make an outline--one that you understand and follow it--show it to me; we can talk about it. The more contact you have with me the better. As for the exhibitions, I don't want sloppy work, framing, or wet work. This is your time--so take advantage of it. Any questions see me. The dates of the shows will be decided by the second week.
