Welcome to your final!

Using all of the things you've learned this semester, the methods, materials, and techniques of painting, create a painting at least 18" x 24" (or several in a series that add up to this). This is your opportunity to revolutionize your own painting abilities. 


At the beginning of the semester, you submitted a painting you made over the summer.  Take a look at how that painting was made and show what more you've learned about the movement and methods of paint in this work. 


The point of the final is to show that you have progressed as a painter over the last few months. You do not need to emulate a master painter, it's time for you to break out on your own. 
Activities: CATALOG EVERYTHING! Take photos and notes.
1. Prep your surface - using gesso for canvas or panel, stretching for watercolor paper, (check with instructor if you choose alternative materials). All surfaces must be at least (or combine to) 18" x 24".
2. While your surface dries from being prepped, create studies and sketches for your final painting. These can be samples of the painting technique(s) you intend to use, compositional studies, etc. 
3. Begin your painting(s). Take your time and work in layers. This is your chance to sink into a work and enjoy it. Do it your way, there is no right or wrong, and yes, mistakes are supposed to happen.
4. Once you have finished your work, create a slide show on Powerpoint that shows us how you came to make this painting. Include some of the artists that influenced your decisions in the work. (The slide show should be at least 6 slides but a max of 10 slides)


Completing the work is your goal, but rushing it is not the best idea. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET IT DONE! Pace yourself, if it helps, make a calendar highlighting the goals for where you need to be each week.
