Just a reminder...Final Painting is due tomorrow, December 7, by 10 PM here on Padlet. I am so looking forward to seeing these! Our final critique (which stands for our final exam) will be on December 8 at 11:40. I will send you a Zoom link here on Tuesday morning.

I wanted to share this basic map of the face to help you with your portraits. The face is comprised of a sphere are slightly rectangular shape (the jaw). It can be cut into halves from top to bottom and into thirds from left to right. You can see that the eyes sit right under the top line, nose sits right above the second and the chin is at the bottom. There is also an equal amount of space between the eyes and on the sides of them that is the same length as the eye itself. The split from bottom and top lips sits right in the middle of the bottom third. The ears are typically between the top and bottom thirds. Always remember to give yourself a forehead AND the top of your head. It is not flat, your skull curves and there is also volume where your hair sits.

We are going to have our meetings on BlackBoard Collaborate. Just join the Final Project Discussion meeting at your selected time.

# data[].attributes.body
Let me know if one of those do not work. We are meeting one on one and it should not take longer than 5-10 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a poll where you can select a time.

# data[].attributes.body
What time is the meeting? For some reason Padlet delayed a lot of my notifications and I’m not sure I received the message

# data[].attributes.body
Also, I will send the Zoom link in the morning!

# data[].attributes.body
To everyone that I asked to make alterations, have the updated drawings posted here before we Zoom tomorrow so that we can discuss your work. Looking forward to seeing you all!

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That’s great, Jordan!

# data[].attributes.body
If one of these spots does not work for you, email me and we can figure something else out.

Yes, these are not due until tomorrow. If I gave you suggestions just have them submitted before we meet on Zoom. Our Zoom chats will only take a few minutes (probably 5-10). I am going to send out a poll for you to let me know a time that works for you and also gives you enough time to get your paintings finished before we have our Final Critique.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I am just so impressed with how each of your portrait drawing skills has improved! Incredible.

# data[].attributes.body
A'Daesha, add more value contrast to your hair or the background so that the portrait pops more. I love the texture you've made in your hair and I really don't want you to lose that. So the background pattern is probably a better place to darken.

# data[].attributes.body
These are due tomorrow right? Just wanted to check because your initial message said they were due December 1 and I haven’t finished mine yet

# data[].attributes.body
Devin, I think your figure needs to be bigger (crop more out) Try and position yourself in the drawing the same way Picasso was. Also, the entire piece needs to be much more shaded. The mood of that painting was achieved through how much darkness was present.

# data[].attributes.body
Ariel- Add more contrast within the spirals. Just use a little bit of charcoal and some toilet paper to smudge it, I would use dark, medium, light gray and attempt to maintain some white in the lines.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! I am so impressed with these! Great job everyone!! So excited to see them in paint.

# data[].attributes.body
Should I do more to this?

# data[].attributes.body
ok i will do that, i am currently away from home for thanksgiving and left the piece at home but can certainly have it done by the weekend once i get back.

# data[].attributes.body
Devin, for full credit you need to finish the entire piece which includes the background (replicate the one in the original painting) and this is a good time to mention that the backgrounds in your charcoal self portrait should also include the background that is in reference to your chosen artist's self portrait.

# data[].attributes.body
Also, I know this medium is tricky, especially with our homemade pigments. Great job on top of that!

# data[].attributes.body
Great job class! Stephanie, could you try and take another photograph? The one you shared seems blurry.

# data[].attributes.body
Great job Ariel! That is lovely!

# data[].attributes.body
Class, you have two assignments left for the semester. One is a black and white charcoal drawing that will serve as a "rough draft" for the final painting. Spend time on these, they should be finished drawings. They will be your concept of combining your self portrait to the artist self portrait you did a painting of a couple weeks ago. You will submit this here (on Padlet) December 1. The final painting will be due December 7 by 10 PM (on Padlet as well) We will have our final critiques December 8 at 11:40 AM (that is the final exam period for this class) I am having both sections meet during this critique together. Between the due dates I would like to set up individual Zoom meetings to discuss how to finish your final paintings based off of your charcoal drawings. They should not last longer than 15 minutes. I also encourage you to email me questions you have as they arise while working.

I used Rembrandt white pastel it mixed well for me.

# data[].attributes.body
All white pastel should be almost exactly the same. I am sorry you are having difficulty!

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly have no idea what brand it is, I have had it for years. Does another classmate want to chime in on what they use?

# data[].attributes.body
All of the weekly assignments are due the Monday night before our Tuesday "class" time by 10 PM. The Verdaccio was due November 16, the color tempera will be due next Monday.

# data[].attributes.body
when is the first tempera painting due? im looking for due dates and i can't actually find any besides the color tempura

# data[].attributes.body
What brand/ type of white charcoal do you use? I keep having trouble with mine not wanting to to mix with the water and egg.

# data[].attributes.body
Excellent job with the Verdaccio tempera paintings. I am excited to see them with the flesh colors overlaid.

# data[].attributes.body
This will be due on November 23 at 10 PM.

# data[].attributes.body
The color tempera demonstration is now on the YouTube channel under the Live Stream category. Use this to paint the flesh tones over your Verdaccio tempera painting. Remember to play around with as many flesh tones as possible but to make sure that you have a wide value range. Also, remember to paint in thin layers so some of the underpainting remains.

# data[].attributes.body
If my background is black, can I use just black by itself when painting there?

# data[].attributes.body
That looks great. You may want to do a bit more with the background. You can do as many layers as you want with tempera, as long as it is completely dry. If it’s at all wet it will lift the first layer of paint.

# data[].attributes.body
Is this how the veradaccio is supposed to look? I’m not in love with it but I didn’t want to mess it up by painting over it and potentially cracking the paint

# data[].attributes.body
Excellent job with the portraits! I am excited to discuss these further with you once we begin your personal version of them!

# data[].attributes.body
Your assignment for this week is on BB. This one is pretty time consuming as a heads up. Try and get your portrait choice approved quickly so you can get started when you are ready. I have posted two new demo videos on Youtube but it will make more sense to look at the assignment on BB first.

# data[].attributes.body
It looks a bit skewed because the paper curled

# data[].attributes.body
Would we be able to use the crayon melting method for the artist portrait??

# data[].attributes.body
This week you will be doing a mastercopy of the self-portrait of the artist you will be doing your final self-portrait in. Use the paint we have made or acrylic/watercolor, etc and complete it on the Stonehenge paper. Make sure to do the transfer and include all of the elements of the original. Remember, this is not a portrait of you. It is of the artist.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow everyone! I am so impressed by these. You really did wonderful jobs. I have so much more faith in crayon as a viable medium!

# data[].attributes.body
I love the gold!

# data[].attributes.body
That's great!!

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, that is the idea. And remember after melting you can add more layers over it to get more colors!

# data[].attributes.body
I mean pink , sorry

# data[].attributes.body
So for example, to create pink, if I colored red and white together and then heated it, would those fuse and make white?

# data[].attributes.body
You can use additional colors in the background if you like but try sticking with the ones listed as those are what was available at the time of the Fayum Portraits.

# data[].attributes.body
Are we supposed to only be using those 7 colors you had listed on black board are we able to use any of the colors in our box? Like for example, crayons closer to the skin color or like pink since mine has pink clothing?

# data[].attributes.body
I finished it with crayon and then heated it in the oven but also added more detail once I took it out and did not reheat. Does that make sense?

# data[].attributes.body
Did you draw your portrait with crayon and then put it in the oven or did you heat it as you went?

# data[].attributes.body
This week you will do your charcoal transfer of the Fayum Portrait. If you have your gesso board, do the transfer on that. If not, you can use the Stonehenge paper. I did a trial myself and found that putting it in the oven at 250 for 5 minutes melted the crayon enough to begin melding the wax. I also found that you can go back over the melted crayon to add more layers. Just MAKE SURE to stay at the oven and watch so that you do not risk the paper burning. You will be able to smell the wax melting and that is usually about the time to take it out. This final piece is due Monday, November 2nd at 10 PM. Please let me know if you have questions!

# data[].attributes.body
Wow!! I am so impressed with your self portraits! These really look wonderful!

# data[].attributes.body
Stephanie, yes the documentary is the quick video. Feel free to turn your notes in here. I guess I did not add a submission option in the discussions tab!
