Class12_Homework_September 27th

Dear Students
Next week is midterm. 

Sincerely,
Professor Urrutia

HOMEWORK
The following things are listed in the order that they should be accomplished:
Silhouette Form - Now that you have [2] 11"x16" slabs that are leather hard, you are ready to use a silhouette to cut out [2] images that are as close to 11"x16" as possible. Be sure to choose the most compelling silhouette you have collected. Once you have done this, make sure you keep these two slabs leather hard for the next step.

Final Project Research - In preparation for creating [2] final forms, conduct research for the ideas you are pursuing. Depending on the theme you have chosen, your research will lead in various directions. Please bring in at least [3] different articles that relate to how you are thinking about the topic you have chosen. That is, [3] for each piece you plan to make for a total of [6]. Some of the topics on the sheet already imply what you should be collecting. For instance, if you choose to go with the ritual object, you probably want to know more about rituals in general, what they are, who created them and who participate with them. If you make work for the illustrated story, you will need to have an article about the song, poem, and/or story that will inspire the work, including the song, poem, and/or story itself. If you have questions, be sure to text me.


MIDTERM - LIST OF WORK THAT WILL BE EVALUATED
If you have been keeping up with your assignments you will have very little to prepare for the midterm

1. Pinch pots - you will have [3] small and [1] large. These should all be finished, cleaned up with a scotch brite pad and completely dried.
2. Carve Out - This work is completely finished with at least [3] textures [smooth is not a texture that will count] as part of the final design. There should be large hanging holes in the back of the work. These holes should be made in a consistent manner as I demonstrated in class.
3. Biomorphic Form - this form should be completely constructed and refined so the entire surface is smooth and leather hard. Please be sure this form remains leather hard as there is still much to do with it in the near future.
1. Biomorphic Image- you will have at least 3 digital images that you are considering for projecting onto the surface of this form. These images should be uploaded to this folder [click link]. 
4. Insect Arthropoda - The body of this form should be completely put together by this Thursday, October 4th in time for the midterm
5. Silhouette Form - Two parts of this form should be cut out and leather hard. This work will need to be kept leather hard. Here is a video about what we are doing. The beginning shows you how to apply and cut out the image. Ignore what it says about how big it should be. You know that it needs to be as close to 11"x 16" as possible! Making it larger will make it a better surface for transferring images onto.
1. Silhouette Image - you will have at least 3 digital images of silhouettes that you are considering for making this project. These images should be uploaded to this folder [click link].
6. Sketchbook Binder - The contents of this binder will need to be uploaded [scanned] digitally and converted into a single PDF. This is the naming convention you will use:   MIDTERM_skbndr_FirstNameLastInitial.pdf
