DIRECTIONS:
Each group of four students will
be given a bag of white powdered donuts. As a group, you will decide how to
arrange them into a still-life setup. Then you will each paint them onto your
canvas.
You are encouraged to play with
color, texture and composition (i.e. placement of the objects) as much as
possible.
At the same time, however, your
primary objective is to USE TONE to make the doughnuts look THREE-DIMENSIONAL,
as we have practiced throughout the semester. Remember to think of the
doughnuts as TIRES (as demonstrated in class), with a distinct top and/or
bottom plane and side plans. Also remember to demonstrate in your painting that
all the doughnuts are the SAME SIZE.
GRADE WILL BE BASED ON:
Three-dimensional appearance of
objects
Creative use of color, texture
and/or composition
Effort spent on project
Attention to detail
