Guidelines For Art Cafe: Select ONE of the artists from the list below and find 4 drawings by this artist on the Internet.
For each of your selections include: artist, medium, size, year, and cite the source (museum link) of where you found the artworks.
Then describe each drawing applying as many of the concepts and techniques from this course as you can.
Use some of the concepts from class to describe each one, for example, describe the negative spaces and how they are working in each one, or point out the eye levels or how many values. See the list of Art Vocabulary for Art Café in the Course Resources/Tips link to refresh your memory on concepts and terms from the course to apply to your Art Café. Also see good examples of Art Café done by prior students, also in Course Resources.
Be sure to choose DRAWINGS!! (or etchings) but NOT paintings as your art examples. Search only museum, gallery or auction sites for artwork so you can verify the drawing is actually by your artist.
You may post directly into the Discussion Board or attach a document, Be sure to label it with your last name. Include images directly in the DB or document.
Be sure to add two comments to others! This is an important part of the assignment.
Make sure everyone in class has at least one response.
