August 19th, 2008 by aukirsch

Well after watching the video, what technique is your favorite? Why? I really like to use the smudge technique. It makes great values and creates a soft look to areas. Do you believe knowing different techniques will add to your artistic skill? I know it will. Practice, practice, practice!

Icon Art, What is your Icon?

August 14th, 2008 by aukirsch

I am seeing great ideas and designs for your upcoming Stained Glass unit. Remember to keep your designs simple, no shading or texture… color book style. You need to write your meaning behind your icon on the back of your sketch so you are able to talk about your art later. We will be starting the unit with marker as the material / medium.
