Homework for Period Four!

This homework assignment is due next Friday, October 31st. Please bring it in either handwritten on a blank sheet of paper, or typed.

You can find the color schemes we discussed in class
everywhere around you. In class, at home, downtown, and around
your neighborhood. For this homework assignment, refer back to
your definitions of the six different color schemes
(Monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic, warm color
dominance, and cool color dominance), and see if you can spot
one in your daily life. When you find a specific color scheme,
write down the different colors you see and explain why it
fits that scheme. If you happen to have a camera at the time,
be sure to get a snapshot!

Guest Artist- Josh Rickards

Monday Sept. 29th we were fortunate enough to have painter Josh Rickards come speak to us about his work. He is the first in a series of young artists who will be visiting room 122.

Josh shared with us stories about his youth growing up in Florida through working with artist collective Team Lump, how he found his way to Philadelphia, Vox Populi and how all of this has influenced his artworks. Students had an oppurtunity to view slides of his artwork and ask questions. Thanks so much for spending your time with us in 122 Josh!
