My wonderful professor Annette has taken a leave of absence as her little baby boy isn't doing too well. Our sub, Prof. Frank Holiday has most definitely caught my attention.
1. Design a composition that combines a found contemporary or historical pattern with an image of a portrait, landscape or object.
2. The combination of image and pattern should express a narrative, or make a political or social comment.
3. Take an original photo for your image subject. Photograph or scan the pattern.
4. Develop a sketches of your composition ideas. You may work from drawings and seprate reference photos or you may create a design in illustrator or photo shop. Be prepared to draw on canvas during class. You may free hand, grid, or trace/ transfer the composition.
5. Write a 2 -3 page paper examining the painting. Discuss the historical context of the original pattern, as well as the formal elements of the pattern. Discuss the image choice and the meaning behind your juxtaposition.
6. FYI: It is suggested that final piece will be 18 x 24 in or 20 x 30 in. It is suggested to use acrylic on canvas. If you have another size, paint or surface in mind check-in with your idea.
