Gradient Assignment #1

The first assignment we will be using latex paint (house paint) and cardboard.

You will need a quart of white and a quart of black in a flat finish. (please no semi-gloss, eggshell, high-gloss etc.) You will also need a piece of cardboard at least 24 x24, it doesn’t have to be perfectly square it can be shaped and have holes or pieces missing just make sure the working area is at least 24x24.

We are going to be  gridding the cardboard and then we will create hard edge gradients as well as blended gradients from white to black with at least 4 colors in between. Not every gradient must contain all 6 colors but some must. You are required to make an interesting composition while fulfilling the gradient section of the assignment.(Size, shape, overlap. varying line weights, etc.) 

You may use tape on this project to achieve straight lines.

This painting is due January 25th. All materials for this project must be brought with you to class Thursday (18th), show up ready to work!

Think geometric hard lines!
