Creating a new world in Photoshop
Designing for the Web
Now that you have completed your research on Surrealism and are familiar with Photoshop, it is time for you to create your own unique work of art. Your artwork could make a statement about a global issue or you could focus on something more personal. Some students in the past have created light-hearted works of art and others delve into more somber issues...it is totally up to you. We will be animating this photoshop image in Flash so think about ways you will add movement and sound in the future. The images you see below all include the artist...you can be in your art as well.
Please read the Surrealistic Lesson Document for more details on the assignment.

Works in Progress
"small objects LARGE DRAWING" project is almost complete. Here are a few charcoal drawings in progress. I am very excited to watch the objects come to life on the large paper. Great job!
Artist Tom Levy
Advanced Drawing and Painting
I came across Tom Levy's website when searching for examples of still-lifes that have a white color scheme. I found his work incredibly creative. Some paintings are very personal, telling his story and the view of the world and others are classical still-lifes. Take a look at his website and find the style of artwork you are most intrigued by and write about it in you sketch book. Describe the artwork and why you like it.

Study of Values and Ellipses
Intro to Drawing and Painting
Here are some examples of the stunning charcoal drawings created by the Intro to Drawing and Painting Class. Although the students were all drawing the same objects the way they handle the medium varies from student to student. They all make their marks in a very distinct manner. I am thrilled to have such a diverse group of talented students.
