Art II Nov 17

We are starting a unit on pastel drawing.  Students need only a basic set of pastels they can be oil or dry pastels, a basic sketchbook, pencil (preferably soft charcoal), and a kneaded eraser.

Today we will do some simple projects to understand the properties of the pastel medeium. Basic shapes with blending etc.

I apologize that I was not able to get the information out before this, so if any students are not prepared for pastel art they may continue in watercolor for the time being.

OUR INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." Proverbs 12:1. NIV. A good artist needs the self discipline to work his craft every day. So also we need self discipline in our lives. There is the discipline that comes from the teacher or master or God we must know that we need that kind of discipline to develop and mature. If we are resentful when someone attempts to correct us we are making a foolish choice.
