Post all of your techniques

On your blog, make sure that you are taking pictures of your practice sheets and recording the techniques under the picture.  Name them.  For example, Waterfall....fan brush with acrylics.  Thanks.

Your assignment

Create a photo montage and post it to your blog.  You may use the drawing boards too for this assignment.  Try to think of something that really rocks your boat and makes you want to change things.  John Heartfield took a change....he did get kicked out of Germany.  

The power of persuasion

He did not want to examine difficult emotions or social problems.  Family Portrait is an example of the kind of art he liked.
Examine the portrait painted by Wolf Willrich, in 1939, and try to explain the iconography of the picture.
