DNAC Update: January 15, 2011

Projects:
Coloring - * print-outs for mural #1
Coloring - sectional background for mural #1
Composition for mural # 2

Students were issued with large-scale print-outs of mural # 1 and asked to create their own color schemes. At a brief jury, students were given the opportunity to select what in their collective opinions constituted "good" coloring of features of the artwork. The exercise was a good determinant of what the color scheme may look like, and a basis for the "sectional" (trial) paintings next week.

To practice painting techniques towards the final mural, group #1 was supervised by Odette to paint the background for a section of the artwork. The main techniques were 'Brush Handling','Grid Application' and 'Color Blending'. Group #2 was supervised by Joye to 'kick-start' the second mural with fantastic ideas from our students Nicholas and Ayanna as the main features.

The mural project is coming along great! As you can see from the photos, our team is incredibly talented, which will guarantee beautiful end results. We're all so excited about the progress we're making!
