Oil Painting 101 - Figs, Lemons, Poblano Peppers...OH MY!!
Okay. Anyone that has painted with oils know it can be a little cumbersome and difficult to grasp at first. Oil paints are messy, they're stinky, you can't just wash it off your hands with water, oil paintings take forever to dry, and sometimes you just end up mixing mud (frustrating!!). Students in Art 3 started painting with oils today and check out the results (slideshow below). For most of the students, these were their FIRST oil paintings ever. Wow. I even made it MORE challenging for them in that 1) they had to stand and paint (no sitting!) 2) they had to use ONE flat brush and they only had about 45 minutes of class time to get the majority of the painting finished.

Join Flickr by FRIDAY!!!
1. Use the link on the right (below, right - under LINKS) to go to Flickr and choose "create an account". This is done through YAHOO. If you already have a YAHOO account, you don't have to make another one.
2. Once you create a Flickr account, create a recognizable name (i.e. MBrennan - not IHeartJustinBieber78).
3. Search for "Howard High School Art 3" in groups. This is an invite only group. People can see our discussion and images BUT they cannot comment.
4. Send a request to join the group. After I clear you as a member, post a message to the discussion I started. When you have your message posted, you will get the 25 points for the assignment.
Flickr is where you will be uploading images of your artwork for the year for critiques and feedback. It will often be how you "turn" artworks in. We'll be able to comment, create discussions, and leave feedback for each other. Many of you in photography already post on Flickr. Use the account you already have.
