Famous Artists Exercise
Homework due: Thursday, October 25
Please look at the work of the following artists online:
Francisco Goya
Kathe Kollwitz
Honoré Daumier
George Bellows
George Seurat
Dewitt Hardy
Choose two artists, and find for each one a work of art that is a really strong example of the use of a wide range of values. (Values are those steps between white and black or between light and dark that you have been using in your still life collages.)
Print copies of the two images you have chosen, trim the excess paper from them, and glue them into your sketchbook. Be sure to include the title, artist, and date of the works chosen. (You can do this manually or in a Word document.)
Pick one of these images, and copy it, using similar marks and range of value.
