I really like this cover design by P. J. Crook. She did almost all the album covers for a band I really like called King Crimson. Which one will you pick to study? There are so many great choices. All you need to do is an image search for great album or CD cover art!

Another CD cover art example to inspire your homework… you will be designing your own Cover art when you get back from Thanksgiving break.

This week I would like you to do a copy of one of your favorite CD covers or game covers.

These are a couple of new paintings I’m working on in my studio in Talty this afternoon!

Some of my most talented former students now work as interior designers and painters too!

I hope you can find a way to have fun with your homework assignments…..you never know where your talents can take you!

One more inspiration for your homework for this week…one of my all time favorite painters, Kandinsky painted a corner of his house. We will be exploring color the rest of this semester…this one inspires me!

Some more of Kandinsky’s later work:

Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles….two corners and two chairs!

Have fun with your homework and have a great weekend!

Remember I would like you to do these from real life and not a photograph.

Also remember to use a format….Put your drawing inside a rectangle or square at least 5″x5″ please!

This week I would like you to draw a corner of a room from life. Show me what you know about perspective!

Please use a format and make it at least 5″x5″!

A short video on the basics of two point perspective…once you know the theory you can draw what you see without using the formal vanishing points.
