Homework:
1. Create 3 value studies of existing book covers – about 3”x5” each
Note! Be sure to bring the books with you to the next class!
2. Finish value scales and practice drawing motor skills
3. Words About Pictures by Perry Nodelman –
a. Chapter 2: Format, design, visual features
b. Chapter 5: Visual weight and directed tension: The relationship of visual elements
to each other
4. Bring in a book for LOOK AT BOOKS: How are the elements of design leading your eye around the page? How does the artist’s choice of format, size, framing or full-bleed illustrations give the viewer different experiences?
5. Start collecting color swatches of colors that appeal to you. Keep them in a small box or folder.
6. Start collecting shoe boxes or small cardboard containers that can be destroyed.
NOTE:
For your Student Presentations on the last day of class, you will present a book of your choice (one we have not discussed in class). You will discuss its design and employ Nodelman, Kidd or Bang to support or challenge your points. You may also quote from other sources. Titles will be due next Wednesday, so that we keep them out of class discussions. (Some titles will not be available as they are already scheduled for class discussions.)
