Beginning Painting: new project - Full Color Still Life

Beginning Painting

We are starting the full color still life project (Due: 10-27-2014)

The still life has a long tradition in art. It is an especially useful tool in honing ones observational skills and for long, controlled study of an object or objects. In this project we will address a number of goals and challenges.

Goals addressed in this project:
-Accurate Color mixing and matching to objects in Still Life.
-Laying out an interesting Composition
-Use of Layering and Glazing
-Awareness of Illusion (Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation)
-Great understanding of working process of a longer painting.
-Expand on your experience with the previous project and deal with transparent, reflective and other interesting surfaces.

submit your work to the 1147 journal @ TCU

http://www.1147.tcu.edu/submit.html

About Us

Who we are:

eleven40seven is TCU’s student-run, undergraduate journal of the arts. Originally started by the Bryson Literary Society in 2005, the journal now operates independently, run by an undergraduate staff and one faculty advisor. Together, we work to publish the journal biannually.

What we believe:

The journal has always aimed to present a student perspective that differs drastically from mainstream campus culture, promoting TCU’s artistic and creative endeavors. Our desire to be different, to be unexpected, is an important part of our history and identity. Our name became eleven40seven. Our mission became to showcase the different, the new, the meaningful in the work generated by our fellow students.

Why call ourselves eleven40seven:

When deciding on a name for the journal, some of the founders originally planned a brainstorming session for noon. However, in the spirit of individuality, the other founders argued that the meeting should take place at 11:47 a.m. instead. Though the brainstorming itself produced no lasting results, the meeting time stuck. When the first issue came out in Spring 2005, it was that meeting time, that first statement of our distinct identity, that sprawled across the cover.

Why we exist:

Today, eleven40seven is a highly respected publication, and though our acquisitions process is competitive, we have remained accessible to all students, offering them a place to display their own creative work and a place to appreciate the work of their peers.
