Course work: Continued work on the torn-paper collage. I found some of my paper too thick to tear evenly, and had to use scissors. I also had to paint some paper to produce my background. Although some of the colors I used are pretty startling, the tones are about right (see mono-chrome version below.)

If I were to do a similar process in the future, I would (1) work on a larger scale (finished size is only about 23 x 35 cm), (2) collect a larger supply of materials before starting, (3) plan my background early and put it on first…I converted this from an indoor pose only near the end of the process. I think that this was a worthwhile experience, although it is quite a time-consuming one.
Did four thirty-second gestures. (I wonder how many thousand it would take to achieve competency?)
Started work on Assignment 5, Option Two, with the first of the “quick studies,” a ten-minute standing pose.
