Course work: (Did some thinking about the current and next exercises, but no actual work.)
Reading:
Rose-Marie & Ranier Hagen What Great Paintings Say (Vol. 3)
Taschen, Köln, 2005
Pp 162-167, 174-179, 192-197
(I enjoyed this series, which skillfully correlates history with art history. I do regret the duplication of significant content from volumes I and II in volume III.)
Personal sketchbook work: A terracotta pencil sketch of a cap, casually thrown onto a table.
Weekly reflections on learning experience: Much of the week’s effort has been devoted to trees. Some of my more-recent efforts are appreciably improved over those done two months ago, early in the work on this assignment. Some of my recent sketchbook work has been aimed at deciding which option of Assignment 5 I wish to pursue: each option has its attractive and unattractive features. (I have almost certainly ruled out the Landscape option…with daytime high temperatures expected in the 34-40° C range for the next several months, it is just too uncomfortable to draw outside for more than brief periods.)
Total time: 54 minutes
