For centuries, artists have applied paint onto canvases, pieces of linen cloth stretched over frames. Some Asian artists traditionally paint on rice paper. Aborigine artists from Australia used tree bark.
Other than these materials, what could you use as a surface for a painting?

Visual Journal Assignment (Due: Friday 4/17 by midnight)
*This week's assignment will be a sketch that should take you 30-45 minutes to do.
Reflect on the New (temporary) Normal. What has changed in your day-to-day life since COVID-19 became "a thing"? Which changes have caused the greatest imposition(s)? Which changes have led to the most distress? Which changes, if any,
have been pleasantly surprising? Which changes have led to some relief of distress?
Note: If your response to the last question is “None!” then create some changes that
lead to stress relief; this might be new self-care and coping strategies you’ve employed.
Everyone has a different lense through which we experience events.
Most of you are feeling a wide range of emotions. I know this because you've expressed it in your writings to me.
You will base this sketch on a theme. Think of it like the Visuals Journals we did last semester.
These are not going to be finished products. Your sketch is just you trying to express how you interpret the theme.
You can use any material you have available. I know most of you don't have your supplies from school with you. Do the best you can with what you have!
Your sketch doesn't have to be "pretty," but you should work on your:
1. Concept (How is this related to the theme?)
2. Composition (Why this arrangement? Is this interesting to the viewer?)
3. Craftsmanship (Am I using light/shadow and layering?)
Your theme is: Joy
Think of this while sketching:
Who in my immediate present circle seems most in
need of joy? What may I do to increase their joy? What may I do to add to the joyfulness
of all others around me? How may I add joy to the lives of the people from whom I am
physically distanced at present?
