Notes and sketches will be submitted as part of their processfolios. Thoughts, random ideas, brainstorming, mind maps, and free association can all be explored as possible methods of generating ideas. These can be discussed in class. Hand out the copies of the assignment. You should have a good reason for your choice of landscape and for your approach.
All paintings are to be figurative as opposed to abstract.
Students must begin by planning their paintings by generating ideas. Students will be given their canvases on an individual basis by you, the teacher, once you have approved their plan. Students should be periodically reminded that they are not bound to their plan. Their work will inevitably evolve as they start painting it. They will find this out for themselves, and will need to be encouraged to modify their plans as they work.
