Agenda for the day:
Discuss how consumerism affects nature/environment
Demo-"Charcoal Tips/Techniques"
Create a still life (in charcoal) based on 3-4 objects that relate to your own consumption (the more the significant the items are, the more personal and relevant the art work will be)
Research the history of Environmental Art
Homework:Develop sketchbook illustrations based on consumerism that are inspired by Kate Bingaman-Burt
We enjoyed looking at some google images about midway through our charcoal art making:
