Homework: Show and Paint. Gather objects you want to paint and bring to class on 9/6 and 9/11 for an observational painting exercise. The objects should be small enough to fit on your desk space, but not so small that you must squint for details. They also shouldn’t be so large that they invade your neighbor’s desk space. Look for a variety of textures. I prefer children’s toys because there are stuffed animals, brightly colored plastic objects, shiny metal objects, and they range in size.
