Homework:
Create an imaginary or memory landscape on a half sheet (if you have large paper) or a whole sheet, if you have small paper. Use as many different techniques as possible to convey space, color, light and form. Visit this link to see good examples of this type of painting. We will review your landscapes in class on Thursday.
