Tonight we'll look at your revised sketches from last week, then begin working on developing a background for three small thumbnail sketches.
Remember that the background can be historically or scientifically accurate, have social significance, be a personal reference, pure fantasy, landscape, architecture, provide some kind of story/narrative, and more.
You'll develop three small sketches this week to submit for discussion next week.
two sketches for consideration for final project:
one sketch with related specimens or details based on Week 4 and 5 discussions and experiments
one sketch with landscape or background
you have two weeks to develop your 3rd sketch, which is the composition of your choice
from the Hortus sanitatis, pub. 1485
