Purpose of Assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is to have students interpret this year’s theme for the VAPA department concert, “A Night at the Movies” in a painting using acrylic paint on canvas board. They reflect on movies or movie themes that are important to them and design an original composition, perhaps combining images with a collage attitude. Students explore this new medium, acrylic paint, and its characteristics as they mix new colors and apply it to the canvas.
