The Periodic Table of Doctor Who

So I've had my fair share of homework this week. So far it consists of:
Finding 25 examples of the color red
Research which colors Rembrandt used in his palette, record the names, and show examples
Define the following words with illustrations: hue, tone, tint, shade, value, intensity, opaque, transparent
Trace templates onto canvas paper
Draw a 3 hour still life on 18x24'' paper
Begin sketching a copy of something by either de Vinci or Rembrandt
Read chapters 1 & 4 in Guide to Drawing
Pick two examples of 2D art I appreciate
Define 3 terms out of the list given
Read chapter 1 in Art Fundamentals
Begin making lists and sketches for Periodic Table project
Answer questions about Migrant Mother
Read text about Migrant Mother

I haven't finished all of it, but I'm pretty darn close.
The Periodic Table project is pretty cool. We pick any topic we want(I've picked Doctor Who) and make 25 square grids in a periodic table using only black, white, and shades of gray. The catch is, they all have to be in different media. So you can't for instants use acrylic twice, the second one has to have some other medium used as well to make it different. So acrylic with pen, or marker, whatever. It'll be cool.

I got to take a nap today, which was nice. I even had a dream. That I owned a bunny. I really wish I owned a bunny.


Here's one of the things I did today. We just played with materials in class.
Just playing with the material. Done with ink wash and then drawings in pen.
