In this assignment, you will select one landscape and handle it three ways.
1. as an imitationalist: focusing on depth and realism.
2. as a formalist: focusing on the principals of art and composition. (It doesn't matter what is portrayed but how it is portrayed aesthetically)
3. as an emotionalist: attribute a mood to the landscape and exaggerate the forms/style to convey that emotion.
Present as a triptych.
Self evaluation:
Describe your approach on all three.
Which of these three felt the most natural to you stylistically?
If you had it to do again, what would you do differently?
