Graphics Galore
An Ever-Growing Compilation of Galleries on the Web
To students class V from Mrs. Swayze, March 4, 1997
In anticipation of your visit to the National Gallery of Art, please search the National Gallery website for information about a painting that you will see there: The Website should tell you where the American Paintings are located. Three paintings that you might look up are:
Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley
Breezing Up by Winslow Homer
The Biglin Brothers Racing by Thomas Eakins
Find out as much information as you can from the web and while in Washington visit the painting in person. Draw a little sketch of the painting while you are standing in front of it. Note the composition.
While there at the National Gallery find another painting that interests you. Draw it, describe it, say who the artist is and your impression of the painting. Do this yourself, do not all do the SAME painting.
Visit two other exhibits while there: The Victorians (definitely) and Alexander Calder Sculpture (if time, in East bldg.)
