Chiaroscuro & Caravaggio

Caravaggio.com is a great resource for looking at this Italian masters painting. There is a great deal of information and it even arranges his artworks by dimension, location, subject, details and exhibitions.

Review the website and create a small study (small sketch) of one Caravaggio painting that stands out to you. Tell me why you chose this piece and include a small description of the painting; identifying the elements of art and principles of design. Make sure to read the footnotes on each piece, include any interesting facts you have found and your own reactions/ interpretations.

Peep this.

Scott Avett HW

I first heard the Avett Brothers music while driving to lunch with my cousin Kevin. Shortly after that we went to see them play in Perkasie PA in a 100+ year old Theatre. It was among the top 3 best shows I have ever been to. Sometime later I discovered that one of the Avett Brothers (Scott) was an artist, and an exceptional one at that. Here are some links to his work with the mediums of painting, printing and also his musical works with The Avett Brothers.
