#13 Each generation gets to reinvent art in its own image. Because art is an act of description, it is inevitable that what it describes will reflect every generation’s bias of the moment. It is not a strict reflection of a time but an interpretation rendered in a language that is always in a state of transformation. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Mark Tansey (NYTimes Article) is the artist we are going to be looking at and his MONOCHROMATIC works are the impetus for the work. 1/2 week monochromatic drawing based on the work of Mark Tansey – Spin the wheel of adjectives, prepositions and nouns to come up with 10 working titles, build an art historical referenced collage that is referenced from the title and work a small pencil drawing with a monochromatic watercolor wash as a the background. Study the techniques, process and rationale of Mark Tansey. Drawing, painting, pastel, your choice in mediums, techniques, approaches. Collage and Additional Work are final products.
Illustration board and watercolor demo – wash a THIN COLOR over the top, pencil / paint / marker – their choice for the work over the top. Decide upon the social topic and imagery that one might use. Spin the wheel for a title and see how one can make that work as an impetus for the work (3 spins – 1 final title – one can assemble the different spins to come up with the best title).
From your research today, what are your social topic ideas? How are you seeing yourself as a changer in the world through the arts?
