#90 “You can condense, but you cannot simplify.” —Ann Lauterbach, personal conversation: The world is infinitely complex, and any attempt to simplify, which means the elimination of contradictory elements, will fail to capture that complexity. One can, however, attempt to compress or condense those elements into a more abbreviated or altered form. That is the role of metaphor. Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School

AP STUDIO ART: Crit – Figure Drawing then the Concentration AGAIN!

 

On your GALLERY Images: “Title,” Your Name, Height” x Width”, Medium, Year. DO THIS NOW so it is EASIER in May. I am disappointed that Friday came and went and some are NOT done. Zero’s are SET, you can earn points again later…
