Student Examples from LAST SEMESTER: https://goo.gl/uMSJqm

Please grab hold of a candy from the pile in the classroom. Eat the candy and then fold, crease, wrinkle the wrapper a few times and overlap a bit of it. Use a VIEWFINDER (provided) trace out the empty space on a page in your sketchbook (you’ll be drawing in that space later). Choose a PORTION of the folded candy bar image and, using the VIEWFINDERS (look at the new compositions and simplify it), and draw it out to the best of your ability (HB – Hard Pencil to start, colored pencil to finish). The ideas are all up to you. What are your thoughts about how you can draw this object?

Halfway through the week and MONDAY will be with us soon. I am PROUD of the accomplishments as a whole. You should be focused with a lot of alone time. What ONE BIG things worked out for you today? 

 

#Friday in #Studio means #MAKE ART! But casually – #bluejeans and #TShirts

 Art has no boundaries except those imposed by the needs of the maker. Boundaries are a form of definition, nothing more. They are a way to create a hierarchy of concerns, interests and priorities. Boundaries change all the time. That is part of what art does. By defining an area of interest or by stating a new priority, art allows us to create new definitions of ourselves and the context in which we operate. To blur a boundary is to confuse the definition. To move a boundary is to make a new definition. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School
