Capitol Conference Art Exhibition – UW – Madison / Pyle Center AND 50 Sheets of Paper – WUHS

Capitol Conference Art Exhibition – UW Madison / Pyle Center

50 Sheets of Paper – Click HERE to see the Album.

These drawings were created by the Advanced Drawing class with two stipulations, they needed to base their drawing on a sense of observation and they needed to use 50 sheets of paper. The rest was up to them. Our artists chose from a wide range of topics and ideas – all personal to them. Using direct observation, symbolism, and abstraction, our artists have created a wide variety of images all at various skill levels and approaches for you to enjoy.

Joslin Stern's "“And she can laugh!” he said with wrath" from the 50 Sheets of Paper Assignment. Advanced Drawing - 2017.

#ThankGoodness it’s #Friday

#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
