Once Again… What is the common thread that is connecting your different pieces in your body of work together?
What is ONE thing you need to do to finish up your website? What is REQUIRED on the EXAM? Do you know?
#28: An idea is only as good as its execution. It is important that you master your medium. Poorly made work will either ruin a good idea or make the lamentable execution itself the subject. Overly finessed technique can mask a lack of content or can smother an image. At the same time, roughness and imprecision has its place in rendering. One can only gauge the need to throw technique away if one has first achieved the mastery of it. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

#17 Drawing is About Mark Making
“Every mark has a distinct character and quality.Every mark is a signature. Variations in pressure and weight is the visual equivalent of intonation. Marks, or lines, of consistent weight or thickness surrounding a figure or object will flatten the image. Tapering or breaking a line in a curve can connote a highlight or make the curve flow. Also, a tentative line will read as such. Give every mark or line authority and make sure it serves a purpose. Try to use only the marks you need.” 101 Things Learned in Art School, Kit White, 2011, MIT Press
Welcome to National Arts and Humanities Month! Today – VISUAL ARTS!
While it is UNCERTAIN where we are exactly in the process of making art at this point, please take a sticky note (or two or three) and place it next to your work – hopefully we are in an unfinished state. Take time and WALK AROUND the studio and comment on your classmates work – complete sentences – and give them the feedback that you would like to receive as a learning artist. Stick these stickers in your folder RIGHT THERE.
