Skin & Bones

So this week we started it off with a critique of independent study student work. It was a photographic series based on the injuries and allergies of one active young man! We also got a chance to discuss the details of our exhibition on Monday! The class has collectively decided on the name 'Skin & Bones' since we have both portraits and skeletons. Great name, I love it. I've been working on posters for this event (I've included 2 versions below). The first one was meant to give an older, life drawing 'masters' feel to it. I really like how it turned out and I think it's simple and to the point, but eye-catching. The second one is more contemporary, but I was just kind of messing around and having fun with type and imagery in Photoshop! As I said before in a previous post, this poster designing is always a welcomed obligation. It's also a nice break from the other reading homework that too often bores me. After posting both posters on facebook, searching for feedback, and talking to Amy, we've decided to print off the 'masters' one. I'm really pleased with that decision so look for us on December 17th from 4-9pm!

Life-Size Life Drawing

So the room is crazy! A little caotic. I'm also finding that this whole drawing, done well, will take a LOT longer than class time is going to provide. Ugh! Good thing I have gen eds this semester so I'm not as swamped with projects at the end here. I hope everyone else is coping well, balancing extra curriculars, other classes, and work on top of this massive drawing! Good luck.

We also began talking about a potential exhibition for our Life Drawing II class. We're thinking of hanging up the portraits and the life-size skeletons for people to look at while walking in and out of the applied arts for the Senior Shows on Friday, December 17th! I think that's such a great idea. Most often, all the drawings and hard work put into projects for classes goes relatively unnoticed or unrecognized in the end. And everyone loves a show! I've been a part of a few shows in my college career and had a blast doing each one!! It's so exciting to see your work professionally displayed for others to admire. I can't wait. I've offered to do the posters, but I think we'll just end up discussing this next week or another time in the future. We have a while and poster design is fun so it'll be a welcomed obligation. More updates to come on that!
