Art Class Overview





The top photo is the intro to drawing assignment....Draw Picasso upsidedown, and don't look at what you are drawing, looking mostly at the upside down pic. I couldn't help myself...I did not right side the drawing until the end, but I did look at my work a lot.

Natural forms for design class~ we brought them into class to draw. Very interesting, everybody makes a long walk to class from the g lot...and we walk by cmac. All along the path there are these low lying rose bushes with an abundance of hips. I was, "like wow, that is the perfect form to draw"...I want to theme the whole project roses..I am going to get some branches. Luckily, I was the only person to bring them in!

The point is to draw a lot of natural plants, forms, etc. And beef up the contrast in our drawings, to make them stand out. the we will arrange the sketches onto thumbnails and then the final project will be I think 11 X 14. I said to the professor...What is the goal? stylized or a pattern like your shirt? He said, " yeah, something like my shirt." he was wearing a printed shirt with leaves...it had a "design" pattern! Eureka! I am in design class! Now I get it!

My favorite! The wire sculpture! It is a biomorphic form---with the elements incorporated--that my professor suggested.---suggestive of a fish, but some see dolphin or bee. click on photos to see them up close.
