Another summer drawing session begins today. It'll be fun to see everyone eager to spend the next six weeks immersed in the creative process of looking, drawing, thinking, seeing, experimenting, sketching, talking, considering, empathizing. As in past semesters, we will explore the process of creating a series of images. There's lots of reference to that process in past posts on this blog, and examples of some series highlights, such as the ones below.
Alex Kennedy's Madonna and Child image that led to the beautiful exhibition that is currently in the Barr Gallery. If you haven't checked our the current graduating BFA senior exhibition, do so before it closes.
Danny Palafox's magnifications of nuts and bolts were beautifully done drawings, rich in texture and color.
Louise Clausen's figures in water was a two semester exploration that eventually led her to new ways of considering the drawing process where she combined liquid and dry media.
Greg Truesdel's series was close-up examinations of bugs. Greg's is also currently exhibiting a series of 'Circus Posters' he created for his BFA thesis, complete with a circus tent he constructed for the installation. Very dramatic. Go check it out.
Aberlyn May's series of three portraits were connected into an alteresque type triptych that explored familial connections and identity.
It's exciting anticipating the new work that will be created during this first summer session. Several new series, all allowing us to see things a little differently, to think differently about what we see, and to find out something new about the artists and their process.
See you soon.
