Found this Composition Video while looking up etching. It definitely applies here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shawn, for connecting this to your comment, and for sharing it with all of us. Pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI guess chatting on Facebook is more productive than talking about art now. Maybe we need Facebook pages instead.
ReplyDeleteActually Shawn, I'm on Facebook quite a bit. I've got a lot of my reenacting friends there, plus family and friends from school here. Quite a few of my reenacting friends are artists as well. If you ever join the dark side ;) check out my friends list for some cool art from them. Cathy Johnson does nature drawings and has a blog space. Dennis (Doc) Muzzy does 18th century oils. And Beth Clark does period acrylic paintings. Djuana Tucker makes 18th century quill works. Jay Henderson and Lisa Jo Crews specialize in 18th century pottery reproductions. Heck! And a lot more do art work too. Even one of the kids, Kristina Su Zarley loves to draw and is quite good. The quality depends on who you friend there. :) Admittedly, a lot there is light hearted, but, I know who to go to from my list if I need help with a project too.
ReplyDeleteI rarely see anything about art on Facebook. It's just a time-waster. You can keep it.
ReplyDeleteI dunno... LOL Actually, I just subscribed to another person's blog via Facebook that does oils of 18th century scenes. His name is Mark Selter. www.markselter.com And I'm talking to Doc Muzzy right now about how I'll finish my gun. I still say it's all in who you friend and if you have common interests. It can be a good networking source.
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty much supporting my point right now. I don't want to read 50 messages from all those people. I don't have time. This topic is about Composition and we are debating Facebook. Enough about Facebook. I never should have mentioned it. Nothing here is useful to the drawing class. Well, it might make Brian roll his eyes and shake his head at our taking over the topic. Seems like newer students are just too shy put their thoughts on these blogs. I know they lurk and read, but rarely join in.
ReplyDeleteActually, we don't want to go back to the 18th century, we want the 21st Century. We want our students to connect to their context of contemporary art, which is the 21st century. The aesthetic is much different today than it was then, narrative, figuration, and media have advanced soooo much that to go back two centuries would be a disservice to our students and to ourselves as faculty. Lets get connected to today. Why are artists expressing about our culture and what is it that their expressing about?
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE PLZ WHAT IS THE PRIME(MAJOR)ART OBJECTIVE IN ANY OF THE TIMES? I ALWAYS ASK
ReplyDeleteTHAT MY SELF AS AN ART LOVER.
