Alternative Self Portraits
The next out-of-class project has been assigned and everyone is well on their way to having a new "best effort" for our November 5 critique. Some examples of this project from last spring can be found by going back to April 8, 2009 to the "Hidden Places" post. In fact there are a few of those shooting into the purse images that are also subjects this go-around. I know there was some frustration with the previous project because there was so much of the same thing (i.e., popcorn, grapes, goldfish, sunflower seeds, etc.), but this time I expect you'll enjoy the process more since you are doing more self-exploration with the images. The critique will be more engaging as well since there will have to be some discussion about "who" we are in those drawings. Hope they're going well, there are ten more days for this self exploration, make the quality of time good.

I've learned I'm a complicated person from doing this project. And that I may have a tendency to take on too much. But I believe in finishing what I start, some call it perseverance, but really I just don't like to give up and have to admit I was wrong. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am also quite complicated! I could not fit all into my drawing. I really loved doing this piece and I have even recieved offers of purchasing it! (wow! really?) I wonder if they are serious? LOL
ReplyDeleteDon't sell your work until after final portfolios, and then if you do sell it, make sure you have the option to borrow it back since you'll need to have it for your 200 level review. That review happens after the foundations and three 200 level classes are completed.
ReplyDeleteOkie dokie-I probably won't sell until after college anyhow-LOL
