Final Project FALL TERM 2016 Due December 11, 12

Final Project: Fall Term 2016

DUE DECEMBER 11th & 12th (for respective classes)

MATERIALS:
 Use your FINEST 18 x 24 paper, if you want to use another type of surface, or break the drawing up into a different format, come talk with me.
 Use one of the medias that we have used during class, charcoal, pencil etc.

SUBJECT MATTER:
Find modern day objects to group into a still life that will represent an ancient or classical fairytale, myth or legend.

  You may:
Use photographs
feature pictures within pictures

   Please:
avoid copyright issues
Do not present unfinished work

This is your opportunity to really put some time into a drawing, making it sing but be conscious that there can also be a tendency to overwork a drawing. Make sure you are communicating the subject well, that you are maintaining contrast and objectivity.

Have FUN!

Homework Week 5

3 Sketchbook drawings 15 minutes each.
Draw what you want, but TRY to make them FINISHED drawings.
You can use whatever materials you wish.
If you have a hard time thinking of something that you WANT to draw, think of all of the excersizes or projects we have done in class e.g. collage, boxes, basic solids etc.
Try to stay on the drawing for 15 minutes without distractions, See how far you can get.
Also try to apply method to your drawing like Andrew Loomis' Five C's.

// Quotes About Comics

"Don't give up. Literally anyone can give up. Be the other person. But at the same time, step back and honestly assess who you are and what you're trying to accomplish and make sure you're doing that. And if not, change course, but don't stop."

"Comic books, television shows … whenever I saw something or read something that I thought was good,..."
// Quotes About Comics

"Comic books, television shows … whenever I saw something or read something that I thought was good, I tried to back up and figure out why I thought it was good. What was it that made this good? Everything was OK to me, because even the junk, I thought, was alright. But when something stood out, you went, 'Wait a minute, why is that good?'"

Eye Candy for Today: Samuel Palmer watercolor of cypress trees [feedly]

Eye Candy for Today: Samuel Palmer watercolor of cypress trees
// lines and colors

The Cypresses at the Villa d'Este, Tivoli, Samuel Palmer

Original is in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art, which has both a zoomable and downloadable file on their site. You can also find a zoomable version on the Google Art Project and a downloadable file on Wikimedia Commons.

You can see — particularly in the lower trunks — how he started with a pencil sketch, added watercolor to that and then highlighted the brighter tips of the foliage with gouache.

To me, the drawing seems particularly direct and contemplative. I can identify with the artist focusing on his subject, the rest of the world and its cares far far away.

Alexander Votsmush (Shumtov) [feedly]

Alexander Votsmush (Shumtov)
// lines and colors

Alexander Votsmush is a Crimean painter who works in watercolor. The name "Votsmush" is actually a pseudonym — a rearrangement of his actual name, "Shumtov" — that he adopted in his college days.

Votsmush has a unique and very appealing approach to his watercolors — part graphic, part paintlike, with skewed verticals and horizontals, or curves in their place — that that give his pieces a feeling of casual, lively structure and informal rendering.

Some of his pieces have a narrative feeling and may have been intended as illustrations, but I don't actually know.

Votsmush does not have a dedicated web presence, so you need to rely on articles in which others have posted his work. One of the best is a series of three articles on Asif R Naqvi's blog Living Design: "The wonderful world of watercolor maestro Alexander Votsmush (Part 1)", along with Part 2 and Part 3.

There is another article on Scribd, and a 2014 interview with Votsmush on Art of Watercolor.

The work of Alexander Votsmush will be on display at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA, in a solo show that opens today, October 8, and runs until October 23, 2016. There is a gallery of his work on their site.

[A note of caution: if you go searching for Votsmush paintings on sites other than the ones listed here, be wary — some of the ones I encountered, particularly with .ru domains, set off my anti-virus alarms.]

Cinderella Mix [feedly]

Cinderella Mix
// Deja View

A few pieces of art from the sixty-six year old Cinderella, a film whose success saved the Disney Studio.
The artwork above was done for a record album.You'd think that salmon pink as a base color might not look good, but it sure does here. The more obvious choice would have been a night blue.

A beautiful clean up drawing from an Eric Larson scene. Even if you had life action reference as a guide for the animation, this type of realism is VERY HARD to draw!!

A great Mary Blair piece. Two basic colors, blue and white with pink and yellow accents.

Even as black & white prints, still stunning.

I am not sure if this is her work as well, it might be by John Hench.

A cel from the Sweet Nightingale song sequence. A great example of reducing the complex human body to very simple, animatable forms.

Again, a very simple background, yet so effective. 

Actress Helene Stanley acts out a scene in which she is entering an imaginary coach that will take her to the ball. I don't know the name of the actress who plays the Fairy Godmother.
The following film still is from the same scene.

Some images Heritage Auctions.

Glaser’s Ghosts [feedly]

Glaser's Ghosts
// Print Magazine

When you Google "Dylan + Glaser" you will get pages of postage stamp-sized reproductions of his famous 1966 Bob Dylan poster that was folded into Dylan's "Greatest Hits" LP released by CBS Records. It was inspired by Marcel Duchamp's 1957 self portrait and the color palette found in Persian miniatures. Of the poster, Milton Glaser said: "The history of visual things in the world is my playpen."

Well, perhaps the Dylan poster is not as copied or mimicked as much as Glaser's I HEART logo, but it has been more than a playground for other artists and designers. It'd been an entire amusement park for designers and illustrators throughout the world—for decades and counting.

Why one image captures so much attention and retention is something of a mystery, particularly decades after its stylistic heyday, but there are images, like Robert Indiana's "LOVE," Grant Wood's "American Gothic" and most of René Magritte's images that have also triggered parodies, homages and dumb attempts a humor galore. Here are a few of the Glaser interpretations, including some featuring Glaser himself:

 

With thanks to Mirko Ilic for his fine eyes and sensitive nose in matters of tracking.
