Visual Art Project:
During the winter quarter, students in this project group will participate
in the following activities. The group will
meet each Wednesday (10 - 12) at the Drawing Studio in the Arts Annex
for critique sessions.
Select and adopt as your master whose works you will likely see in museums
in France and Italy and whose works
manifest classical legacy. Hiro will offer recommendations.
(You need to decide by Wednesday of the second
week.)
1) Conduct research on your master, and write
an analytical paper, a short biography, indepth stylistic analysis
of the
master's representative
works and a paragraph or two on how the works manifest classical legacy.
3 - 4
typed pages
due on Wednesday of
the 4th week.
2) Select 3 images, and do a series of studies
(drawings) on each. Begin this as soon as you decide on the
master, and
plan to show them
during the weekly critique sessions.
3) Do your own work based on the style of the
master, minimum of two pieces in any medium.
Select a subject
for your work that is compatible with demonstrating your grasp of the works
of the master:
figures,
landscapes,
still-life, etc. The first of the two pieces must be completed by
Wednesday of the 6th week, and
the
second piece
by Wednesday of the 10th week. Class exhibition will be held on Thursday
of the 10th week.
