As I was sick through the whole week of week 4 I’ll give you everything I learned while missing class.
This week we read Painting Today: the global scene, Western Traditions, and The Figure. As well as The Creative Copy PDF and watched John Berger’s Ways of seeing 1972 podcast. There was a Artist lecture posted of Hanneline Rogeberg.
We were supposed to practice the figure and ground, atmospheric perspective, painting skin, and working from a model. That was also the theory for the week. I not only missed the figure drawing portion of Monday but the critique of my creative copies for this week. I also missed the artist lecture of Rodrigo Valenzuela. I’m going to do the figure drawing Wednesday session week 6 instead.
I did manage to make it to seminar so that was nice and when I wrote my paper I was taking a lot of prescription meds, and it turned out, i made more connections with the readings of the week than I had initially made when I first read it. which just means I’ve made connections I didn’t know I had made. So that was my most surprising thing to learn this week. After a week off being sick and trying to heal my brain was still thinking about what I had read and was processing that information into something I didn’t even know I was thinking about. It gives me some ideas for my final project.
I’ll be posting the work I missed soon I just was too sick to even work on it and I’m still healing. It’ll be up by the end of Monday.
