Emotion Sketches:
due Jan 26

Create a series of 7 digital drawings suggesting emotional states using either of the following techniques: digital drawing with stylus or traditional drawing scanned into digital space, or any combination thereof.

Other Examples:
Mohammad J Alfarouqi
Jeffrey Sult
Jimmy Kane
kirsten Lopez-Palmer
Steve Hall

Consider basic emotions or characteristics: i.e.- Joy, Jealousy, Anger, Love, Sadness, Depression, Happy, Peace, Fear, Sickness, Masculine, Feminine, and etc. As you work on one at a time, take the characteristic/emotion into mind, and try to remember what that specific thing feels like.
Just let the pencil go where you feel it should as you progress. Let your feelings and intuitions guide you. The main ideas of the exercise: to LET GO of preconceived notions! It helps to stimulate your creativity!
You cannot use literal symbols or pictures: no intentional tornadoes, hearts, clouds, fluffy bunnies, etc.

Print your best 7 drawings on the Phaser laser printer

Gesture Drawings
due Feb 2

Reading : Gesture Drawing and create a short reading reaction paper

Project: 7 finished gesture drawings printed on 11” x 17” phaser laser cardstock

We will work with a live model in studio for digital life drawing gesture studies. We will also work from objects and the landscape.

“digital action” drawings in action of World-renowned dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones with Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar http://www.cooper.edu/art/ghostcatching/

…………………………………………………………

We will conduct a series of modeling sessions in studio to help develop these skills further:

8 - 30 second poses = 240 seconds (4 minutes)

8 – 60 second poses = 480 seconds (8 minutes)

4 – 3 minute poses = 720 seconds (12 minutes)

3 - 5 minute poses = 900 seconds (15 minutes)

We will have a series of 4 landscape studies = 2 at 30 seconds, 2 at 3 minutes; 60 + 360 seconds (7 minutes)

And 4 object sketches = 2 at 30 seconds, 2 at 3 minutes; 60 + 360 seconds (7 minutes)

Pick your best 7 and print them on the Phaser printer paper 11” x 17”
