Started class with a slideshow on the topics of Illusion and Depth perception in artist's paintings ranging from constructivism to cubism. Many of us haven't looked into these painting styles much, but it made for a cool project after the first hour was up.
We were split into three studio groups. I have Professor Efrat "Efi" Nizan. Seemingly Israeli, not loud, and pretty... thorough on topics. Oh! And she likes to give a lot of work.
It's all about the process, not just the final project.We were given 10 choices for paintings that we would then convert into three-dimensional sculpture. While our professor was setting up the display, I took a moment to lighten the mood.
"Choose Wisely...
You have chosen... GRYFFINDOR!"
(got a couple laughs for this.)
I had been dwelling on the idea since we first started to discuss it, so it was no surprise that I had a very interesting sculpture to show after five minutes of play time.
Professor Nizan was pretty... impressed by the work. (Picture to follow).
I quickly took the chance to poke fun at my studio mate- who in the previous semester brought a flashlight to show his created spaces during the first major presentation- I whipped out my phone, turned on the flashlight and WHAM! Got a few giggles.
Class was over sooner than expected by my stomach, whom had been growling since I got there.
Homework was to make three models with only 1 sheet per model. Another model was to be made with 2 sheets. A researched presentation on the artist for our painting.
