HI & REMINDER
Welcome, it was great seeing you guys at HSA this morning! So, we've got the first day of class under our belts, now for gathering those supplies...
As mentioned in class, this (by this I mean the blog) is the place to check out posts and find art that is inspiring, or at the least, challenges your working definition of art and practice. I'll be posting class reminders, links to artists and any sort of contemporary drawing/mixed media work that applies to us.
Check out artist Sarah Applebaum.

Feel free to scroll through posts from past semesters. There are many links to fabulous contemporary artists. See you in class.

INTERNATIONAL PRINT CENTER NEW YORK
"International Print Center New York announces the presentation of Wallworks: Contemporary Pictorial Wallpapers, opening on Thursday, March 11th and remaining on view through Saturday, April 24, 2010 in IPCNY’s gallery.
Wallworks contextualizes contemporary wallpaper design by examining its evolution over a period of some two hundred years. Curated by decorative arts specialist Sarah Richards, it will include 35-40 examples of commercially available wallpaper illustrating the intersection of the decorative arts and culture at large. The range of technologies included in the exhibition will illuminate the commercial application of fine art printmaking techniques. Traditional mediums, such as woodcut and screenprint, will be shown along with mechanical reproduction and modern digital techniques."

Hi There! Are you guys still drawing on your own in your sketchbooks?
Remember anything goes, it's yours to fill!
Irena's sketchbook drawings (and also art, illustration, and urban works) inspire me.

SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT
This assignment is designed to allow you to experiment with mixed media drawing processes. Keep in mind this is more open ended compared to past assignments, and will allow room for you to be self-directed and explore. So, here we go:
SKETCHBOOK COLLAGE DRAWINGS USING MAGAZINE PAPER
Select five drawings from previous sketchbook assignments from this semester. Work back onto each of the five drawings. You must follow the constraints listed below as a minimum guideline, however you may choose to experiment additionally with imagery, pattern, color, & media. When collaging, try gluing/taping/sewing items down to secure them to your sketchbook page.
1. Each drawing must use at least four different media. Since sketchbook drawings that you are picking from already use one medium (such as graphite or ink), you will add three more to make a total of four. You must collage magazine paper as one of the four required media. For example, say you select a junk drawer drawing, your final mixed media drawing could include ink, graphite, collaged magazine paper, and fabric. You are welcome to go a step further and include other media. Any media is ok to use for this project as long as you start with a drawing you already did for a sketchbook assignment and you collage magazine paper.
3. Each of the five drawings must include a pattern in the composition. You can find pattern in magazines, on fabric, decorative paper, etc.
4. Consider unity, movement, balance and color.
5. Explore other materials such as office supplies, tape, sewing, tracing paper, newspaper, maps, fabric, paint, colored pencil, watercolor, organic objects, lace...and the list goes on and on...
Here are examples of sketchbook mixed media works from John Copeland. I have high expectations for the time spent and quality of this assignment. I look forward to viewing your work Tuesday. Questions? Post in comments or email me.
