Residency - AVIVO - Jes Reyes - 5 hours
Residency - Perpich - Kathryn D’Elia - 7 hours
The turnout for studio time at AVIVO this week was small due to the weather, so myself and other staff enjoyed a work day with a few artists. I have started gathering ideas from members on what type of painting lesson they would benefit most from.
Tuesday was students’ last day to work on their facial plane drawings in charcoal. They alternated posing/drawing with a partner with one, harsh light source and aimed to complete the portrait, with remaining work to be done outside of class. Kathryn and I surveyed the room and gave any last minute feedback.
On Thursday sketchbooks were turned in for both classes, which focused on grayscale value for the first block and a conceptual response to a podcast, movie, etc. for the second block. Kathryn and I graded these together.
The Advanced Painting class introduced proposals for independent paintings that focused on a specific type of brush stroke/style of their choosing.
