Week two

Well today was a long, hard and hot day!

You all worked well today and made progress. The process of making art has it's ups and downs
and I guess there are often more downs than ups. One can perhaps take comfort
in knowing that in Florence, Italy there is a museum of all of Michelangelo's many 'flops'
and abandoned, unfinished works. For most artists, there is a LOT of work behind the masterpieces. Was it Picasso who said art is 1% genius, 99% perspiration?

The pay off, is when something does work (and it will!) the feeling or high is amazing.

You will all improve relatively quickly, so please don't judge your work too harshly. Keep your first drawing and look back at it in a few weeks time, just as a reminder of where you began.

Next week:

Tuesday: More drawing, resolving painting and printing on Canvas!
Thursday: Public art and photographing bottles - photoshop
Friday: Video ..lets get your ideas resolved. spend some time this weekend thinking it through. Put down some notes /thumbnails on paper.

Sydney Payment of $100 deposit due by Thursday-- cheap tickets depends on you doing this.


Those people not here today, please remember to excuse yourselves and catch up the work.
Also several of you need to start your blogs.

I'm expecting 3 new students to join us next week.

Have a good weekend.
