Review, upcoming "Interaction" exhibition and Ron Rado

Hi Everyone

A few people away yesterday due to illness. Please make sure you bring your work in next week.

The Review:

Photography:

The 12 photos based on mood seems to be well resolved. I think it allowed you to look at alternative ways of developing the photographic image using Photoshop. It also showed that a tutorial is only a guide and for final resolution one's own aesthetic needs to apply. This is art...learning the rules, then breaking them!

We will need to see all the photos from the group to resolve presentation for the exhibition.

Printmaking:

The etching were very strong...well done! Also some meritable results with the collographs and monotypes. The digital side in some instances could still develop further.

Drawing:

The head is difficult to draw and I think from where you started there was progress.. drawing is a skill and like most skills needs practise, keep drawing...

The range of approaches to the head, from text to looking at other artists produced some varied results...the idea of exploring differentways of looking and interpreting.

The projection painting:

Wow! Congratulations to Pradnya, John, Pete and Narmin.This is learning curve stuff, with all the pitfalls of learning what the game is about.. you have created some great results..they are exciting...I'm also looking forward to seeing how James and Alycia resolve their pieces.. and those of you not here yesterday.

NEW BLOCK of work:

We start the final Block next week. I will present the assignment on Tuesday. We also start up again with figure drawing.
