I'm taking Advanced Drawing this year, and the point of this class is to come away with a unified portfolio of five to seven pieces. Many art majors at this point - including me - have taken foundation classes, but have studied technique more that worrying about the outcome of pieces. By the time we're sophomores, and even juniors, we surely have some quality pieces, but as a whole our portfolios are weakened by the extreme variety. For this class, we came up with a solid "theme" to our portfolios, with proposals and everything.
Mine consists of six to seven huge pieces (about 38"x48") of people yawning.
I hope to get a variety of people's faces yawning and draw them with vine charcoal, and the size will hopefully give a more powerful impression upon my audience...because there
will be an audience. We hope to have a student show of everyone's portfolios by the end of the year!
That's awesome! A comment popped up under my schoolmail...so it gave me a chance to see what you've been up to...Nice rendering and this seems like a really great concept...much better than the woman that took pictures of babies crying after she ripped candy away from them...
