I. am. very. tired. 'bout to get over it though and talk about capstone. That's the first challenge. The second challenge is to adjust to this whole MAC thing including this awkward little keyboard. It feels like elementary school. I think that's the last time I was required to journal. Kind of cool to be revisiting the concept and sort of sad it has taken this long to return. The feeling is just the same. You know, the one where if you aren't typing when teacher looks it makes you feel guilty.....
ok, capstone. I'm doing a figure study. That is a really broad way of putting it and honestly it is pretty broad in actuality. It is sort of my fear at this point. I don't want to end up with a whole lot of 'random'. Granted, I feel like the purpose of blogging and having a capstone class is to prevent said randomness. I think what will end up happening is a bit of exploration will take place, I will reflect on this, then venture in the directions that are coherent to this project. I do know I would like my capstone to be both 2-D and have a 3-D element as well.
Alright, all done homie.
The next step, I believe, is to research how other artists handle the figure. I mean it is a broad area of study; spanning over many artistic and related social movement. That statement is completely vague in that I couldn't give specifics of how views and handling of the figure have changed, but I do know of the movements. Guess that's where the research comes into play.
Additional steps taken thus far include my sitting in on Prof. Nash's life drawing class that is currently being offered. It feels good to be studying the figure in depth again. It has been a year and a half since I last visited this form of the arts.
