Spring Break

I finally resolved my capstone - THANK GOD

Mary's Spring Critique

"Literature is Sexy"
Progress has been made - there will be four writers completed for the show.
Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Lord Byron (Sp?)

Mary has considered her exhibit space: She has the wall just outside and to the left of the design lab and the wall next to Prof. Alway's office. She plans on putting on artist on the small wall and three on the other.

Feedback:
Pay attention to the orientation and the direction of the gaze in the singled out artwork. Have it direct the viewer towards the other pieces if possible.

Start over on Byron. Look at Michael Angelo and Davinci for examples of rendered backs.

Nash likes the drawings as they are - before collaged.

Suggestion of a white background made of a different material

Plexiglass is cool, but heavy for framing.

Notes for Mary

"Literature is Sexy"

William Shakespeare - finished
Lord Byron - in progress
Jane Austen - to be completed
??? - To be announced

Types of framing:

• shadow box
• floating (using a frame size that is a step larger)
• under glass (use linen strips [college has] and spacers)
• no glass w/ nice frame
• dramatic frames

*Bobby Rosenstock is a good contact when it comes to framing and framing ideas

Talk to Beth Nash about composition, body proportions, dis/advantages of distortion

Consider composition changes --> suggested that showing clothing would add sex appeal

People liked the idea of using Edgar Allan Poe
