From Drawing II
medium: nu-pastels and gesso on white paper
size: about 22x30"
project: intro to pastels and color; students chose or created their own still lifes to draw...the main goal was simply to explore the media.
artist: Jason Adams
Why it's on the blog: Exploring new media can be frustrating, challenging and can end in disaster. Jason has the ability to use materials to make mundane (in this case, left over chinese food) into interesting compositions by focusing on the abstraction of color and mark making. Also, for some reason this reminds me of Lee Krasner's work....
From Drawing I
medium: charcoal on white sulfite paper
size: 18x24"
project: focusing on edges and using value to create edges rather than line.
artist: Reuben Bloom
Why it's on the blog: He admits he's probably not finished with it, but the drawing has a lovely presence. The edges are beautifully done--it's nice to see a Drawing I student so conscious of this quality.
