Drawing Finals

Yay, done with my drawing final today! 

The art studio looks amazing today.  For our final piece, we were required to display our drawing/s on the walls of the art studio, with additional items such as our 20 sketches and an artists statement.  This is a good practice for art students who needs to learn how to showcase their works.  Here's what I learned about displaying artworks:

• Presentation is key
• Being neat and organize = good 
• Hang your artwork the way you think will best express to the audience the theme/message 
• When displaying  your work, find another group of artists who have a similar theme to your own; thus, your presentation is cohesive 
• Only one group in the class made the display work as a whole 
• Try to make your piece stand out by clearing away any clutters or mess that may get in the way of your art 
• This is quite important because if you leave these items near your piece, it is sending a message to the audience that the items belong with your piece 

We were given the chance to walk around the "art gallery" and look at each others' artwork, sketchbook, and personal statement and comment on their work with honest critiques.  I found many of my classmates' ideas and concept very unique.  I especially liked the one that made a connection between shoes and personality.    The artworks were beautiful too.  My favorite piece has to be Krysta's.  She spent tons of hours working on both her pieces and just by looking at it, I'm simply awe and speechless because it's beautiful.  I don't have pictures up yet but then when I do, you guys will feel the same way too!

Pacific students should definitely not miss out on the display in the art studio; it's a once in a life time opportunity to see these people's work go up on display (we have some students with awesome art skills who are not art majors!)

I'll leave my own final drawing to tomorrow's talk because it would be much better if there's a photo of it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this art class.  In the beginning of the school year, this art class was my least favorite class.  I dread coming to it because it was challenging and I did not like the professor's teaching.  However, I found my perception changed once I got to know the class and teacher better.  I recommend Professor Hunt's class for Pacific drawing class if anyone is interested because it is well taught and quite challenging.
