Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.
nice job with both the copy and interpretive, I would have liked to see more shading in your second drawing instead of only contours. I really enjoyed the personal touch in the self portrait in adding your spine, definitely captured an essence of Frida's work in doing this.
Your study of Kahlo’s work seemed to delve solely on line quality and I think that is both successful in your copy and the applied study. Proportions are correct and the style is implemented seamlessly in the self portrait.
Your master copy is done very well. The study has very nice contours and I loved that you added the spine to represent yourself like Khalo did in her work.
He did an impressive job in transposing Kahlo’s original work. I suggest the pieces could have been larger though. He chose a work with two bodies in it which challenging in my mind. The proportions are spot on and it did look 2-dimensional. His own interpretation of the artist’s style was fine.
You did a great job in replicating Kahlo's piece in both line quality and style. I really liked that you included your spine with scoliosis in your Master study, putting information about yourself into the piece (much like Frida Kahlo)! Great job!
I like the interpretation of your master’s pieces through concept, I would have like to see a painterly style to your study similar to that of the appropriation you did of your master.
"Frida Kahlo" Though the master work itself is of dubious skill or meaningful content, the copy certainly does its job in revealing the source artist. ...Since Kahlo's style is more about subject than the elements of style, the original drawing in the far right, viewed alone--with its apparent lack of any Surrealist paraphernalia--could be anyone's. However, considered together, with its inflated scale and contrasting character, it almost suggests the type of odd matrimonial pairings the artist was apt to present.

ReplyDeleteGreat reconstruction of master
Why so small?

Extremely successful style match
I admired the personal element you added to the composition

I enjoyed your master study, it was well rendered. Your interpretation really felt like a piece of the Maters collection. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteCool choice, and nice concept for the study. Really made it his own channeling Kahlo and putting his personal life into it, just like she would do.
