MIDTERM REVIEW

On Thursday we will be meeting in our classroom at Tyler at 12:30. We will be working in class and meeting individually to go over assignments and prepare for the midterm review (Tuesday March 10, the first class after returning from Spring Break).

For the midterm review:
- Approx. 1 sketchbook full of drawings in various mediums. 
- Go back through previous assignments and make sure they are the best that they can be (do not edit blind contours- those should stay as-is). Have fun with it! Make your sketchbook stand out. Please leave drawings in black and white unless color is necessary for conceptual reasons. 
- You should have the following assignments, in addition to studies completed on your own, from observation:

• Looking Carefully, Memory Reflection @ PMA
• Blind Contours, Asian Arts @ PMA
• 5 full page blind contours of interiors, homework
• Scale drawing of Chair(s) @ Perelman, Vitra show
• Scale drawing of furniture, homework
• Blind contour portraits, in-class assignment
• Drawing research @ Moore
• Response to piece from Moore + statement, homework
• Drawings @ Locks Gallery
• Drawings @ Jules Goldman
• Imagined history of object from Jules Goldman, homework
• Drawings @ Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul
• 5 objects larger than life, homework
• Wagner drawings, day 1

• In-class drawings from Thursday Feb 26

The Journals of Dan Eldon

Dan Eldon created most of his journals between the ages of 15 and 22, although several small notebooks created previously are included here among his earliest books. He started his more formal journals in 1985 for a school anthropology trip and an English class. At the same time, Dan was beginning to travel around Kenya more often and to take more photographs. Both his adventures and his images made their way into his books. You can read more about the journals in this excerpt from Dan Eldon: The Art of Life, by Jennifer New.
