For next Tuesday

I hope that everyone enjoyed their time at the PMA! For homework please complete the last part of the assignment in your sketchbook.

Memory reflection: Record the things that are still haunting you from your viewing experience. What stuck with you about this particular work? Why do you think these things made a lasting impression? Draw aspects of the piece from memory. Choose a drawing material that seems to be the most appropriate in relation to your piece.

We will be meeting in the west entrance lobby of the PMA again next Tuesday at 1:00. Please bring your materials, and be sure to email me your response to the reading in PDF form prior to class.

Extra Credit Opportunity #1

DATE:

Tuesday, January 20, 2015 - 6:00pm

LOCATION:

Temple Contemporary

Temple Contemporary is pleased to present the book launch for SEPTA Posters: Collector’s Edition. Printed with our own Publication Studio, the Collector’s Edition brings together five zines that feature Beth Heinly’s trademark black and white line work. Drawing on a tradition of culture hacking and subverting advertising images, Heinly emphasizes and exposes the subtle and not-so-subtle racism, classism, and sexism in advertisements found in Philadelphia’s public transit spaces. Arts writer and artist Whitney Kimball will lead the dialogue with Heinly about her work.

Thursday Jan 15 @ PMA

Class will meet inside the West entrance (not the side with the Rocky steps) of the PMA at 1:00 sharp. Please find Erica immediately to check in.

It is a bit tricky to get to the PMA from Temple. Your best bets are driving and parking somewhere in Fairmount, Uber, or bike down Fairmount. You can take the 23 bus to the 43 bus if you have more than 30 minutes to get there.

Tomorrow I will share the cell # list so you can begin to carpool if necessary.
