le great deathsentence - hapaldo - 03-09-2014 Setting up my own deathsentence: Study different themes/subjects relating to art for six days a week, and on the last day produce a work based on what was learned 1. Study from six different sources, one for each day: still life*, en plein air*, life*, photographs and stills, other artists’ work and instructional books** 2. Work time for each day is a minimum of one hour, but preferred three or more 3. Any medium 4. They must be submitted with the produced work onto an online sketchbook 5. Each week will have a different physical subject/theme for the purposes of study to be determined by the artist. a theme may be repeated depending on the feels. The week starts and finishes at 23:59 on Sundays. * still life, life and en plein air are all technically the same thing, but with subtle connotations. For the purpose of this exercise still life refers to a controlled lighting condition, en plein air means outside or with many uncontrolled light sources, and life means anything the artist wants it to mean. ** instructional books, for this exercise, refers to anatomy books, IKEA manuals, mechanic's guides and architectural drawings-- anything that pulls apart the subject and explains it. If there's difficulty in finding a guide for an object, either pull it apart physically or just eyeball an explanation for the mechanics. Starting tomorrow, 10th of March 2014, I sentence myself to twelve months of this study, and hell hath fury if I fail to do so. RE: le great deathsentence - KurtJeremy - 03-09-2014 i like this death sentence, im intrigue on how youre gonna go about this, nevertheless ill be checking out youre sketchbook every week RE: le great deathsentence - hapaldo - 03-16-2014 not good at working from imagination, it seems. the only way out i can think of is continuing to practice. i'm also awful at colour theory, so that's something additional i should probably study independently. also going to note these were pretty rushed, so i guess i need to work on time management as well-- that being said, learning to work quickly as its benefits, i've heard. photoref from stock img site master study from jana schirmer RE: le great deathsentence - eru - 03-16-2014 I just realize, are you doing any designs in your deathline, creating stuff that you like I think this is also important, Im no expert.
