AR 203 Class

AR 203, Introduction to Drawing (Spring 2012), Instructor: Dawn EdmondsonExquisite Corpse Exercise

Each drawing is composed by three different people and none of them can see what the others havedrawn! It begins by folding a paper in thirds. The first person draws the head and makes a small markto indicate where the next person should connect the body. Then the paper is folded over so the next

person cannot see the earlier work. This process is repeated a third time until a whole figure iscomposed. We use this as an ice-breaker for the class. Students have fun and are amazed at the

outcome!

Artist's Statement

My work is about my phenomenological engagement with the natural world. I believe the natural world informs all that is cultivated no matter what the reason, function or purpose. I believe thatall culture can be enhanced, deppened and broadened, through the observation of nature. I am enamored with thecomplexity of systems found in nature and their interrelatedness. I find the intricacy of detailed information in nature tobe an endless source of inspiration. I am a multidisciplinary artist with an interest in how the wild informs the cultivated. I am a seer, a witness, aparticipant in nature. I am nature, my body, my mind, my spirit. What does nature look like? What does nature act like?Why? What systems are in place? How do my observations influence my spirit? How does my spirit influence myobservations? How does it influence what I create? Why do I find what I see beautiful? What are the components tobeauty? I engage my senses. I observe sight, smell, touch, sound, taste. I record my visual observations through the media ofphotography. Sometimes I explore and express my spirit and my observations through manipulated surfaces, or thecreation of form. Or I engage my mind in the dialogue between observation and the creation of space, interior space orcultivated garden or landscape, an internal discussion about what is and what may become, transforming space,becoming place. I am particularly interested in the phenomenological experience of the environment and the creation of cultivatedspaces that express the spirit of the human "being." What does it mean to be alive? I engage the natural world trying tosee beyond immediate vision into greater depths of reality. I use my senses to explore coming to knowledge empirically. I am interested in the spiritual nature of the human "being."

Artist's Statement

"A few years ago, I discovered if I scanned a little insignificant piece of the natural world – a blade of grass, atwig, a feather, a flower petal – and built a complex geometric pattern using Adobe Photoshop, the essence ofthe original organized quality of that morsel created a kind of "genuiness" that no other abstract designseemed to attain. It's not merely that nature contains things we can't anticipate. There's a spirit in it –wrapped in a surprise – and it seems the more you manipulate it the more that spirit comes out."www.photometamorphia.com

Artist's Statement

A photograph can be manipulated to show unexpected design and movement in the image, whether itis nature, landscape, cityscape, or portraits. Simple rearrangement by cut and paste opens up a myriadof possibilities, and close attention to the true nature of the image during this process will reveal thebest new way to view your photo. (see www.designcrafting.com for more)

Notes:

AR203, Introduction to Drawing, Instructor: Paula PaolinoDrawing I - In this class, students learn to draw from direct observation while acquiring informationregarding line, shape, value, and composition. They also observe how light affects form. They begin toacquire a style of self expression which is evident in these self-portraits and still life. This is processdrawing where the students are less concerned about one drawing but rather approach each drawing withan opportunity to apply what they have acquired to date. These drawings were all done in one class periodor less.

AR 203, Introduction to Drawing (Spring 2012), Instructor: Dawn EdmondsonExquisite Corpse Exercise –Each drawing is composed by three different people and none of them can seewhat the others have drawn! It begins by folding a paper in thirds. The first person draws the head andmakes a small mark to indicate where the next person should connect the body. Then the paper is folded

over so the next person cannot see the earlier work. This process is repeated a third time until a wholefigure is composed. We use this as an ice-breaker for the class. Students have fun and are amazed at theoutcome!

AR205, Introduction to Digital Photography, "Personal Advertisements", Instructor: Tom NaultFor the assignment "Personal Advertisements” students look at the poetic, dreamy, Pictorialist images ofAlfred Stieglitz and learn to "read” advertising images. Students make a list of ten words that describethem, and then make advertisements for themselves using their own emotionally charged Pictorialistimages and one of the words from their list.

Words and images have an effect on each other and the addition of even one "non-subtitle" word to animage can have a big impact: the image can change how we interpret the word and the word can changehow we interpret the photograph. In either case, the viewer is more involved than in more straightforwardphotos.

About TechArts

TechArts began as an art installation in 1995, as a way to showcase the artistic talents of the students,faculty, and staff of New England Tech and share them with the rest of the college community. The concept ofTechArts resurfaced in the Spring of 2004 when a committee of faculty and administrative staff members becamefully committed to keeping this tradition alive as an annual event. Art now has a permanent place in the Library. Exhibits are changed quarterly, with a mix of works from theexpanding number of arts-related courses that are now part of the curriculum. Occasionally, works are donated tothe Library and have become part of our permanent collection. This online exhibit catalog provides a sense of theart entrusted to us for the next few weeks. This year's TechArts Committee included: Susan Warthman, Director of the Library and Information Commons,Dawn Edmondson, Assistant Professor (Interior Design Technology, Sally Kingsbury, Professor (Video and AudioProduction and Digital Recording Arts Technologies), Tom Nault, Adjunct Instructor (Humanities and SocialSciences) and myself. With their help, art works were photographed and were placed or hung throughout the newlibrary space. I would like to thank Cindy Pankiewicz (Catalog Librarian) for her assistance with placing andhanging the show and Grayce Moorehead (Web Content Manager) for her assistance with creating materials forpublicity. Their artistic sensibilities and assistance with organizing, arranging, hanging, and publicizing the show isinvaluable. We invite everyone to come in and enjoy the art for the Spring Quarter and to appreciate the creativity andimagination of the artists who are part of our college community.
