Jan. 4-11th 2013 MFA Program
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”. - Marcel Proust
"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible." Paul Klee
Boston, start of the MFA program, Discussions and lectures are going quite well, talks of artist aging and the concepts of how they finalize, life is an open door for one to question and see and slightly out of focus at times. We are delving into looks and wanders of history of artist works and into ones self life. Talks of looking at art in a conceptual form of design, shape, history, symbols, metaphors and placement in time. With a division of a form by placement, and non placement of light source to finalize the subject. I like the way the lectures. question us. use great statements and quotes and makes us think.
Crits, going well, it is hard to look into my work,it is good to be questioned. I have my own personal beliefs, which are respected, but one starts to think PUSH, edge, could I, what if, what next, how, , if I can, these words race through my head while crits are happening.
Crits highlights: responsive,well excuted, formal images, 1970's, emotion, intense, compostion,
How am I different from those prior.
The visiting art lectures are wonderful, the views,perspective and varitions of ideas, in which the artist came to that point of understanding and creating their body of work is a opener.
