my used danto books came!!!
the hardback unnatural wonders (2005) looks brand new :)
have talked about this book in past postings >so i will spare all of us now.
the abuse of beauty (2003) is a small paperback (a novel quality amongst this genre>very wordy). it has some underlining in it-which is ok since it catches my attention.
like danto's transfiguration of the commonplace, this book seems to be addressing issues of the definition of art, conceptual content, & beauty as an option in art. we shall see...
About Me
- kt
- California, United States
- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ someone who should paint/do art more & yap/write/blog less ---------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- -------------- MFA student in the limited residency program at the ART Institute of Boston!!!!! --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Will graduate in Spring 2009
PRELIMINARY STUDIO PROPOSAL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Goal:
to integrate my digital work with my paintings
Concept:
create a range of studies that combine:
Loose drawings (from life or memory as they relate to my project)
Digital with paint
Paint into digital
Possibly repeat process
Composite studies
Pending the results of these studies, a series of larger works will be created and presented.
Quantity:
Final series will most likely be an odd number with quantity determined by size. At this moment I am anticipating 5 or 7 images in this series.
Size:
Final artwork will utilize the 12-15ft exhibition space offered at AIB during the January 08 residency. Pending preliminary studies and mentor feedback, I intend to use a square format to reference the digital element in this exploration. Therefore, sizes could be somewhere between 2x2’ and 4x4’
Materials:
Acrylic or acrylic mix media
Studies will most likely be on paper, canvas or hardboard
Final series will be determined by results and mentor input.
Since this is an exploration, paper, canvas, hardboard, plastic or metal are to be considered as possible solutions. Although unlikely, projections or 3D are feasible results.
Final product:
The exhibition of a paint/computer hybrid image series (alongside preliminary studies).
