I went to chicago this weekend with the fine arts association. It was a crazy and fun weekend, but now I am in such a haze--I just don't even know what to do with myself.
We went to the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Institute of Art. At the mca there was a Luc Tuymans show that was pretty interesting. It was a large body of his work, so there were a lot of hit and misses with me. He had a lot of different jumps in concepts in his work, but they were generally all addressed the similarly. Naturally, some pieces worked better than others.
Im excited to do more drawings this week in life drawing. I really like seeing that i am able to draw better and more realistically. At this point in my college career i feel like the conceptual part of my art is really coming forward and that learning all of the basic techniques is falling back. I mean, when I think back to my first year at stout, it was all about drawing for hours at a time staring at still lives. I think what I'm getting at is that its nice to be able to still work on purely visual and technical skills.
