Faculty Meeting with Chad Smith

  • Trip showing the final images in either a diptych or a grid? Could be interesting
  • Study sculptures and how masters like Michelangelo sculpted hands
  • Georgia O'keeffe
  • Alfred Stieglitz
  • Don't be in such a rush to edit your photos right away. Give it some time to disconnect from the shoot emotionally
  • Try not to think too much like a commercial photographer (seeing the final images before the actually shoot. We talked about how hard it is to do because of our background). Just let your creativity go at the moment
  • Look into www.atpi.org Mark Murray
  • Graduate school is a time to educate yourself with what you don't know. It is natural to get lost and not know where where to go next
  • Try images in color. After a couple of shoots, print in color and B&W to compare

  After looking at Vaughn's post, I picked out a handful of artwork from Lee Bontecou to research a little more. Upon reading about Bontecou, the first thing that stood out to me was how she used the darkest part of her work to create a different dimension. Lee refers to her "black hole or voids" as a way to bring you into her world of science fiction. The art work below main focus, for me, is the center circular object. I am torn between a part of a spacecraft and the center of a universe that she has created. In my last post, Sean Tucker talked about embracing the shadows and I feel that Bontecou pieces speaks to me in the same way.

Mask of the World

From the first look at Mask of the World, I fell into a rabbit hole of this unique universe. The more I observe these incredible faces, I start to notice a piece of culture in each one. Answering Vaughn's question, I believe that some, not all, mask were created to be worn. Each mask has a purpose such as for hunting, performance, a cultural significant history and also these mask could also be a contemporary art piece. I love the idea of expanding beyond the mask by adding the torso to these faces. It becomes more than facial features. I would love to see the weapons or accessories that each culture uses along with these mask and how they compare with one another.
