Course work: Sketched in the rough outlines for the final Assignment Four drawing. Added the fence and some tree trunks with marker, along with a very pale blue wash to suggest our pallid and humid summer sky.
Reading:
Matthew Collings This is Modern Art
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1999
Pp. 239-262
(I found this book difficult to read. It struck me as poorly-organized, self-important, and virtually content-free…much the same as a great deal of modern “art.” Perhaps I am too old to appreciate what the author has to say and how he says it, or perhaps I’m just too suspicious to be deceived by it.)
Kenneth Clark The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form
Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 1956
Pp. 3-29
Personal sketchbook work: Three ears of corn (which tasted wonderful.)
Total time: 2 hours 5 minutes (104h7m)
