what are the adjudicators getting in their box lunches? and who are the cuties on page one?

Do you mean these cuties? Are there others? If so, do tell as I can't find them.

This work is all from late February and early March. I've been saving this sheet as a memento until today, when I elected to scan, post, and dispose of it.

Funny you should ask: the adjudicators, unhappy with someone else's choices, requested that I provide the subsequent lunches. From me, they got a turkey & pesto sandwich, al caprese sandwich, a kuku sabzi sandwich, sweet little tangerines, and a bar of chocolate with lemon & ginger. All from the Willy Street Coop. I'd hope to provide a baguette and local cheeses, but I had to shop before the baguettes were available. I was very busy during the conference, or I would have prepared something special. Something likely involving local cheeses.

omg yes THOSE cuties. and the curtains! I wish I could have been an all-male dancer in 1968.

you've raised the bar of the box lunch to dizzying heights. I just had to google "kuku sabzi," and will be mulling over the joys of cheeses for the rest of the afternoon.

I currently teach 2 courses at the university that focus on drawing as a tool for concept development and active thinking by way of drawn/written visuals.

These scans offer the most impressive examples I have seen to date.

Take my class.

A+

Yay! Thanks, MC! Can you tell me more about why my drawings are successful?

I would love to take your class. But I worry that I would be the most difficult of difficult students.

My pleasure and excitement with your drawings is mostly rooted in TIME. Your first word processed gesture provided a structure that you then worked with for what appears to be weeks and weeks. This act of labor breathes extra love and life into your marks. Such a committment to actually WORKING WITH a drawing is always a thrill to see...elbow grease, notations, erasing, correcting, more erasing, more correcting, etc. All too often a single gesture or mark is laid down, and never responded to thereafter. Your call and response made for a heavily worked and consequently engaging surface. Bravo!


Most difficult of difficult students? I doubt it. Just try giving Little Miss YouKnowWho from last quarter a run for her money!
