On Saturday I began teaching a new session of Portfolio Development classes at Otis College of Art and Design. These classes are geared for young artists hoping to attend art school. We mostly concentrate on observational drawing (think still life with crazy objects).
As I walked around the classroom, giving instruction on how to achieve correct proportions and create interesting compositions, I told my students, "It's all about relationships between the objects." I went droning on about "Relationships, relationships, relationships, rela . . . ." When it suddenly dawned on me.
"Hey, Monday's my 29th wedding anniversary."
Relationships indeed.
In drawing as in art, relationships are the key.
Mayknart - about mentoring, about teaching. Some days, it all makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't. But always, I love it more than I can tell you.
