GALLERY OF STUDENT WORK
These large charcoal drawings are 24" by 42" and were created by using a subtractive method. The student covered the surface with charcoal and then used an eraser to remove the charcoal and create the image.
The assignment was to create a piece that symbolically illustrates someone who had significantly influenced the student. This student chose the instructor that ran the school's math lab, Mr. Hall. The student said it represented the climb to knowledge that Mr. Hall faced in his life.
A large collage created as a symbolic self-portrait by the student. The student had red hair and she felt that it set her apart and was a bit magical. We looked at the work of the Pre-Raphaelites for inspiration. This collage had a thick layer of resin poured over the top of it making it about an inch thick.
After creating a series of collages illustrating the principles of Gestalt Theory of Visual Perception, the students worked with smaller images of their collages in Photoshop. They then incorporated the concepts developed by Wucius Wong’s “Principles of Design” to create a series of “Super Unit Forms.”
“Gestalt theorists followed the basic principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, the whole (a picture, a car) carried a different and greater meaning than its components.”
