Penn State Brandywine Art

Just three blocks from me...

We are onto our final assignments for all of our studio-art courses. Intro. Painting and Independent Study/Painting II, will be conceptualizing/making something "3-D" in nature from the supplies "at hand" and or available to them. They've been asked to document "the making of" with photos. This 3-D Making project was conceptualized by Rawlola Blair. Rawlola decided to document her day as an EMT in the heart of The Pandemic, in NYC. She, like many of our healthcare workers are... heroes, worthy of much more than respect and praise. They are literally risking their lives and potentially the lives of those closest to them and yet, they are helping and caring for other human beings!!! This is certainly exemplary behavior and... The triumph of the human spirit. We are strong!! We are Penn State strong!!! To see more contributions from our students, go to -"psubart" on Instagram. Stay tuned.... See more

We are on to our final assignments for all of our studio-art courses for the spring 2020 semester. Intro. Drawing will be playing with and modifying "Old Master" drawing. They were to select a drawing, then manipulate that twice (two more versions of..) via their cell phone-photo editing functions, filters and or PhotoShop-like apps (many are free-Layout, PhotoShop Express, AutoDesk Sketchbook...to name a few). This drawing is by Raphael Sanzio (1483-1520), was selected by Sa...nti Laureano and modified. Raphael was considered one of "The Big Three" equal to Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. However, he died at 37 years old, as opposed to living a long life life like both Michelangelo and da Vinci. He still accomplished an amazing amount of work, in his shorter life span. One wonders, if he would have eclipsed both, had he lived as long as they did.(Michelangelo lived to be 88. Da Vinci 67). He was the true embodiment of a "Renaissance Human Being"!!! On another note, Raphael Fenton-Spaid, one of our studio-art faculty members and an integral team member at PSUBART, was named after the master. Look for us on- psubart on Instagram. Our students are absolutely engaged and amazing!!!! We are strong!!! We are Penn State Strong!!!! Stay tuned...... See more
