This blog is meant to be read in posting order - starting from the earliest post is advised.
I was an art student for eight years, on and off. Recently I went through my notebooks and re-discovered the wealth of wisdom that I learned. At the request of friends, I will attempt to present the information on this blog. If you haven't visited in awhile, re-check earlier posts. I will be attempting to organize this information as I post, and I will likely modify earlier posts as I come across information that fits best with various topics.
The information here is also useful for Illustration, Printmaking, Graphic
Design, and Photography composition.
This information is gleaned from classes with: Richard Diebenkorn (UCLA); Richard Huebner, Glenn Vilppu, Harry Carmean, Theodore Youngkin, Vernon Wilson, Lorser Feitelson, Mary Vartikian, Bernyce Polifka, Eugene Fleury, John? Anderson (Art Center College of Design); Richard/Dick Oden, James Van Eimeren, Richard/ Dick Swift (California State University Long Beach / CSULB), as well as ethnic art history classes with Kristi Slayman-Jones. Many of these wonderful teachers are no longer with us, so this is in honor of them.
Rules are made to be broken, but first you need to know the rules.
