People I met at Pratt, independent study, 2012 Spring
This semester I have 2 independent studies, so I would like to do some thing different:)
To be honest, I'm not good at figure drawing, especially portraits, so I want to use this long term project to practice figure drawing.
這學期我剛好有兩個獨立計畫課程(也就是可以做任何你想做的計畫),於是我想做些不一樣的東西
老實說,我真的不太擅長畫人像,所有我想藉此機會來好好練習
In the beginning, I would like to draw people on the street from 4 seasons. On the other words, I was going to draw 8 people each month, and gathering all portraits from 12 months. When I put them together, we can see how season changes with people's clothes.
This idea was too idealistic, and I gave up quickly. I was too shy to interview random strangers on the street, although I tried twice. The first lady refused me, and the second one was an artist, who asked some donation for the interview...I felt upset, and I changed my targets- friendly and nice people at Pratt :)
一開始,我想要畫四季不同的路人。
換句話說,我本來打算每個月畫8個人,然後將12個月所畫的人像整理起來。
當把他們放在一起時,我們便可以從路人的穿著中看出季節的變化。
但這是個太理想卻不好實行的計畫,我真的很害羞去路上隨便找人,雖然我真的有勇敢是了2次。
可是第一個女士拒絕的了,第二個是個機車藝術家,說要我捐錢才給拍...
我真是心灰一冷,真是冷漠的紐約客啊==
所以我整個計畫全盤改變,我決定來畫又親切人又好的Pratt路人好了(其實大部份都是我認識的啦)
I also asked them, "What would you say to yourself in ten years?"
我同時也問了每個人,“想對10年後的自己說什麼呢?”
On one side are portraits (Fine Art/ Illustration/Graphic Design/Professor)其中一面是大頭像(美術/插畫/設計/教授)
On the other side, it's their whole body portraits with their answers.另一面是全身像,還有他們的答案
That's how the book looks like:)這是書實際的樣子
