Professoressa Julia

What a week it has been! And the fact that there are only 2 more weeks left before midterm is shocking. Rome trip was outtasight--I was the kid in a candy store (so to speak) in catacomb Priscilla--I loved the frisson of getting a bit creeped-out; this reminds me of my love of horror movies and ghost stories from childhood. You see, nothing really changes.

Last week we reviewed the"Bodies on Film" project--I was so pleased to see the jumps happening everywhere! I was especially thrilled by the links from our "Subjective" drawings to the new pieces--this process of the evolution of ideas, forms and sensibilities is the crux of an art practice, student or professional. It is very satisfying to be a witness to this!

This week we will be charging ahead on our "Collections" pieces--plus writing a mid-term paper on our work, and compiling a digital scrapbook that goes hand-in-hand with our papers. Ken Wood will be joining us for our last critique, which is wonderful. It's a good chance to smooth the cross-over (and to eat and drink together).

Ciao for now,
Julia
