Students,

For some reason the kit for my course is not showing up online.  To order it you will have to call the store to place your order: 516-248-1555.  The kit is for Professor Gehring ART171.  If you have any trouble ask for Stacy Garcia, she handles the kit program.  I have verified that the kits will be delivered to us in class on Tuesday September 9th, please be sure to place your order before then.
 

Welcome back

The fall 2014 term is about to launch.  If you are inquisitive and resourceful and have found yourself here in advance, hoping to get a jump on the semester, you are in luck!  You can purchase your class kit from Dick Blick art supply in Carl Place.  Purchases can be made either at the store or online.  Online purchases will be delivered directly to class on September 9.  See you soon.

Sculpture1 and Advanced Sculpture Weekend Assignment

Watch and absorb the ideas and practice of acclaimed artist Andy Goldsworthy in this breathtaking documentary.  Then leave your house, got to a park or the beach or both and create 3-5 Goldsworthy-inspired sculptural arrangements in the landscape.  This is the last weekend for vivid fall color.  Use it to your advantage.  Take multiple photographs of your sculptures from different angles with the aim of getting one or two really great photos that best capture the work.  Email these photos to me by midnight this Sunday and size them for the web - 800 px max at 72ppi.  I plan to compile a selection of your images for the class to review, so don't be late.
