DNAC students continued with individual character development drawings emphasizing on greater definition and varied color schemes. DNAC, as well as the other art training programs, continue to stress the need for perfect attendance. Those that missed class last week had to spend time researching to 'catch up' so that they could contribute to the mural process as it develops. Come to class each week, and on time, the success of this commissioned public art legacy project depends on your presence and participation each and every week! We cannot do this project without your input! Be there!
The foundation of the mural is now coming into form. The literacy theme aspect is coming together: the background colors and where they'll be placed are now being discussed and decided upon. All of the aforementioned activities are the prelude to the unification process of this mural development. Artist/Educators Odette Duke-Holley and Joye Ofei introduced the all important grid process to the DNAC students this week. This part of the mural process is crucial: an ancient secret of public art, the grid will provide the young artist a skill that they will use in practice for the rest of their public art careers. After mastering this technique, the young DNAC artist will never be the same. They will have unlocked a prime secret that master artists have used for centuries. Welcome aboard DNAC students, you are on your way to becoming the next generation of master artists!
The DNAC students began work on a scaled grid model designed for their class room. The scale for the actual mural project will be 7.5 inches equals one foot in scale. This will make for the actual installed mural eight feet high and sixteen feet long. Wow, that's big! What contribution will you make? Up next, DNAC will look to unify all the previous steps and practices, and to gather the reviews and recommendations of Dr. Conja Wright of the Redford Library.
The DNAC class will meet next on December 4, 2010. Be there and be prepared to learn the magic! Have a great Thanksgiving break, continue to work daily in your sketchbooks, we are making history here! Stay tuned, and please share your comments about this experience!
