Andrew Castrucci's Painting Class, Thursday, March 27, 2014

I got the chance to do Andrew's class again, I love his class. I always forget to add how long the poses are. This was about a two and half hour standing pose in a three hour class.

Artist David, I love how
he mixes mediums. The energy
in this is great.

Artist Christina, I always love her
pallet.

Artist Anna, this was her largest
canvas of me. She always picks
up my love of purples.

Artist Laura, this is saying
so much. Y'all know I
love energy.

Artist Ken, I have learned I have to
catch him at his halfway point. That point
when an artist thinks the work is not working
for them. Love it.

Artist Sebastian, even though
he could not get his groove
you have to admit this has beauty.

Tobi Kahn 's Class at SVA, Friday, January 31, 2014

Had another session with the artist, Kyveli. She added some touches to one of the drawings she did, I love it. I really think the students are used to people not getting their work. I love so much of what I witness, whether or me or not.

Next Friday is my last day in class with Kyveli. She is planning to paint on Friday.

Marilyn Lerner's Class at SVA on January 14, 2014

This was my first time modeling for Ms. Lerner. My first time modeling for a professor is always exciting. I never know what to expect. Then I have to be sure I am paying attention to make sure I am giving them what they need for the class. I truly enjoyed modeling for Marilyn and was floored when she shared she was happy with me.

Unfortunately, I did not have time to get pictures of everyone's work. I tried to at least get the ones that I noticed that had made the most progress over the class period.

My muscles still do the same thing...

I was telling a friend I was posing for an Anatomy class today. She ask but how can the see what your muscles are doing? I replied no matter my size, my bones, muscles, etc does the same thing as someone smaller.

When I pose for such classes, it challenges the knowledge of the students knowing how the body moves. No they can not 'see' my muscles. They have to use there knowledge of the human body to understand the pose I have chosen.

I blogged earlier, I pose on purpose. I chose poses that are going to test the knowledge, because they can not 'see' with their eyes. I never stand straight up and down, I am always twisted and leaning.

I love what I do and I am good at it.
