    Session 12 - Auguste Rodin

    This session we take inspiration from Auguste Rodin, who was better known as a sculptor and artist, but, what about his life drawing sessions with his live-in muses? We read from "Auguste Rodin, Exotic Drawings" by Anne Marie Bonnet.

    Croquis from Home: Session 5 - Egon Schiele

    Egon Schiele is the classic story of unrequited love. The tragic story of Egon's work and life is expressed in his nude drawings that are still highly referenced and influential to any person considering getting any form of expression in their work. In his short life, he made a vast amount of content and volume of life drawings, none of which were celebrated in his time. In retrospect, he is considered an artistic genius who developed a style all to his own.

    Croquis from Home: Session 4 - Writing Art History

    We all speak a language, and our mother tongue allows us to communicate with our peers and families. However, the language of art history and the way in which classic art historical paintings speak is a learned methodology and/ or philosophy. By reading from a reference book for art historians, hopefully, it allows the listener to think about the way in which they use the page.

    Croquis from Home: Session 3 - Adolf Loos

    It is important to not ignore the background because it enlightens our human subject. What is behind the human figure is also just as interesting and important to measure the proportions of the figure. How do we use the background as a reference to enhance our drawings and make our shapes more accurate? Brandon reads from Adolf Loos' journal translated from German regarding 'good' design.
