Be more artful!

stilllifeThe LLC's collection of practical art books is growing.  One of the most interesting is ONE DRAWING A DAY by Veronica Lawlor. (741.2) Between its two covers is a 6 week course to explore creativity with illustration and mixed media.  Here's exercise 1 to play with. "Select a few items in your home and create a still life with them....Draw continuously, picking the pen up from the page only occasionally."   Share your work with us...we will hang work or scan it for electronic sharing.

Just Kids

Just Kids by Patti SmithPatti Smith’s bestselling memoir, Just Kids, is a love story, but one directed more at art itself than at Robert Mapplethorpe, whose life is intertwined with Patti’s and whose death both begins and ends the book. In the cover photograph, their shaggy heads are pressed together. Robert is caught mid-blink, the small skulls around his neck glinting. Patti looks like she is challenging the viewer with the one eye not obscured by her self-hacked haircut. You can see how tightly her jaw is clenched. The book is filled with photographs like this one – tenderly framed, somewhat out of focus, capturing, with the set of a jaw or the drape of an arm, the connection between two people, the difficulty of an era, and, in the careful and subtle lighting, the way of looking at the world, as artists, that saved them.

What else is new...
