No Nudes is Good Nudes

After Bellocq

We’ve been photographing the figure in both my Digital and Advanced classes. A wonderful model has patiently sat through all our shenanigans with slide projectors, glow sticks, flashlights, blinking footballs, mirror balls, glass globes, plexiglass, flapping velvet… OK, so my student with the glow-in-the-dark hula hoop still hasn’t brought it to class.  And I keep forgetting to levitate her. That means we still need to bring her back.

iPod Touch

We photographed her with an iPod for lighting. When one of my students get an iPad, we’ll be all over that.

Back Face

So we are doing our duty as art students and soldiering on through the minefields of art history. We even projected a slide of the Venus of Willendorf on her. That represents 25,ooo years of the female form. Well, it is nice to know that the female is still a wonder to behold.
