Some artists have drawn the parallel between this Italian master’s work and the fantastical, muscle-bound forms in comic books. But if any aspiring draftsman over the last 50 years has approached the rippling human anatomy in comics with admiration, he has come to Michelangelo’s work with awe. Besides relevant marketplace experience, I also have a B.A. in Communication from Southeastern University, an M.A. in Journalism and Media Studies from the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, and a Ph.D. in Communication from Regent University. My Ph.D. dissertation focuses on the mythic branding of Apple's Macintosh/Mac in their primary commercial campaigns (1984, Think Different, Switch/Real People, and Get a Mac). Example graduate courses such as Creative Approaches to Digital Media and Visual Storytelling have helped me when developing my own courses. It seems that if you surrender sufficiently to allow a simple pattern to imprint itself on your mind, an inordinate gift will blossom. At least, that is the promise of mastery. Commit to the tilts or the finger patterns – or for that matter to being the noodle – and you’ll achieve something that, if not exactly mastery, is at least an actual accomplishment, a happy patch, a bit of software that you had never had before. Having it now, however poorly you install it, makes yours an expanded and extended mind and body, a significantly different self than the one you were assigned at birth. Repetition and perseverance and a comical degree of commitment – simply the commitment both to recognise the absurdity of your effort and the sincerity of its goal – are disproportionately rewarded in the real world o

The human head and hands are the most difficult elements in figure drawing, but world-class illustrator Andrew Loomis’ classic primer offers the solution.

All Ribera’s other drawings were executed following his arrival in Naples, where he settled in 1616 under the protection of the Viceroy Pedro Téllez-Girón, 3 rd Duke of Osuna (1616-20), a key patron in Ribera’s career through whom he established long-lasting connections with the viceregal court.Schiele was maligned for some of his explicit drawings of underaged girls, but the dismissal of all his erotic art may be a mistake. Rubenstein points out that not everyone can accomplish the erotic successfully. Schiele’s art challenges through not only its subject matter but also in the positions of his subjects, the wandering lines that vibrate with tension and the boisterous colors he employed. Rembrandt van Rijn Woman Carrying a Child Down Stairs by Rembrandt, ca. 1636, pen and brown ink with brown wash, 7 3/8 x 5 3/16. Collection Morgan Library, New York, New York. “With simple gestures, movements and expressions, Rembrandt captured the dignity of everyday life—here, a tender moment between mother and child,” says Eitel-Porter, “though his portrayal is anything but ordinary.” The course provides introductory-to-advanced-level research and methodology instruction, covering topics from art and design theory to the use of technology. This course focuses in depth on various research methods currently used to inform the design process. It builds on knowledge and skills acquired in the first semester to introduce students to specific research methods for designers and artists. The course will cover research in physical human factors; human cognitive factors; cultural human factors; and ethnographic fieldwork. Students will learn how to apply these methods to the design process through hands-on projects requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Become the noodle!” he kept insisting and I soon learned that this meant to relax completely, go limp from head to toe. His constant talk, I decided, was intended to make you become the noodle by not allowing you to think too much. Arturo had me on the FDR Drive at rush hour before I had a chance to think about it.

Pupils should be taught to develop their creativity and ideas, and increase proficiency in their execution. They should develop a critical understanding of artists, architects and designers, expressing reasoned judgements that can inform their own work.
