EasyEW posted:Does anybody else find it improbable that Luann's first college art class is a perfect storm of conceptual intimidation? Or did I miss the semester where she learned the fundamentals (figure drawing, sculpture, watercolors, etc. because that's how it happened to me*) before getting tossed into the deep end? Nobody should be asked to break the rules before they know what the rules are. It's really all dependent on the professor. My first semester of college I had a basic figure drawing class, beginners graphic design, and then some crazy Elements of Art class with an old, burned out hippie man. For one of my projects, I glued a muffin wrapper to a piece of paper and dropped paint on it. I got an A.

My sculpture professor's first assignment was for us to make clay sculptures of our greatest fear. Or, rather, not the fear itself, but 'the essence of that fear'. No instruction on forms or anything, just a big blob of clay and some water.

Not so much used wrapping paper, but I had a grandmother who would save all the color Sunday comics from the prior year, and use them for wrapping paper. It was a depression era thing, I guess. As a kid, I always thought it was pretty cool to be able to read the comics after opening the presents.

Tunicate posted:My sculpture professor's first assignment was for us to make clay sculptures of our greatest fear. Or, rather, not the fear itself, but 'the essence of that fear'. Actually, now that I think of it, my painting class had zero instruction as well. We were thrown in, shown how to prepare a canvas, and then expected to paint for 3 hours. I had no idea how to mix colors or blend anything and I was basically just burning what little money my college-self had on expensive tubes of color. However, I do believe this was because the professor was retiring that year and he gave zero fucks. Grades were given out based on cup-size, as I recall.

The stone carving group I sometimes attend starts people off with a lump of stone and a few minutes introductory "here's how to hold a chisel and not hammer your thumb", then you are left alone. But that's mostly so you can just get used to the feel of it before you start trying to achieve anything beyond "try and clean the crap off the surface". I could imagine it not working with most art forms. Is Evans' daughter an arts graduate? Is she even still involved?

Evans' daughter is a vice principal at an elementary school (unless she got a new job since then?). So most likely she has some education degree.

We can't throw it away!" And then she folds it up carefully and puts it aside and forgets about it and goes home and then we throw it out. goatface posted:My dad does that, then throws the paper away. I think he just enjoys carefully unwrapping things. Now, that I don't get. Ripping wrapping paper off a gift like some kind of unwashed barbarian is one of the joys of life. Boy! We're talking about Luann a lot, aren't we?  Luann   $7, huh? In art world dollars, she might as well be charging a wad of chewed gum. The Amazing Spider-Man   This cabbie is all right with me.

I keep wondering when it changed from "U-m-m-m-m" and "Oh-oh" to "Mmm-mm" or "Hmmm" and "Uh-oh" whenever they come up in the old comics.
