Come at me, Finals.

Three weeks from tomorrow, and this semester will be finished. Our BDS project is going just swimmingly. We're still playing with paper. Which is fun, it makes me feel like a sophisticated five year old. I'm actually making decent progress though, still lots more to be done.
My drawing final was assigned yesterday. It's going to be a ton of work. Final Project: Pick an artist between the Renaissance and the 1940s. Create exact replicas of three of their pieces. Then, create three pieces that look like they belong to that artist using their same style, medium, and subject matter. Restrictions and requirements: Replicas must be done the same size as the originals. Pieces cannot use color. Any drawing medium is allowed. Artists may be more recent than 1940, depending on the artist and their work.
I chose Arshile Gorky. He got his start in the 1930s. He pulls from a variety of genres in his work. They are largely abstract drawings, with expressionist and cubist influences. However, a handful of his pieces have photorealistic qualities to them. He works with a lot of pencil and ink, which is right up my alley. As intimidating as this pieces is, I'm really looking forward to jumping into research and pushing myself to learn his techniques.
