In one of my classes, I ask my students to create a scratchboard self-portrait. I decided it was time I made my own. It’s a great exercise to practice my skills. It’s been about 20 years since I’ve “self-portraited”. Thankfully, I’m pleased with the result.
I enjoy working in scratchboard. Thinking of what else I can create in this medium besides portraiture.
Hey there. Yes, I know it’s been a while since I made a post. That’s because my work schedule is jam packed. Finding a free moment to post has been difficult. This semester I am teaching five classes at two universities and it’s kicking my ass.
I’m presently teaching three different classes at Kennesaw State University (KSU); Drawing I, Drawing II, and 2D Design/Color. I’m also teaching two sessions of Observational Drawing at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). That’s quite a load. 80 students total.
As it is with writing and posting, finding a free moment to work on my art has been difficult. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my current studio work. Hoping to post more often too.
In the meantime, here are a few pictures from my Observational Drawing classes at UTC.
More proud professor moments. The last gallery for this school year.
The 2021-22 school year in complete. Summer break is here. Time to show off the best work from my drawing students at Kennesaw State University. This year I taught Drawing II, all three classes, both semesters. Here are some amazing details from the best work I received this school year. Some of these students made truly incredible drawings. As always, I’m so proud of them when they can combine their hard work and talent into something of excellence.
