HERE IS YOUR SECOND WRITING ASSIGNMENT. I'M GIVING IT TO YOU EARLY SO YOU CAN START RESEARCHING ARTISTS IN YOUR SPARE TIME FROM THE GALLERY SITES BELOW:

Two Page Written RESEARCH and Written Discussion on One Artist, DUE MONDAY Nov. 9.

Write a two-page double-spaced, detailed paper on an artist of your choice that you research from one of the following galleries. Galleries are mostly in New York with one or two in LA and Berlin.

You must find an artist represented by one of these galleries that you are NOT familiar with. You must find an artist that has at least three reviews/feature articles and one interview, all of which you must have read along with looking at every image possible of their work. So you must Google the artist to find reviews and interviews. From this research, write a thoughtful and insightful paper on how this artist thinks and works. Find an artist whose work either relates in some way to your own, or whose work you would like to influence your work.

If the paper is not well written, an automatic F. (use the writing room) Remember, this is a research paper. Do the research, and make it thoughtful and insightful. Find an artist you will enjoy researching.

Quotes by E. O. Wilson, American biologist, theorist, naturalist, and author:

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.

Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.

If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.

Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

Kim Russo's (Ringling's new Fine Arts Chair) 5 Point Recipe for Success:

1. You have to be passionate.
2. You have to work hard and welcome information.
3. You have to be persistent and tenacious.
4. You have to network and make connections.
5. You have to have luck. But luck is recognizing an opportunity and having the guts to go for it.

WELCOME JUNIOR ARTISTS TO PAINTING III, FALL 2009

Dear Junior Artists,

WELCOME TO THE RINGLING FINE ART JUNIOR PAINTING-INTERDISCIPLINARY CLASS BLOG FOR COURSES: FA 371 FALL & FA 372 SPRING, PAINTING III & IV

This blog is where you will go regularly to see article, youtube, assignments posts, etc. A place also to comment on readings, process, ideas, breakthroughs, etc.

I hope you all had a great summer. Mine was exceptional.
I look forward to what you guys will be teaching me this semester. So don't hold back.

For day one:
BE ON TIME, and every class thereafter.
Come prepared to introduce yourself by briefly talking about your work to date: a favorite piece, process, or interest, etc. You may bring documentation or an actual piece if you like. Also talk about two or three artists you admire and why. This will get me a bit familiar with those of you whose work I don't yet know.

This will be your most productive semester to date, and the year you will begin to own your work like never before. Can't wait to witness and facilitate that!

-Bradley Wester, Visiting Artist Prof.
