Final Review 2013

Result:

Submitted: Not Approved

Committee Comments to the Student:

Jacob's project consists of three different areas: Military Honor, American Pride and PTSD. The expressive paintings done for this last section are strong and provocative. We encourage Jacob to keep exploring in that area, and we envision him exhibiting these. In the other two areas, there is a bit of inconsistency that we'd like Jacob to correct before we can approve his project. While working on his graphic or iconic work, he needs to make sure there is tighter precision in his application. Lines and shapes need to be crisp and even. Attention needs to be taken with the symmetry of the banners. The shadows are also often too black and empty. While a flat color treatment is fine, the black is often too heavy and has a smothering affect on the image as a whole, particularly the image recognizing the Girl Scouts. One suggestion would be for Jacob try drawing just the silhouette of the entire image, making sure it is clear and interesting, before describing the individual components.

We'd like Jacob to show again next semester. In preparation we are asking that he redo 6 pieces. Primarily from the Military Honor, we'd like those with figures: the Woman and anchor, the horse/man with emblem, and the black and white soldier with yin/yang symbol. For these Jacob needs to photograph reference to work from, as the figure proportions are inaccurate. He should show all reference or photographs taken for these in his next review. We'd also like him to redo 3 from the American Pride series, focusing on consistency with light and shadow.

These are the Six being revamp for next semester
