Hey guys,
sorry this is going up a little later than expected. if you don't get to everything tonight, that's ok. we'll go over it in class.
our artist for this week is william kentridge. he is a south african artist who works primarily by taking photos of his charcoal drawings and turning them into videos. here are a few:

there's a large scale retrospective of his work that is about to open at moma. here's the website for that show:

this week we will be talking about narrative and the ability of drawing to tell a story. I'd like you to pay attention to how kentridge subtly implies narrative as well as creates full narrative structures through animation.

Wow, that was some really cool videos. I like how he can make things look so realistic through a animated style to an extent. I admire his ability to erase and use the same paper not worrying about the smudges. He really knows how to work with the charcoal.
