Loved this stream and especially the part of journaling to start with! The deep thinking and then researching to build energy before thumbnailing! You all inspire me!
Yes! Honestly, brainstorming & idea generation is probably my favorite part of artmaking. Besides holding the final image in my hands, of course! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I went with a theme a couple of times, not in a big way, I did a series of four vibrant pineapple still life oil paintings and four paintings based around red shoes in oils, with a kind of narrative, no one locally understood them when I showed them at small, group exhibitions, especially when most here exhibit seascapes and landscapes, they sort of stood out like sore thumbs, but I did enjoy painting them and the concept.
im not familiar with art series, but i do know in trading card games, they would release a series or archetype, and collectors would spend to collect the complete series. I think i can also relate to stamps where a drawing is separated into 2 or more stamps as a series, and again, collectors.
I really loved this conversation. I'm sad I missed the live stream! I love talking about working in a series. It was something I was teaching and discussing with my students how to do (but in doodle form). I've been doing a series of anatomical hearts that I started a couple of years ago but I haven't been able to really make much because of exhaustion and lack of quality time to devote to it. But since we've been under shelter in for the past three months I've started working on them again. I definitely have learned a lot about the heart and how it works (I only knew just the basics before starting) through tons of research. I just love working with it because I can see so much potential and I very well could be working in this series for a really long time.
We're so glad you think so! We have a few more tips on how to create series of work on our main site, feel free to check it out if you're at all interested: artprof.org/?s=series - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Great content, thank you guys! May I ask about the series of Clara? I wouldn't have known that it's supposed to be you in those paintings. I almost feel like you deliberately chose to not care about likeness but then also to create that specific woman that is recognizable from all the paintings?
The short answer is that I used the model as a “surrogate” for myself; the idea was that to be able to draw this experience, I had to take myself out of the situation so I could observe from afar. -Prof Lori
@@artprof oooooh I see, so there was a model 😂 of course there was, hehe 😏👌 now I can see that, I just thought I'd heard they were self portraits.. Greetings from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love this discussion, I've been journaling a lot about a subject for quite some time now. Would you say creating a series/body of work solely on aesthetic is amateur?
Not necessarily, but I think it's important to think through the options! This video, which asks whether art needs meaning or not might help you get started: ua-cam.com/video/m9Pu3eNVDjA/v-deo.html -Prof Lieu
Would you say that a series explores a theme? I am a new high school art teacher. I inherited a class called Studio Concentration. The description says they pick a theme for the year. I feel this means they can do a series on the theme, maybe even different series. I have to have them hone in on their theme this month. Any advice?
Yes! Usually a series has a theme that a student explores. I would give them time to come up with a theme and maybe do a one week trial to see if it’s viable for them. -Prof Lieu
@7:45 ...no.. The whole label of "Fine Art" is already shallow. I feel like its really a definition of people who perfect their craft. But why is "Craft" a "lower" definition in the art world?

I just adore Lauryn's sock paintings. There's so much life in them, especially in areas where the vibrant colors abut one another
All of the three series you showed tonight were awesome. I missed y'all ( live ) but thanks again for a thought provoking topic discuss!

I love the Orient Express illustrations!
🌚IT REMINDS ME OF ARTISTS, WHO READ A LOT, AND EXPERIENCETRUE EMOTIONS AND CONVICTIONS BASED ON SOCIAL AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
Omg I can't handle you guys in the chat with your sock puns!!!
Lauryn you do have the best sock painting though. Plus your socks are a lot more interesting than my white tube socks.

That’s great, good luck!! -Prof Lieu
I learn a lot with your videos, thank you for the time preparing these lessons and congratulations for your artwork! :)
Thank you very much!
One of my hurdles was deciding to paint different sizes in my series which features fine art for the gambler.
True-- I am always intimidated by the idea of painting large! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This helped so much!! It wasn't directed at me, but I'm so glad you suggested this in the discord

I might have been doing a series all along but did not realize it until now. I guess it can happen just because you go back to the subject matter.
This is a very helpful video, thank you for the nice convo!
Glad it was helpful for you! -Lauryn Welch, Art Prof Teaching Artist
