Merchandiser Cover Letter

LONDON LONDON!

five years: it opened in 2005, right at the beginning of May, when I was leaving for New York, where I was then two months and where I re-started my artistic career took a course in engraving.
Now, as in NYC in 2005 and 2006 in Tokyo, I face a new move: I was in London last night, I reached GianLuca, which was relocated here for work from April until July. I resist and resist to Milan because of the sculpture course, but last week I had already tried to go to the English moors, but because of the Icelandic volcano and its cloud killjoy, my flight was delayed and so I left Milan yesterday morning.
St. Paul Cathedral
Here in London we live in the heart of the city, metro station "Monument", in a residence that I vaguely remember the one where we lived in New York, only the view, instead of giving up a beautiful park, is severely restricted the brick walls of the house next door, which Dister from our windows two meters as the crow flies.
Not bad, both at home and I'm not willing to stay!
Even today, despite a bit 'tired, I went around. Before and, for me, the canonical stage: Art Supplies store in Charing Cross Road, just behind Trafalgar Square. I bought a new stock of pencils and other things that will experience in the next few days (Sennelier pastels in this case, never used before but very attractive for their beautiful saturated colors).
Until Wednesday in Milan, I worked with a copy of the clay model: now the work is located in a semi final stage, in the future (when I return to Milan in ten days) will form in the plaster, but by the time I are a necessary stop to pause for reflection.

work until 28 April:
Scultura al 28 aprile 2010
In recent days I seemed to run dry, modeling: unplug and spend some 'time in another country I hope you will find the right vision to finish the job and, perhaps, make sense. Already Today I started looking for inspiration, I visited the National Portrait Gallery and contemplation of plaster busts coated in black bronze, bronze busts coated in white, and salt and salt of portraits and self carbonated me much!
There is also a Henry Moore exhibition at Tate Britain who go on pilgrimage in the coming days, which will add a new visit to the British Museum, to review the Parthenon frieze. Henry and I are Fidia gracious!

Ca Drivers License Template

strolling

For the past three weeks I'm working on a clay figure depicting the model Claudia. The work is progressing and regressing, progressing sometimes even regressing, sometimes leaps forward, sometimes reveals some insight, and sometimes' as deaf as a bell out of tune.
Porto patience, grit my teeth in front of the frustration in times of stagnation, where models, and models are always the first point, I praise if I think I hit it the tension of the posture, then I will lose 'to change it.
Last year I happened to see the movie "The mystery of Picasso, where Picasso was working on his movie while taking pictures for continuous construction and destruction, reaching a peak of beauty that satisfies him and urged him to continue to seek to amend, overwrite. Every now and Picasso looked toward the room and smiled, as if to say: "I care if I destroy, I always have time to paint, the next step will be 'different and better." Here, for my courage in this process I try to keep in mind that constant metamorphosis, in the belief that finding, after each moment of stalemate, a new and better balance.
Just to keep the memory of all these steps, not having a cameraman who films available ^ ^, I picture the progress of work at the end of each day's modeling.

April 14:
stato del lavoro al 14 aprile

April 15: I added the base and started sketching away
stato del lavoro al 15 aprile

April 20: we added the full armor for the arms, resulting in readjustment of the proportions of this study:
stato del lavoro al 20 aprile

April 21: The left arm has taken shape, and the right 'still only sketchy
stato del lavoro al 21 aprile

And still not' over!
Meanwhile, when the model off but the lessons are finished, I apply it to other works, such as:

coated with graphite and water - after a careful restoration of holes and defects forming - chalk with the face of Alessia I did in January:
Gesso patinato con grafite

work on a new portrait, this time male and bust, my colleague Desmond course (they are the first draft):
Busto di creta di Desmond

pose as a model for other colleagues for portraits, and finally draw.

pay for this tour de force pledge on the evening when I get home and fall asleep with the lights on, but then the next morning I wake up full of energy and thought only to return and resume work in the classroom 47. More 'energy you spend, the more' gains, that's true!

What Makes My Tailbone Burn

CLAUDIA's BODY - MAKING OF WORK

Today work began. A couple of hours of posing and modeling, the rest of the time of the day 'but in the past ringworm and rebukes by the professor, who at times seems insatiable (the base of the wood work, in particular, has attracted criticism varied , so I had to redo it or change it significantly at least four times ...) Anyway
Claudia - making of
, I feared worse: to copy from the truth of a body with clay and not 'too complicated: in fact, a good armor already solved' 40% of the work setting, with clay and then 'as if they designed it. And if there are also previous studies to guide the eye pencil, modeling becomes very pleasant, almost more 'likely to draw in pencil on the paper.
Claudia - making of
The copying process of modeling with clay is to build two profiles called "dime" (shapes), one front and one side, which intersect and create four quadrants. The profiles describe the edges and filling in the quadrants of the body is quickly obtained the first outline of the body, what you see in these photos.
Claudia - making of
Tomorrow we will continue with the clay, then follow the corrections of the prof .... hopefully good!

NEW SCULPTURE TO THE TAPES OF DEPARTURE

In the last two weeks (except Easter) the sculpture course we are working on a new job: being studied by our students and 'the body of the model Claudia.
Professor of Sculpture has chosen a pose for her, decided the job size (one meter) and made us a model to portray it 'more' it 'not as if they were to prepare the project to build a Home:

luckily nothing plant =) Once
finished designs, we proceeded to build the basis for further reinforcement and modeling clay. The armor, in particular, and 'quite difficult to put together, since you have to cut iron bars of a certain diameter, smartellare to bend the laying of the second model, nail them to the base and secure them with wire.
The armor has already ended for me 'its dignity' of work (but not in the prof.)

Finally, we had to prepare the space for action: moving easels and tables and other tables stacked to reach the right height work.

Tuesday 'we begin to shape, always taking as reference the model (which will continue' to keep laying in the middle of the classroom), but will guide us the designs that we have already 'done. In practical design and live in 3D on the clay.
