Draw it with Your Eyes Closed

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Draw It with Your Eyes Closed: the Art of the Art Assignment, is a unique and wide-ranging anthology featuring essays, drawings, and assignments from over 100 contributors including: John Baldessari, William Pope. L, Mira Schor, Rochelle Feinstein, Bob Nickas, Chris Kraus, Liam Gillick, Amy Sillman, James Benning, and Michelle Grabner. Practical and quixotic in equal parts, the art assignment can resemble a riddle as much as a recipe, and often sounds more like a haiku, or even a joke, than a clear directive. From introductory exercises in perspective drawing to graduate-level experiments in societal transformation, the assignment coalesces ideas about what art is, how it should be taught, and what larger purpose it might, or might not, serve. The book is a written record of an evolving oral tradition. Bringing together hundreds of assignments, anti-assignments, and artworks from both teachers and students from a broad range of institutions, Draw It with Your Eyes Closed serves as an archive and an instigation, a teaching tool and a question mark, a critique and a tribute."--Amazon.

Songs with Our Eyes Closed
Author: Tyler Kent White
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449486630
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Many of the poems included here are short and uplifting, with messages such as “be yourself,” “you are beautiful,” and “this too shall pass.” They combine the appeal of short, shareable poems with inspiration and encouragement. Also included are some of White’s lengthier prose pieces, which address his childhood, his relationship with his father, and past romantic relationships, among other things. Whatever the form, White takes inspiration from the everyday, writing about abstract topics like love, loss, depression, and resilience using concrete, relatable details and scenes. “Never apologize for burning too brightly, or for collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.” – Tyler Kent White

Seeing Through Closed Eyes
Author: Angelo R. La Pietra
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595403549
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
From the beginning, the basic element of the story that I have wanted to write about has been the Meaning of Life. But the story I started to pen has been the story of my life. For as long as I can remember, people have been telling me to write that story down. A contemplative blend of memoir and moral science, Seeing through Closed Eyes: A Memoir with a Social Conscience is an honest and provocative testament to the power of spiritual relativity and its ability to help attain meaning in life. Along with the subjects of passion, life, and death, author Angelo La Pietra explores the relationship of the uncharted subconscious and the complacent conscious. Seeing through Closed Eyes is based on La Pietra's unconventional life and focuses especially on peculiar dreams that have challenged his understanding of spiritual relativity. The unique personalities in La Pietra's dreams come unsought into his life, imposing their own agendas onto his. As you reflect with him on these visions, you will follow his journey through painful memory, impassioned seeking for meaning, and finally, a growing understanding of what life could be.
