12" x 12" Scrapbook Page
I've thought about doing a page about being an art student for a while. This summer my son, Ian, took a couple of art classes at Tyler School of Art. That's where my husband and I met (and fell in love). Being back on campus brought back a flood of memories. How wonderful it would have been to have had a digital camera back then. Even though my husband, John, graduated with a photography degree, we don't have many photos of our time at school. Film was expensive.
This page took a few days to work out the layout and figure out how to add all the details I wanted. It fell into place when I decided to make a mini paper portfolio to hold photos of the paintings I had in my BFA show and I made a mini sketch book (I even stitched the pages together) to hold pictures of the campus. We took the campus photos on my son's last day at his classes. Link to the Pencilfish blog to see Ian's summer art work.
I feel older (like exactly twice as old) and a bit sad that Tyler will be moving to it's new location in the Spring. We overheard the instructors say the new building is gorgeous. We hope to go to an open house to see it this fall.
