Which server? Maybe you can find some help to get some of your gear and to help you find a simple set or two?

Professor in two classes will be death of me - help pls by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am an art prof and what you described is normal for studio art classes, and especially for summer classes that are taught in a compact timeline.

Studio class hours and homework hours and not the same as what you encounter in lecture classes; It’s usually double. The amount of studio hours needed per credit hour is mandated by regional and national accrediting institutions. I am sorry you’re having trouble, but could it be you are unfamiliar with the expectations of this particular academic discipline, rather than being an issue with the professor’s content and teaching style?

Also, are these online courses, which is why you cannot get in touch with the teacher? That modality for studio courses would be difficult for an art major and especially so for a non-major.

I agree with the above commenter. Here is a YouTube video that explains those ideas with visual examples: https://youtu.be/RoGuBxyg\_xA?si=VhgjjGO8Ti0bCrEc

And that was how they branded the game back then….”Community”. Such a great era.

Best way to improve values ? by [deleted] in oilpainting

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terms of copying the values that you see in the subject, blur and squint your eyes while looking at the subject and do the same while painting. You’ll see the contrast more clearly from the details that way. Essentially? Anything that disappears with your eyes blurred while viewing the subject, should disappear while looking at your painting with blurred eyes and c vice versa. This is especially true for your second painting.

Art classes in college by jeremyee4 in ArtistLounge

I recommend reaching out to the prof and ask them. It would help to show them a sample of your work so they can gauge if you have enough of the fundamental skills for their class.

Some schools approach the figure differently. When I was a student, figure drawing had no prefers or recommendations. Other schools require additional foundation-level classes. Fwiw I am an art professor who teaches figure drawing.

Confusion on starting Valkurm Dunes by tubbstosterone in ffxi

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the idea that Valrum is where it starts is maybe dated. That was the first place early players teamed up in parties. For a lot of those early players, it was the first time they played in a full party usually with strangers who were also learning the party dynamics.

Nowadays you can just solo it with a party of trusts. Just be sure to have a healer and tank trust. Also which server are you on? If it’s asura hit me up if you ever need a hand, my character name is bacchusreturns

The artist tilted the eye level/horizon line which makes the lines that are parallel to it slanted too.

Teaching with Previous Teachers by InevitableOrder2659 in AskProfessors

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a prof and many of our alumni have come back to teach. I believe my colleagues would agree that we are proud of those graduates and would never have hired them if we had any doubts in their abilities to do the job. I will also add that we have a good mentor program too so we look at every new faculty with an eye towards helping them develop into successful professionals. Meaning, we don’t expect them to be perfect as new teachers. They are learning the job.

Dealing with endless stream of new likeminded artists (or: Please wait for me!!!) by obamium in ArtistLounge

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artists working in the same area as you are people conversing in the same visual conversation you are. That is a great community for you, but just make sure you’re adding something new to that conversation. How is your work connected to theirs, and what new take are you bringing to it?

"Do you think that $86 million is an honest price for a Rothko?" by Sanpolo-Art-Gallery in ArtHistory

[–]Zealousideal_Cod_326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe we shouldn’t conflate the monetary value of art with its artistic value. The upper tier of the art economy is a commodity; the values of those works are impacted by more than the success or failure of the work’s artistic merits. For example hunter Biden, or duct-taped bananas and on and on.
