John Murray classes week of December 8, 2014


Next week is the last week of the Fall term.
I enjoyed working with all the artists who attended my classes and saw some exceptional work created in the NAC studio.
Think of a work that treats the existential fears that at core created all human holidays.
The Winter Solstice, for instance that gave us many ancient and Christian beliefs about mortality and rebirth.
Hanukkah, the festival of light, where the menorah burned for 8 days with only enough oil for one day.
Fight the darkness, in spite of the fact that we all eventually go into it again.
As artists we have a connection to the primal that other non-artists haven't developed.
Tuesday's Plasticity and the Postmodern Figure class will have a female model, Thea, someone with whom I have not worked before.
Thank you for supporting my classes and being resilient and powerful artists.
See you next week, John.
