John Murray classes week of November 9, 2015

Work with an image that you find in a newspaper... 
For instance a war scene (always in the media historically) see above Manet's "Execution of Maximillian"
Winslow Homer was a newspaper illustrator during the Civil War
Any picture that interests you as a thinking artist
A transfer is fine also but use a painting approach as part of your canvas surface
See Rauschenburg for reference on this his "Combines" incorporated transfers from the newspapers
Don't forget the method and plasticity of your approach... get beyond content and into art-making
See you next week john
