LIFE DRAWING
STUDENTS IN LIFE DRAWING BEGIN THEIR YEAR WORKING ON SHORT SKETCHES CALLED “GESTURE DRAWINGS.” THESE QUICK STUDIES HELP THE STUDENTS TO “SEE” THE FIGURE IN ITS ENTIRETY AS A SUM OF ITS PARTS. IN 30 SECONDS, 1 MINUTE, AND 2 MINUTE INTERVALS THEY DRAW THE GESTURE OF THE WHOLE FIGURE. AS THE CLASS PROGRESSES THE LENGTH OF THE POSE LENGTHENS. THESE PIECES WERE COMPLETED IN 10 MINUTE USING MARKER ON NEWSPRINT PAPER.

BEGINNING PAINTING & DRAWING
BEGINNING PAINTING & DRAWING STUDENTS START BY LEARNING VERY BASIC SKILLS, SUCH
AS CREATING STRAIGHT AND PARALLEL LINES, BALANCED ELLIPSES, AND CUBES. THEY THEN USE THESE BASIC SKILLS TO CREATE DRAWINGS FROM ACTUAL OBJECTS, TAKING CARE TO OBSERVE THE OBJECTS AS A WHOLE GROUP USING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE. THESE PIECES WERE CREATED WITH CHARCOAL ON NEWSPRINT PAPER.

Tessa Mania is a senior at The School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, where she is working on a
degree in fashion design. Her work as a fashion
designer focuses on sustainability, using all organic
and fair trade materials, as well as working with
socially linked products whenever possible.
Conceptually her work draws on her family’s own
history in the garment trade, while addressing
larger issues of labor and the contemporary
cultural value of hand made. The attached image is
of her junior collection which showed in May at
SAIC's The Walk annual fashion show, in downtown
Chicago's Millennium Park. Tessa spends most of
her summers interning in the New York fashion
world and plans on moving there after graduation.

THIS PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN ADDRESSING THE NOTION OF WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE QUEER IN THE US AND BEING FURTHER INTROSPECTIVE AS TO HOW BEING QUEER HAS MADE ME THE PERSON I AM TODAY. MY WORK ADDRESSES THE COMMODIFICATION AND MAINSTREAMING OF QUEER CULTURE, SELF-LOATHING AND SUBVERSION OF SEXUALITY, AND THE BEAUTY OF CAMP.
