STEPHEN J SHANABROOK works in a disparity, a space of unexpected associations, altered perception and exsquisite entropy. In all his undertakings, there is the process of evisceration and a search within process for a different aspect of beauty. Abstracted upon the experience of daily reality, his inveterate and mysterious works leave one with an intensely evocative, sometimes disquieting, yet ultimately peaceful sensibility.
Homework: Bring to class as many "large canvases" of the human face as reproduced in current periodicals (ie magazines). If you want to try your hand at practicing some more on the fine art of folding, ala Mr. Shanabrook, please feel free and bring in those samples of your work as well.

alrighty.
ReplyDeletesounds easy enough.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder who the person that wrote this was trying to impress. All they had to say is that it is different.
ReplyDeleteYeah. If wrote it, I would just say that he makes cool pictures look wierd by folding an crumpling them up.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be ostantatious. But thats how it seems from the large words he used
ReplyDeleteIn class to day I was folding up paper and Mr. Hoban decided to come up behind me and kick my chair for some reason. I then call him Picaso because he started his daily ritual of complaining about something im doing wrong. Today I folded up an actor's face out of a New York Times Magazine to try and mimic Stephen J Shanabrook's art
ReplyDeleteyea, it makes so much more sense once translated into smaller words.
ReplyDeleteToday in class we folded more pictures people, we came up with some different methods such as crinkling the paper instead of making straight folds. It was lots of fun.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed folding people in magazines today in class its very entertaining!!!
ReplyDeleteToday I folded pictures of people in different ways. The shapes that I can produce are really interesting. It's a really fun activity and innovative art.
