So, I've been watching Face Off
Mar. 14th, 2012 11:29 pmIt's got some of the fakey drama that all reality shows have, of course, but it also has something priceless.
These artists are given all the supplies they need, a tight time budget, and a challenge, and they create dreams from scratch. You get to watch as they're given the challenge, as they come up with a concept, and as they do the work to make stuff.
Then you see the results, and see the judges discussing what they like, what they don't, and why.
It's pretty cool.
I can tell the part of me that does art is learning from just watching, though exactly what I'm learning is not (so far) manifesting in words. It'll be interesting to see, next time I have time to bring out the paints or the sculpy, how these new thoughts affect my work.
