It's almost as if Cal is ashamed of his artistic talents. "I have other interests, that probably pay a lot better. But I sure like using negative space in your class."
I think Cal is channeling his inner Kurt Cobain with that flannel shirt and tousled hair. How much you want to bet he also plays bass in a grunge band?
With all this talk about negative space, I was hoping Cal's notebook would be full of beautifully minimalist pure white pages inspired by the late Robert Ryman.
I finally got around to researching “negative space.” It’s an actual technique in art and design. Going by the what I read and examples I saw, Cal’s self portrait doesn’t seem to employ any negative space, despite Toby’s repeated use of the term. I suspect she boned up on a bunch of terms and is regurgitating them to impress her clueless students.
Tomorrow (or maybe Friday, yawn): Cal’s notebook will fall onto the floor and reveal his sketches of Ms. Cameron. Ooh!
Who tailed ye Ah hud tenure? Ah was ne’er able ta gi’ it efter the first Mrs. Cameron sued me fur abandonment and licentioos behavior wi’th’ future second Mrs. Cameron. An’ a demmed sham’ it is!
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.

Speaking of negative space...where's Wilbur?
ReplyDeletewhat a joke like toby knows anything about art besides hooking up with a old man with tenure and a pension
ReplyDeleteI hope Cal has created a Flip-Book of drawings of himself. Can't wait to see Toby's face when she gets to the last page.
