Hello everyone,
I'm still waiting to hear from a few of you about your final projects. I understand the situation and will certainly accommodate students struggling during this period. If you haven't sent me your plans for the final project please do so as soon as possible.
If you're struggling with choosing artists. I'd like to suggest a few artists who work primarily with still lifes and interiors. Something all of us are seeing a lot of right now. If you’ve already sent me your final project proposal, then you’re good to go! However, I”m suggesting these artists to help those still looking for artists who can fit into their lives at this moment in time.

Of course we’re all Edward Hopper paintings now
Giorgio Morandi
So what do all of these painters have in common? They all worked from home. Now, in a time where a lot of are working from home due to quarantine and the coronavirus, I think these serve as good examples of painters who took the simplest, and seemingly most commonplace aspects of their lives and turned them into art. Let’s use this time to focus on what is right in front of us. Paint your room, paint the state of transition, or come up with a project that fits exactly where you’re at right now. As I said previously, I understand that many are still getting their footing, but lets push through this final project and make some documentation of where we’re at now.
Of course, if you’re working on your final major project already. Great! This email is meant for those looking for inspiration and guidance as to how to complete the semester and the final project. As always, please feel to contact me with any questions that you may have.
