DRAWING STUDIO


Egon Schiele

DRAWING STUDIO
What did you learn?
Learned how to take my time when I drew. I learned how use the correct technical skills when drawing. It was Albert Epstyn’s class

Did the class change your outlook on art? On life?
I feel like every time I draw anything from this point on I’ll be using the techniques he taught us and thus will be affected for the rest of my life.

Did you love the class?
Yeah, actually I do and I’m gonna miss it too. He starts the beginning of the year by scaring the crap out of you. 8 people dropped the class, but if you stick with it and get through the first few hellish weeks where all you here is obscenities and put downs, he shows his lighter side and it becomes easier. He’s a great teacher.

Did you hate the class?
I did at one point because ever since you were a kid, teachers aren’t supposed to draw on your paper. It’s not done and its offensive to the student if you ask me. You get over it quickly though and begin to understand that he’s just there to help.

Did the class change your mind about your possible major?
Yes, I Knew nothing about how incredible the communication course was until I heard about it in his class.

Did you make life long friends in the class?
Yeah, lots of good people on that class too.

Was the professor or the instructor engaging? Yeah that’s the main reason why I liked it.

Did you learn any sweet technical skills? Yeah, that’s the whole point of the course if you’re with Albert Epstyn.

Oh how I wish I had your enthusiasm for drawing, Seth. Alas, this is not true.

But I did enjoy looking at your old high school sketch book that time we were supposed to be paying attention in Time!

That chicken. Dunno why I liked that chicken so much but I did.

And Dou Ching...you should meet them. They're simply fascinating people.

It sounds like you were presistent and gleaned a lot from a difficult class. Way to hang in there!
