Emil Lukas Studio Visit Marie Strock

1. What do you feel was the most interesting or significant aspect of this discussion/presentation?
I believe the most interesting thing was the way that the artist presented his work in the studio, and the unique qualites of the works, each piece seemed to tell a different story. The fact that each of his works had some sort of history behind it, it wasn't thrown together in five minutes.

2. What was the most unexpected thing seen or discussed?
Definitely the larvae. The way that the paintings were presented as certain line qualities could only be achieved by using this method.

3. Can you imagine yourself in the profession? If so, what do you like most about it? If not, why?
I certainly hope so, that is the reason why I chose the major that I did. It's a great feeling to meet with other artists of all different styles and ideas and to gain experiences like these trips. It gives a whole new perspective on a lot of old ideas and possibilities.

4. Additional observations and comments:
The fact the artist was so willing to discuss the necessities of trial and error and what to expect was a great thing to hone in on, with new objectives to explore and different places. Traveling is a great way to experience new environments and something I would love to do in the future.

  2. Marie,
    Yes, great things can come from studio visits. Among other things, it tells that we're not alone in this crazy thing called "art". I hope you can/do travel someday. It's like vitamins for your artwork.
