So you want to be an architect – Part 3

Hi. Im Doug Patt and this is So you want to be an architect. A seven part series about the profession of architect. This is part 3. What does an architect learn? Architecture is an amazingly complex field and an incredible education in itself. Theres a lot that goes into any building and the architect should know their way around every inch. The architect also needs to understand people and for that matter society. So lets take a look at some interesting opinions about the spectrum of subjects an architect learns about in a lifetime of practice. Plutarch, a greek historian and writer once said, Philosophy is the art of living. Architecture surrounds us all and in a way dictates or reflects our way of life. Weather its a TeePee or a mansion, buildings represent what we believe is truth. Mark Twain said, clothes make the man. Naked people have no influence in society. This is funny but also true. Just as we need clothing, we need buildings that clothe us. The sociology of man is reflected in our buildings in what we believe, how we work and how we live. Albert Schweitzer (1875 – 1965) once said, Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile. Now we all know weve got good sides and bad, but the reality is the psychology of man is manifest in architecture from prisons to massive stadiums. We make what we need to accomodate who we are. Stephen Nachmanovitch a musician, author, computer artist, and educator once said, Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one’s chosen form. Material Science is a critical part of the architects repetior. Were free to choose our palate, but it must be chosen wisely. From the challenges that natural forces impose to the possibilities of all things unique. Henry G. Stott once said. Enineering is (the art of organizing and directing men and) controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race. Although architects dont have to be engineers they must think like one as well as understand in the engineering principals behind the calculations. Albert Einstien said, Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. This is no doubt true when it comes to the calculations of an architect. That being said, all buildings are described in numbers in order to be constructed, making mathematics a cornerstone of architecture. George Croly, an irish preacher once said, All history is but a romance, unless it is studied as an example. The quote implies that one must truly understand history in order to make it more than an idea. architects must also know their history of both art and architecture. They do this in order to make it a part of the work they are doing as well as part of making great work. Noelie Altito once said, The shortest distance between two points is under construction. Simply put, Most of the architects career is spent during construction and this is where the architect can learn the most. And finally, Frank Zappa (1940 1993) said, Art is making something out of nothing and selling it. While the quote is a bit tongue in cheek this is what architects do. Only their art is architecture and at the end of the day its all about making something out of nothing. Using their creative skills to sketch, draw, paint, model, render, create and design. So, if your wondering what you might learn as an architect, its probably about Philosophy, Sociology, psychology, material science, engineering, mathematics, History, construction, and in the end making something out of nothing. So thanks for checking out so you want to be an architect, part 3. Im Doug Patt. See you next time.

The Great Contemporary Art Bubble Trailer Documentary by Ben Lewis

Ben Lewis’s new documentary ‘The Great Contemporary Art Bubble’ You can now buy this film on DVD from my website www.benlewis.tv

It investigates the reasons behind the boom and bust of contemporary art.

The Great Contemporary Art Bubble
BBC Four. Monday 18th May. 9.00pm.

The last five years have seen an unprecedented craze for contemporary art. Contemporary art prices rose by an average of 800% while works by Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko sold for record-breaking prices of £30 million plus.

Art critic and film-maker Ben Lewis spent 2008 following the contemporary art market; travelling to art fairs, auctions, museums and the offices and homes of billionaire art collectors. He spoke to dealers, auctioneers, gallery-owners, art market analysts and art collectors trying to find out the reasons behind the greatest rise in the value of art in history.

He says: I didnt like what was happening in the contemporary art marketMuch of the art was mass produced, repetitive and commercial. Collectors bought it for investment and stored vast amounts of it in warehousesAnd the special privileges our society gave to art and artists were being exploited by some of the worlds richest people to make yet more money.

Everywhere Ben went he was told the contemporary art boom would go on forever fuelled by a new passion for art from the worlds super-rich. But he found other reasons for the boom unusual market practices, speculation, secrecy and tax breaks involving the whole art world.

It all climaxed on September 15th 2008 when Damien Hirst sold over £70 million of his art in one day. On that same day Wall Street bank Lehman Brothers collapsed triggered turmoil in global financial markets. One month later the art market crashed dropping by 40% in November 2008 and 75% by February 2009. It is still falling today.

Ben says: The contemporary art market had a speculative dynamic of its own thats why it kept on going while other markets crashed. Great works of art are still being made todaybut the Great Contemporary Art Bubble will surely go down in history as the epitome of the vanity and folly of our age.

Drawing Heath Ledgers Joker, The Dark Knight, Nathan Wyburn

READ: Here i draw The Joker with Boldmere Graphite, played by the late Heath Ledger in what i belive is the greatest comic book movie of all time, The Dark Knight.

I drew a very rough faint outline before recording to prevent any major mishaps while recording. I decided to add red paint over the smile of the joker, to add to its effect. Its not meant to be precise and neat, its meant to just be rough over, like the jokers real make up.

Speed Drawing both hands same time ! theportraitart

practice vid link:

definitely one of my most difficult project, the idea was just too interesting to not give it a try
————————————————–

the approach

Since it is next to impossible to focus on two things simultenously, it is however, possible to always keep both hands moving…

I make sure one hand knows how and where to move for the next few strokes while I focus on the other hand, making rapid and constant attention switching. Sometimes when one of my hand is about to draw something difficult like a specific curve, i would move my other hand to draw something simple like filling an area with shade that needs repetitive strokes. This way I manage to keep both hands moving while alternating focusing on each hand in rapid succession. (for example when i was drawing Morgan freeman’s mouth with my left, i move my right hand to draw the Tim’s hair since it requires much less attention and accuracy, in fact for most the video when one hand is doing something defining the other is doing shading )

This approach allow me to finish two portraits in way less time than the time I would spent drawing two consecutive portraits with my dominant hand… and it is cool to look at, just pretty tiring when making it, after a hour of constantly switching attention I do feel a little crazy..
