Adults advanced drawing class October

Students were given an image of Franz Kline's 1961 painting 'Corinthian II' and instructed to reproduce it on a wall to scale, but using their own 'fillers'.  They had to come up with on the spot, intuitive marks to emulate Kline's approach to his painting.  

The result was a great stop-frame animation.  Here are some stills from that class:

PLOT SYNOPSES

Fanciful comedy - French w. English subtitles. Run time 122 mins. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jennet 2001.
Starring Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus.

As a child Amelie is misdiagnosed with a heart defect, so she grows up without much real life contact with others and develops her own fantastical sense of love, beauty and justice. After finding a lost treasure she embarks on a journey of secretly transforming others’ lives with hilarious consequences.

Chocolat

Comedy-drama. English. Run time 121 mins. Directed by Lasse Hallström, 2000.
Starring Juliette Binoche, Judi Dench, Alfred Molina, Lena Olin, Johnny Depp, Carrie-Anne Moss.

1960s France: Vianne Rocher and her pre-teen daughter move into a conservative town and open a chocolate shop just as lent is beginning. They are met with skepticism and resistance by most of the townsfolk, and shake up the rigid morality of the community even more when Vianne takes up with Roux, the leader of the river drifters. As Vianne begins to work her magic and help those around her, the townspeople are soon won-over by her exuberance and her delicious chocolates - except for the mayor, who is determined to shut her down. Based on the novel of the same name by Joanne Harris. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It was also nominated for eight BAFTAs, and four Golden Globes. Judi Dench won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance in the film.
