Description

Renowned American artist Jim Dine teaches drawing (from male and female nude models) at the famed Internationale Sommerakademie fur Bildene Kunst in Salzburg, Austria. The method is rigorous: Models maintain one pose per week; students keep their easels in the same place and each day make a complete, well-observed drawing; then every morning the students have to erase their work and start again.The class (and the viewer) learns that the effort is not geared toward the creation of a finished product; it is the process that is all important -- an understanding that is both liberating and fortifying and designed to enable the student to look and to see.This outstanding portrait of Dine as an artist and as a teacher was produced by Richard Stilwell for Outside in July, Inc.
