In general, I like to organize blog posts by units of study the artists at South B are entertaining. However, by this time of year there are so many different things happening that it’s easier to just write about all the stuff that's happening. So here is a post dedicated to stuff and things... but mostly stuff.

For this unit we took a look at how artists often create work in a series. Examples included Monet and the haystack,  Kehinde Wiley and his portraits, and Tara Donovan and the plastic cup.  Artists create these series by either using a common medium, a common theme, style or even a common pallete.

The artists at South b were asked to create (at least) three works of art to create a series. Here are a few of the works in progress.

For this unit, we took a look at a few contemporary concepts that are explored by today's artists. These postmodern ideas such as juxtaposition, using text as an element, and incorporating unique materials allow the artist to explore avenues beyond the traditional.

Here are a few of the works produced by the artists at South B in response to this unit.
