Goya's Ghosts
For Goya fans out there this movie is a must see. It really serves to put his work into the context of the times in which he was living. Although if I am not mistaken in real life he had quite a large family, in this there is no mention of it.

I saw this. It was O.K. but I thought it was just a slice of who Goya was. Yeah,he had a large family. A friend told me of your blog so I have opened the screen door to look at your prints. Not bad. You seem to like to try all sorts of printmaking. Does your school have a big printmaking dept.? Any names I might recognize?
Unfortunately I do not completely agree with the management here, but the studio is designed to give a "quick and dirty" taste and only a taste of each kind of printmaking (it does lean more towards relief) Strict policy also makes it a fairly avoided place on the part of the students. The printmaking prof here is Peter Hoffer.
If I save enough pennies I was thinking of getting a college degree and learning what I don't know about printmaking and art in general. Do you know of a good school in U.S.A.?
UW-Madison and Iowa are both top rated schools right now. And as I understand it Lasansky former prof at U of Iowa and recipient of 5 guggenheims and an emmy is still hanging around there. The thing to remember though that it is not about other people's opinions of schools, it is completely about your own wants and needs, which is why visiting potential schools is an imperative. Its also crucially important to know yourself when making your decisions.
Some things to keep in mind are that 1. while private schools may offer more one on one time, due to the need to seduce private donors and potential students into giving them cash they tend to be more image related. What I mean by this is that they tend to be more concerned by how the building looks than how the student's work looks. Also the whole notion of image also tends to extend towards the students in terms of their behavior and way of dressing. 2. Another thing to keep in mind is that when you visit they will direct you to students to talk to, you need to keep in mind that they are directing you to the people that they feel will give the most positive feedback about them. This may be difficult, but I would recommend searching out the malcontents of the graduate dept.; the Hoffer was highly recommended to me by the girl I talked to, and I only learned latter that in five years time she had never had a class with him. 3. Also pay very close attention to the student work, student work is a direct reflection of the quality of the prof.
Again a lot of this depends on who you are as a person, I personally have come to understand that I prefer a printshop with more grit than squeek, and I that I like graduate departement where the students can actual put up stuff on their doors and do as they see fit inside their studios as well.
Also I would advise against a prof who spends more time lecturing you about pain and the need on your part to be vulnerable than what they spend actually talking about your work. Also if you see anything jaded or downcast on their part about the program don't go there.
That is a great deal to think about,but, I have the time. I have put about $7000 in the bank after 5 years of saving. In a couple of more years I think I will make the jump. Two of my friends are going to the state University in Minneapolis Minnesota. I figure if I can tag along with them for some events and things I might see if this school will work for me.

Well it takes up plenty of space in the building.
