Marla Olmstead, Child Artist
The child painter from upstate New York. It turns out that there is a documentary that came out this past fall called My Kid Could Paint That. Wikipedia explains the drama.
Artists mentioned in class
Tracy mentioned this artist, Molly Springfield. Her drawings are multi-layered in their point of reference- a drawing of a book which contains of a reproduction of a photocopy of a report, drawings of index cards with information obliterated, etc. Can anyone find a good piece of text about her?
I also mentioned Amy Adler, who takes photographs of drawings and then destroys the original.This is an article you may find helpful, though there are others on her site which I didn't read.
Janine Antoni is the artist who visited Wes last year. Her piece Loving Care is pictured here- we mentioned that she mopped or painted the floor using her hair dipped in dye.
Emma mentioned a show she saw in Boston at the MFA, Drawing: a Broader Definition. This exhibition includes works from the museum's collection which relate to drawing- mostly historical objects such as plates and vessels. The show is actually up until May 4th.

Andy Warhol book
Alex asked for a reminder of the Andy Warhol book we were discussing. It is The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (from A to B and Back Again.)
Dale Chihuly, glass sculptor
Dale Chihuly
Glass sculptor from Seattle that we were discussing
Article about the copyright lawsuit involving Chihuly and assistants who went on to make similar work.
Chihuly also founded an excellent school and residency program for glass, art and crafts in Washington called Pilchuck, which has a summer program you might be interested in.

Rauchenberg's Erased Dekooning drawing
Robert Rauchenberg's erased Dekooning drawing
After Clicking "start program," look for the link "What's the Big Idea?" That link has a good mini-film of Rauchenberg- he explains how he made the piece.

Painting Elephants and Cats
Painting Elephants
Amazing!
Painting Cats
Insane. Is this for real? My brother found this and thinks it is a hoax, but I'm not sure. This page doubts the reality of the cat artists, and links to some classic cat-making-art pages.

This is the HOAP2 robot, which has been written to draw- this page helps explain the visual analysis algorithm.
Beautiful little junk robots- take a look at the other things on his main page, including "Simple Drawing Insturments"
Art Robots made by Tim Anderson on YouTube. The artist discusses how the robot's "fake" intelligence, rather than real intelligence- getting a little bit into the difference between art made by a conscious entity and that made by a machine.
Something amazing about these.. they are from 1993.

Our Blog!
Greetings! I did it- hurrah. Not the coolest name for the blog, but it works. If you have a better idea, let me know. I'm going to post links for various things we touched upon on Friday, and I'd love for you to add anything else of interest to you. I'm wondering, do we open comments to people outside of the class? I look forward to your feedback.
