Hybrid Design Applied To The Figure

The first image you see is the Venus of Willendorf, a small stone carving (about 4" in height). Dates to around 22,000 BCE. "The painting and carvings of the Neolithic period introduce themes into art that are still present in many cultures. Animals and humans still constituted a majority of the subjects that were represented, but they were often shown juxtaposed in such a way as to suggest that they coexisted in the same entity, either as a new, HYBRID form, or as a kind of spiritual guardian. Totems, or animal Gods, exist today in the religions of some native cultures, and are a recurrent theme in art everywhere." From Portrait History. Link here for more information.

Make Your Bed, Student Work, Fall 2010

Update, Summer 2012. Past assignments required student to replicate their own bed in miniature form. This assignment has evolved - rather than make your own bed, you are now making the bed that you visualize when reading Kafka's The Metamorphosis.
