Images from a course I took 40 years ago
Dec 31, 2022 09:52:47 #
When I registered for art classes, photography mostly, at the NY School of Visual Arts, they required that I take a course in photographing the nude, and in clay sculpturing. I found many negatives from that time. I am scanning them now. The images have deteriorated a little, or don't scan as well as they printed at the time. I have males, females, combinations, african-american, white. They were shot on Ilford HP5 and Tri-X, all using just the studio's photofloods as light source.
We had a weekly shoot, then homework assignments as well as being required to bring in 5 full frame 8X10 prints. No cropping was allowed outside of the camera.
This was just a sort of snapshot showing the set-up.

You're lucky. Too bad I wasn't into photography when I studied art in college. Most of my actual sculptures and paintings from then are long gone.

I can't make out what kind of camera "John Lennon" is using there.

There were a lot of Hasselbads back then. I used a Nikon F2.

I didn't do it for a degree, I had already been a physician. It had to be in the 1980s. It was a jopint project with the New School at the time.

Must have just missed you, mid 70's at NY School of Visual Arts for me. If I recall, Abe Ressne (spelling?) was my dark room teacher.

I don't remember the names of any of the instructors. The person who taught the clay sculpture course was very tolerant of me. I also took a competitive religion course at the New School at the time, it was eye opening.

You sure did miss me, LOL. I was there in 1954-1956. One of my instructors was Jack Featherson, and one other was Bern Hogarth. It was quite a time. I also remember there was an Italian grocery store that made Hero sandwiches at 23st and 1st ave. We used to go there very often for lunch.. Other than the meat, I remember they had the best sweet peppers in the hero that were sautéed.

Wow, memories, memories, those were the days, we (I) thought they'd never end......haha.
P.S. I have never had sauteed sweet peppers like those ever again.
P.P.S. To make a long story short, in HS I did many, many anatomical illustrations, and I showed them to Dr. Francis Netter, (the foremost medical illustrator) and was told if I got 2 years of pre-med, he would take me on as one of his protege's. Stupid me, I didn't try for my pre-med.
