Odd Nerdrum PAFA Work Shop 2010 (UPDATED)

Fellow Nerdrum geeks :) the Odd Nerdrum workshop continues into its 3rd (and last) day at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, my undergrad school. Among the people who signed on to the program, there are also spectators, visitors,mostly students.

A view of the Cast Hall, where I hope to have our wedding ceremony. All guests are required to complete a cast drawing, and there will be a group critic, before the drinks! lol!

I feel like I have a lot to say, but you'll be the judge for now.

PS: You, the person who stole Odd's painting rags, you should be ashamed, because you will not be able to paint better, and you have permanently damaged the trust between the visiting artist and art students :( Odd would have given it to you if you just ask. We know who you are. Why can't some people understand, admitting to something takes guts, yes, but how else can you fix something that otherwise would have been lost forever, like- trust? Now no one would leave their things out, fearing it would get stolen too. You can choose to come forward or leave the rags discreetly in the studio.

---I will not be posting very much for a while, due to personal schedules, but I promise I will return very soon :) Cheers!

  3. Tom, I see what you're saying and I am in total agreement, even though that was not the point of my intention. I'm sure Odd Nerdrum can afford to buy thousands more painting rags, and he probably didn't even realize it was gone. The point is- when someone steals something small and get away with it, they will eventually move on to bigger objects. In an art school where we have to leave paints, tool and other things out sometimes, I am sure you would prefer a environment where no one touches other people's belongings. If this person took Nerdrum's portrait, it would have been much more serious, but why does it always take that much for people to begin understanding the severity of dishonesty? That's just how I feel.
