10/19 Lecture: John Thompson

From [Lauren Lee]


John Thompson talked a lot about his own artwork, which includes very ornate architectural fragments, but the main emphasis of his lecture was his studio. He gave plenty of advice as far as the studio goes. The first thing, like many others have said before him, was to really take advantage of the studio space that we as students have open and free for use. He then said that a studio should be somewhere that you can be yourself; it is your own "island". Thompson also said that it is very important to set aside work time and to make sure that everyone knows not to bother you at that time. He said that this investment of time really shows, and is therefore extremely important.
