As i’m slowing trying to better structure and add to the blog and its content, i thought i’d add to Eye Candy Monday by ending the week with A Site 2 See Fridays. Love it? Hate it? Other suggestions? As always I’m very open to advice and suggestions on how to make the blog better for you guys, the readers. I’m hoping to expand on Mondays gorgeous images and context with posts on fridays leading you to interesting blogs, galleries, podcasts, videos, craft writing, etc.
If you have ideas or would like to promote your own work, website, event, organization please feel free to drop me a line at [email protected]. I always try my hardest to get back to everyone. If you don’t see your content live on the blog in a reasonable amount of time, feel free to write again and bug me, sometimes things get lost in the spam folder or in my messy life : )
So for today’s A Site 2 See please check out the figurative work of Jill Marleah Bell on her blog Jill Bell Ceramics: Ceramics, drawings and all round nice girl.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: AUGUST 25, 2010
International Exhibit Featuring the Human Head
Full-color catalog produced. 
We consciously and unconsciously categorize identity based on the human head. It is, for most people, their social thumbprint, the ‘I’ in first person statements. Technology exacerbates people’s retreat into the upper limb of their body, encouraging portraiture on a mass scale in the form of social networks such as Facebook, facial recognition tools which help sort photos of friends and family based on images of their face, and video conference calling. Some say even the soul has migrated from the central chest cavity all the way up to the head, as if altitude were really divine. While the body is still not expendable (yet), the center of humanity has nevertheless coalesced into the mind, behind the face. When we think of each other, we usually start with the head first. So to launch Manifest’s seventh season we offer this call to artists for works that address the human head in some way. While portraiture is certainly welcome, this is not intended to be a show exclusively about that genre, nor just the front of the head. All manner of interpretations, explorations, and machinations involving the human head are welcome. For details on how to submit visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/headfirst

FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE: REAL LIFE TO INSPIRE ART
Instructor: Sharon Moore-Foster
July 12 to July 16, 2010
Experience Level: all skill levels welcome
Course Fee: $525 + $26.25 GST
Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm, Room 954
Working from a model, you will learn techniques to accurately create figurative sculpture. You will begin by creating gestural clay pieces from short poses, to help you develop an eye for the “life and breath” that makes figurative sculpture such an inviting challenge. Longer poses will follow, with directed observation of anatomy, proportion, sculptural shape, and balance will allow you to create more detailed pieces. Throughout the week you will experience drawing for sculpture and receive individual guidance on form and expression, sculptural dynamics, surface handling and closure of your pieces.
