Draw By Night #19 - Whoa Nellie
What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Digital Design instructor Myron Campbell, you turn those ingredients into Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party. At Draw By Night (drawbynight.notsosimpleton.com) artists can work collaboratively on pieces, or by themselves on their own section. The only emphasis is on getting everyone drawing. Participants are encouraged to use Twitter or other social media to discuss the event and post pictures, allowing real-time engagement with the drawing community.

In the Typography course, Digital Design students are asked to "bring the characteristics of a typeface to life". Karen Poon chose Caslon Pro, a typeface created by William Caslon back in the 1700's. He created the typeface with short ascenders and descenders promoting a high contrast shape of the letters. Karen felt this contrast created a a neutral typeface that was perfect for telling stories. And what do most stories have in common?” The narrative arch — exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement.
To make this typeface more tangible, Karen laser cut wood letters to make them tactile. She then positioned them as props in natural settings to bring her narrative to life.

As part of the Term 5 elective, Experimental 2D Graphics, we spend one entire class in a room with no computers. We bring all sorts of materials together like paint, magazines, pencils, markers, and glue. Each student uses all these materials to create hand-made textures to scan-in for later use in their digital work.
This exercise is one of many that suggests that not all answers to visual problems lie behind your computer screen. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty!

Then, our student, Dalhi Guzman Inzunza, presented his paintings and unique graphic compositions done at VFS. Finally, Boca (Marcos) Ceravolo, our alumni who specializes in motion, showed the students his latest project, ‘MTV Brazil’s 2011 VMB’.
