“But look at it,” Heinrich said to
the class. “It works. It’s almost a daring, in-your-face
sort of thing. Sometimes the rules don’t matter.”
In
between discussing the curvilinear aspects of the pieces
and the use of positive and negative space, Heinrich also used
them
as examples of lessons in education and business, two of
Dana’s
largest majors.
“
This visual is more interesting,” Heinrich told the
class. “As
students, it holds your attention longer.” Working
on a project rather than studying it is a good educational
technique
whether your a college sophomore or a first grader.
And then
there’s promotion, something Heinrich said is
important whether you are a young artist trying to break
in to the field or a small business trying to get by. “Getting
people to see your work is the hardest part. You just have
to keep trying,” he said.
The student’s work will
be on display in the gallery of the Madsen Fine Arts Center
on Dana’s campus in Blair,
Neb., through the month of October. Admission is free.
