Following on from the success of
last year's class, a few weeks ago iskm founder, Zev Jonas, was asked to
return to the Still-Life: Objects of Desire and Disgust
undergraduate class at the
School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York. The class was made up of thirteen students,
representing diverse styles and approaches to their art making.

You may recall that the class is taught by Keren Moscovitch - of Photographer Series #3 fame - with the course work breaking down the genre of still life into
multiple sub-genres like 'Death and the Grotesque', 'Commerce, Consumption and
Wealth' and 'Portraiture, Landscape and the Body'. This was done in order to
explore the entire classification of 'Still Life' art while starting to
evaluate work from the perspective of its qualities and how it functions.

As part of the final project each student was asked to create images for www.ishotkatemoss.com. This year, Zev was asked to join in an initial conversation with the students and assist in the formation of their ideas. The discussions in
class as to the role of still life, the project and kate specifically were
active, informed and insightful.
Then, towards the end of April, each student's work was presented to the group and critiqued. To
do honor to the students and their work, it was felt that each
participant
deserved their imagery to be highlighted. So over the coming weeks, in
addition
to each student's work being added to the iskm collage, they will have
their
submitted images featured with some additional information about where
you can learn more as to what they are creating outside of the
classroom.
So for your viewing pleasure over the coming weeks, keep an eye on the blog as we feature each student's work. And just like these wonderful artists from SVA ...
Observe. Slow Down. Shoot. Submit.
