This week, Monday, through Thursday, for 6 HOURS each day, I took the entrance exam for the Accademia. The first day was still life, second was figure, and the third and fourth days they gave us a theme and we also had to do a blow up of the design. I chose a project where I had to design a mural for a hotel lobby/reading/drinking room with red chairs and vending machines. It was very long, and very tiring.
There were plenty of international students in the testing rooms, but all the directions were given in Italian. Luckily we met with Marsha each day after the exam, so she was able to tell us what was going on.
Here are links to photos of the stuff I made during those 24 hours of testing:
DAY ONE: My still life (tempera, 50x70 cm)
DAY TWO: Figure Drawings:
- 20 minute pencil sketch
- 4 or 5 hour charcoal drawing
- 15 minute ink sketch
DAYS THREE AND FOUR: Mural project:
- design
- blow up #1
- blow up #2
Everyone else in the program had great work as well! I'm so happy to be done and the results will be out by this week or next week.
