‘escaping the norm’<\/em><\/p>\n

Just finished up my Friday night beginning type course – and final projects can take any form. Last night, Christopher Gianni-Embrey showed up for class with an old computer monitor.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a recent viewing of The Shawshank Redemption,<\/a> Christopher visualized the word ‘escaping’ using Morris Fuller Benton’s<\/a> Bank Gothic.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Not on screen, but in<\/em> screen.<\/p>\n

The final piece was Christopher’s first ever attempt at model making. It was crafted from mostly found materials. As he put it, ‘driving around town, there’s a lot of stuff people throw away.’<\/em><\/p>\n

In the process, he ended up with a bunch of dead computer monitors – just in case the first attempt didn’t pan out.<\/p>\n

My next Friday night type course is scheduled for Fall 2011 at American River College.<\/a> Course number: ARTNM 303.<\/p>\n
