Applicant’s Name: <\/strong>
\nJeffrey Werner
\nList four contemporary artists, designers, or illustrators whose work you admire, and explain why:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Joseph Müller-Brockmann<\/a> – Müller-Brockmann’s intuitive grid systems, simple geometry and his use of concise, high-impact image and type in public and commercial poster work offers me a reliable set of tools and practices I continue to draw on as I study and practice design.<\/li>\n
  2. Andy Goldsworthy<\/a> – Goldsworthy’s use of nature as a medium\u2014working with found rocks, vegetation\u2014inspires me: art is possible anywhere, it does not require special tools or supplies. Because of his work’s transitory nature I am reminded to avoid pride and sentimentality for my own, and to continually create new art.<\/li>\n
  3. Mowry Baden<\/a> – A Victoria sculptor and art professor, Baden’s public commissions disregard expected cultural art norms and are thus very controversial with the general public. I admire how he pushes the boundaries of public taste yet maintains a position of hesitant respect that continues to garner public funds.<\/li>\n
  4. Chris Ware<\/a> – I admire Ware’s strong sense of graphic design, his incorporation of information and diagrammatic forms in mature storytelling settings within the more traditional comic art form. I take lessons from his attention to detail and the knowledge one should have of his own art form’s history.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why do you wish to attend the Idea Program at Capilano College, and what do you expect from your education:<\/strong>
    \nI’ve no doubt IDEA’s emphasis on life drawing and painting will create a needed base for developing and informing my work beyond my currently narrow technical design skills. I expect my IDEA instructors and peers to challenge me to the point of tears. I am optimistic both these elements will fashion in me a practical methodology for developing coherent ideas, plans and final products to meet real-world (paid) design demands. More importantly, I’ll feel more confident under my own self-scrutiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
