Powerpoint for Art in NY class

1. Debra Pearlman’s
Children
Joe Pietsch

2. From Boston to Brooklyn

3. The Birth of “Pacifier”

4. Process
The artist works with
existing images. These
images, on their own,
invoke feelings such as
fear, sympathy, anxiety
and a sense of childhood
and innocence lost

5. Materialize
The artist seeks out
materials as a means to
shield the subject,
protect it from harm, or
mask any underlying
emotion. The result can
bring both positive and
negative feelings.

6. The image is then transformed,
manipulated…using raw materials that provide
texture and depth

7. By incorporating different textures to
the same photo, the artist will find
something new in each image

8. Double
Vision
The artist tends
to reproduce
images and lends
this technique to
a personal
affectation

9. “Double Cry”

10. Using the same
image and the same
media (glass) the
artist can create a
second, totally
different experience
from the first.

11. Another technique relies not only on
the image itself, but the projection of
that image.

12. House of Children

14. The artist captures innocence
with her camera

18. “Anniversary”
By using an
otherwise benign
image, the artist can
create something
that evokes a totally
different feeling than
what was originally
captured

21. Where is your eye drawn to first…the
knife or the child’s eyes?

22. The quest continues…
*Influences?
*New materials?
*Future of graphic arts?
*Future of the arts in
education?
