Presentation

i think we could do the presentation in question and answer mode. the title could be like "What was Audrey Flack's Childhood like?" and then we could write a paragraph or two about it and recite it. we could also have a few pictures. :)

Ok... So let's start.

__Early Years__

__Education__ __Artwork__ __Obstacles__
 * Audrey flack was born in New York in 1931.
 * She went to the Music and Art High School in New York City. She went there because Audrey always preferred drawing and painting to academic subjects, even as a child. With her father's encouragement she began her training at the school.
 * She graduated from Cooper Union in 1951 and from Yale in 1953 with a Bachelor's with Fine Arts.
 * She went to Yale and recieved her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1952.
 * Audrey Flack was the first photorealist painter to have her work in the collection of the Muesuem of Modern Art in 1966. She was a photorealist painter who worked on people and their emotions. Other photorealist painters usually worked on still life.
 * Audrey also started to sculptures of women to show their importance to the world. She began sculpting statues in the 1980's.
 * Self-Portrait is called: __We Are All Light And Energy__ She painted the portrait in 1981
 * She observed under bright artificial light ordinary objects seemed larger, more colorful, and more 3-Dimesional then they really were.
 * She used her own style of drawing when she studied realistic pictures and add her own touches to create a very realistic painting. She used sharp colors and made sure the images looked clear just like a picture with lots of highlights (from the artifical light) and few dark spots. She used an airbrush with various colors to blend with the other colors.
 * Audrey Flack's super realistic style of painting seems to have anticipated, or predicted, today's fansination with high-definition computer images that are brighter and sharper that real life.
 * Audrey also did sculpting as well as photorealism painting.
 * Women students who wished to be professional artists weren't taken very seriously, and Audrey had to be very determined to withstand those problems and still succeed.
 * Her creative ideas for realism paintings were used by a group of artists but she didn't get credited for her work.
 * Audrey broke another rule of art because of her use of a photograph as subject of her work, yet because she did not disguise the fact that she was using a photograph she was leaded into further isolated in the art world.
