Hmmā¦17ā¦17! 17 ā¦now where(March 17, 1985) have I heard that number, before?ā¦ ā Mustāve been a little āinterferenceā passingā¦Luann had that look that happened when the ārabbit earsā needed adjustingā¦ ā Either that, or Greg remembered what Bob Ross used to say about what to do if you run across any āhappy accidentsā in your art workā¦

Drawing is important if youāre going to be doing set designs for the theatre.

I always hated the projects in art class where we have to draw āhow we see ourselves.ā It always felt so narcissistic.

If Luann lives at home, as do Gunther and Quill, I wonder why Bernice is living in a dorm. Sure would be cheaper to live at home. Bonus ā no Dez, ferrets, odd packages, etc.

Bern, Your āPsych Profā would ALSO say that YOU are waaaay too Passive and Easily Manipulated.ā¦.,And Donāt even get Him STARTED on Guntherā¦.,

Itās good that the assignment wasnāt to draw Quill 17 different ways, since he basically has no facial features. At least with Luann, as others have noted above, itās fairly easy to render her face in different styles, since once you get the snout right then youāre halfway there.

17? Try that for a whole semesterās worth of work, not for a first assignment. Sheesh.
Terrywoebegone almost 10 years ago
A little Calvin looking expression she has.

Bernie asks Luann if she is learning anything from her assignmentā¦.I would think this is a fabulous assignment. As a connoisseur of the arts and a former art student I donāt know if I could come up with 17 different art styles in which to draw myself???

Some of these I had to look up!!

Symmetry may be a key to beauty; but asymmetry (frame 4) is memorable.

Sigh!Luann did stay in that lunaticās class. No wonder sheās looking so out-of-sorts in panel 3!Still, SEVENTEEN self-portraits, each in a different style, actually does sound like a legitimate, real assignment. I wonder if Luann will be done in time for St. Patrickās Day?
seismic-2 Premium Member almost 10 years ago
Luann said this is a āprojectā for Mr. Zeboās class, not an āassignmentā. I suspect that means it is not homework for the next class but a long-term project that the students are meant to work on over a period of 2 or 3 weeks. Drawing 17 self-portraits (basically caricatures) in that length of time is not an unreasonable work load.

Unless things have drastically changed since I was at college, freshmen arenāt required to declare a major. They usually have to spend the first year taking required ābasicā and intro classes.

I follow this because of the parents and others, not at all interested in a spoiled self absorbed thing like Luann real or imagined!
Banjo Gordy Premium Member almost 10 years ago
Wish we had this assignment back in 1954 during RISD Freshman Foundation. Always had trouble with āLife Drawingā class of the human figure until I started to realize it was an opportunity to āseeā the subject matter in a variety of perspectives.
Argy.Bargy2 almost 10 years ago
If a person lacks drawing talent, it is difficult to draw anyone or anything, regardless of whether appearances change. For a talented person, there should be no problem.-I honestly think that the last frame was supposed to be some kind of artistās joke.

This is where I dropped out of my art class.

Maybe zebo is not such a nut after all. This is an excellent art project for many reasons that I will not go into at the mo. (no heās still a nut)

Looks like Luann visited Rosaās uncleās cosmetic surgery in Peru.
David Huie Green LikeNobody'sEverSeen almost 10 years ago
I love the final face Luann is making, not the ones she drew. Methinks Picasso got a hold of her.
sjsczurek almost 10 years ago
Why, thatās pretty much how any college student would look after a bout of studying. Depending, of course, on how much studying was involved.
wiselad almost 10 years ago
the one I feel sorry about for this assignment is the football dude. I am not sure he even knows 2 different specific art styles, he might have to go (if he somehow gets a small light bulb in his brain) ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. this is Simpsons style, this is superfriends style, this is Flinstones style, this is Zelda style. this is Samurai jack style ETC

never took a single psych class in college. actually I took a 101 and dropped mid-semester. I am concerned that a freshman class is essentially teaching a student how to be judgmental, how to put people in arbitrary binsā¦ā¦..and that Bernice canāt see the value of art as a learning tool or for looking at oneās many sides.
Jim Kerner almost 10 years ago
Since when did Picasso start doing Luann?
