Above is another artist’s expression of time. Toying with the idea of how long it takes to make a painting, Marcel Duchamp’s “The BrideStrippedBare By HerBachelors, Even (The Large Glass)” was made by allowing a window to collect dust. After a long wait, Duchamp encapsulated the dust within applications of glue and varnish. This artwork took years, and in the end it never was completed, he decided it should remain unfinished.

SAL Challenge: Time (slow)
Make or find an artwork in which time moves slowly. If you are creating your own artwork, be aware of how materials (size and media) effect your expression of time, and notice how your intense focus (such as for a blind contour line drawing) effects your experience of time. If you are finding an artwork by another artist, be sure to include the artist’s name, the artwork title, and the year, if possible. The following imagery is off limits: no melting clocks, no hourglass, no old guys with scythe and robes.

The Kodak Model 1 Box camera sold for $25 (about $680 today) with 100 exposures of film preloaded. The artist only needed to point and pull the wire (pre-shutter button).

Among his monotype and pastel works, Degas did a series featuring a young model bathing in private interior scenes, many with the light coming in from a window. The model appears to be caught midway into a movement, making triangles with her body. While the bathing models make a variety of shapes in various …
