Illustration Sophomores Shivani Mithbaoker, Wendy Koo, Brett Silvers, Kirsten Do, Ava Chen, George Monje, Emily Becker in Wendy Popp’s class will have their work featured in the Central Park Wreath Interpretations Exhibition 2016.
Popp’s criteria was that they do an interpretation as an assignment as well as a proposal on which they were to be judged. She had them submit the proposal independently and at their own option. The wreaths may be sold, (should the artist want to sell), to benefit the Central Park Conservancy.
Popp says, “There was a level of difficulty built into this because I expected them to work in something that pushed their comfort levels and to explore new material – while expressing an opinion. There were many significant lessons learned.”
The gallery is on 5th Avenue at the Arsenal Building in front of the Central Park Zoo. Check it out!

Lauren Redniss is featured in Elle Magazine for her new book, Thunder & Lightning.
“My anxiety is about time…that time is slipping away too quickly,” says Lauren Redniss, who is, in no particular order: a reporter, a painter, a social historian, a biographer, and a feminist who creates stories and tableaux that are published as books, which are at once sexual and prim, grotesque and romantic, scientific and soft. “I always felt like I needed to hold on to things because they might slip away, and that impulse was stronger than any other fear,” she says. “So I made sure I was always drawing and writing and recording things, and it became natural to put them together in some way.”

Noe Paparella’s winning designs
“The hardest decision to make when it comes to this kind of project is whether you should pursue your own style or if you should match the style of the brand,” said Noe Paparella, winner of the Parsons School of Design/Moleskine project, a competition that challenged 51 seniors from Parsons’ BFA in Illustration program to design a cover for a Moleskine cahier journal and bellyband using the prompt #WanderingMind. “In my case, it wasn’t so complicated because my aesthetic is aligned with Moleskine’s aesthetic.”
Paparella’s design has been produced and will start being sold Aug. 14 exclusively in Moleskine’s store at 75 University Place, just a few blocks from The New School’s University Center (New School students receive a 10 percent discount on all purchases at the store).
Students responded to the prompt #WanderingMind in myriad different ways, designing illustrations that range from the whimsical to the literal, the organic to the geometric, and the minimalistic to the ornate. However, there is a common thread running through each of the designs: a passion for exploration.

Steven Guarnica, Associate Professor of Illustration, said the project provides students with the opportunity to design a product for a company that is “intrinsic to their lives.”
“Besides being a cultural artifact with a high profile in the creative industry, the Moleskine notebook is something students actually use—something that they are deeply invested in,” he said. “Even though students fully embrace the digital age, the sketch book and the pen is still the starting point for everything that we do.”
