Learn Design, Illustration, and More With Skillshare

We are pleased to announce that Skillshare is offering readers of Contemporary Art Daily 2 free months of Skillshare Premium. For those who don’t know, Skillshare offers video-based courses in creative fields taught by expert practitioners, with a growing library of over 15,000 classes. I’ve always been fascinated by design, for example, in particular the design of corporate identities, and I suspect many people interested in contemporary art are too. Artists are constantly thinking about and referring to the ways that forms take on meaning, and how the identity of an artist is represented and talked about. I sometimes make analogies all too confidently to design and branding when discussing these issues even though my knowledge about the practice of identity design, dynamic identity systems and branding is thin.

When Skillshare decided to sponsor us, I was happy to find a course that I’m genuinely excited by: Dynamic Brand Identity with Paula Scher. I know just enough to know that Scher is a legendary designer at Pentagram who has crafted countless logos and identities I recognize. This course is detailed and serious but also general enough that a non-practitioner like me can follow her. If you’re here, you’re presumably interested in learning about contemporary art, so please consider using your 2 free months of Skillshare Premium to continue learning about other creative fields that interest you. -Forrest

Artist Shows That Putting Googly Eyes on Inanimate Objects Never Gets Old

Ah yes, eyebombing, the street art equivalent of drawing a funny mustache on Mona Lisa. So ubiquitous it’s impossible to credit anyone for inventing it… and yet for some reason it never quite stops being hilarious? Or maybe it’s just me. Probably just me. Vanyu Krastev of Eyebombing Bulgaria helps keep it alive. (via Tastefully Offensive , Quipsologies ) Update: Did you know there’s a Googly Eyes Foundation ? Supposedly they will even send you free googly eyes .

Giants: A Black and White Series Captures the Complexity of the Humpback Whale

Over the last three years photographer  Jem Cresswell  has photographed humpback whales during their annual migration to Vava’u,  Tonga , swimming with the great creatures in the vast waters of the southern Pacific Ocean. Cresswell’s series Giants captures the individual personality of the great whales, each of which seem to pose specifically for his underwater camera. “I was initially drawn to the whales’ gentle nature, sheer size and the feeling of insignificance in their presence,” said Cresswell. “Over the past 3 years returning to Tonga, I have sought to capture intimate portraits of these complex and conscious animals, bringing the viewer into the world of these mystical giants.” In addition to being intrigued by the animals’ size, the Australian-based artist is also fascinated by their brains. In 2006, spindle cells, which were only thought to be present in humans and great apes, were also found to exist within the brains of humpback whales. These cells, ...
