10 Pieces of Advice for Artists From Jerry Saltz’s Keynote Speech at Expo Chicago.

Check out these glass viruses by artist Luke Jerram. There's a full gallery and photographs of other sculptural work are also available directly from his site.  They're clear because the size of a virus is SMALLER THAN THE WAVELENGTH OF LIGHT. Therefore it has no color, by definition it can't. How cool is that? The artist remarks on this in his HIV sculpture: "The artworks were also created to consider how the use of artificially added colour in medical imaging effects how the imagery is read and interpreted by the public. See these examples of scientific HIV imagery. How does the choice of different colours affect their reception? In response to these questions, Jerram has created a series of transparent, three dimensional sculptures of HIV. Ironically in 2007 photographer David Sayer won an award from the Institute of Medical Imaging for the artificially coloured image he took of Jerrams HIV sculpture."

Design is becoming a prerequisite for business success, but with a year at a top-flight school like RISD easily costing more than $53,000, that learning doesn’t necessarily come cheap. Luckily, education marketplace Skillshare has created a new online school of design with world-class teachers that only costs $20 per class.
