In the previous article, Linda began to show why it’s better to draw from life than from a photograph. When you draw from life, you can feel less restricted in adding your feelings or in becoming committed to translating feelings on paper. In this article, she goes deeper to show how you can use symbols to help send messages, and how to draw such intangibles as weight, sound, and scent.
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
