us for Dino Art 2008.
This year's Prehistoric Poster
Contest is
"Savage Ancient Seas". Artist Paul Hudson will be
giving a lecture and presenting the awards for this years contest.
Working through both fields of art and science, Paul has explored this world
and worlds beyond. Originally an Imagineer for Walt
Disney, he began his career designing future habitats and vehicles for EPCOT
(Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow). Then for Boeing Aerospace,
Paul worked with astronauts and engineers on the International Space
Station. His concept design work illustrating infrastructures for a return
to the moon and a manned mission to Mars earned him the National Wernher Von
Braun Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Nation’s Space Program.
The wide scope of clients and industry that have sought the talents of Paul
Hudson attest to his passion for art and science; National Geographic,
Time-Life Inc., Universal Studios, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
NASA Ames Research
Center, NASA
Goddard Space Center, and the NASA Houston
Manned Space Flight
Center. He served on the President’s National Commission on Space and is an
active contributor to the prestigious think-tank group Foundation For The
Future in Washington. He has also
created future exploration scenarios and murals for The National Air and
Space Museum’s “Where Next,
Columbus?”
exhibit celebrating the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage of
discovery.
He continued his own education in the arts by attending the
Florence Academy in Italy where
he learned the sculpting techniques of the Renaissance and Baroque Masters.
He now passes this information to his many students at the Savannah College
of Art and Design where he teaches as a full time professor. Over the last
seven years, he has created a multitude of courses that are sought out by
students throughout all majors desiring to expand their skills in the fields
of Sculpture, Anatomy, and Conceptual Design.
Professor Hudson most recently initiated a partnership with the
Oatland Island
Wildlife Center resulting in
live animals brought into his Constructive Animal Anatomy class for students
to draw, sculpt, photograph and animate. In 2007, Professor Hudson founded
the Scientific Illustration Department at SCAD, where students are afforded
the opportunity to explore and discover the wonders of Paleontology,
Astronomy, Botany, Entomology, Geo-science, and Medical Illustration. He is
currently completing his book Sculptural Anatomy for Abrams Books for
release in January of 2009. Professor Hudson is also working with
Triebold Paleontology, Inc. to illustrate a number of our specimens.
