This is part one of a two part post. For those that are interested I am going to post some of the art that I have been doing in class and what not. You don't have to read all the captions they are mostly for me so I have a record of what I was thinking:)
Anyways hope you enjoy it!
Sorry some of them are not great pictures and are totally pointed at the wrong direction.

| Adventure collage So for class one day we took pictures all over campus. This is my Asymmetrical piece. I was inspired by two things. Our neighbors baby died over the weekend. which was sad and depressing. I wanted to give it the feeling of the world falling apart. And the Series of Unfortunate events. Our teacher said it was like the collage just gave up. I liked that. |
 |
| Adventure Collage part 2 So this I really like. But the style it totally copied from an artist we looked at in class. |
 |
| Bits and pieces literally bits and pieces I didn't use in my adventure collage. |
 |
| Cardnal So we were supposed to used the golden ratio to compose two different works. I just used the squares and rectangles to fracture the colors. I liked the effect. |
 |
| Vacation with Great Grandma and Aunt Mona When my great Aunt Mona died I was able to get these super cool vacation books and several postcards. I used the golden rectangle to organize each piece. In class I could feel the eyes rolling when I put this up. It is totally a scrap book page right! So I had to defend it. I really like it. |
 |
| Reaganing For our final project we had to pick an old master and do something in their style. Compositionally or whatever. Warhol is not really a old master, but I got permission. I was trying to give the same idea as what was done with Marilyn Monroe. The idea that she was no longer a person but an object that is manufactured for the masses. I feel like the same thing is happening with Reagan's identity. His image and identity has been romanticized and restructured taking away his humanity. I also liked Warhols use of gold, like the old Christian religious icons. I felt the gold background was appropriate. I really wish I could have done it on a more monumental scale, and actually used silk screen, But I didn't have money to go buy a huge board, silk screen and paint. |

| Cubisim These images all come from National geographic. Those photographers are amazing!! This looks way better bigger. This size makes it a bit busy. And it is a bad picture. Just imagine the green and reds super vibrant. |
 |
| 15 Line drawing adventure! So we took those same photographs and made line drawings of them. I had a lot of fun with the project. I would have made more if I had more time. This is the best one. I tried things out on 2 and 51. I can not take credit for the look of these ones either. We looked at another artist in class and I took several things that I really liked from what we saw. These ones you also need to open up and see closer to see the lighter colors. |

| Cubist 2 So while making my cubist collage I came upon these images. and I had to put them together. It really visualises the question "What is the cost of our American lifestyle?" Also, I don't hate Natile Portman or anything. I really would like to do a whole series of these. |
 |
| Concentric lines. So I love doing this I did this lots in high school on lots of papers. It is very hypnotic to make and look at. I would love to do a floor like this. It would be so cool. |
 |
| Negative Space drawing I literally dumped out my craft drawer and drew it. It is playful. |
 |
| The second in the series This one makes me feel like crying. I love how the colors vibrate and it is hard to focus on one image. Justin told me about the chocolate industry a while ago. How lots of harvesters use child slave labor to get the chocolate. Heartbreaking. |
 |
| I am not finished with this one yet, But I like how the coloring flattens out the detailed line drawing. |
 |
| 100,000 marks For class we were to make over 100,000 marks on a page. I had been wanting to do something food related for class, and got the inspiration when Justin was testing the Ph in the fish tank. What I did was make litmus paper and then spray and flung stuff at it. The colors were so brilliant and it was super fun to make! I wish I had taken batter pictures of them because the colors are all faded, well really they are decomposing. Which I like the idea of as well. |
That was 2D design.
