Today's Critique...

Negatives--
Sorry for the delay, school is keeping me busy! This week in my photography class we developed a roll of film. We had to shoot a depth of field assignment last week, so this week I got to see the... ...
Crapple:
While doing some much put off sewing today I realized that the best reason for not taking summer school is being able to catch up on the heaps of projects I have around my studio. Plus, I have a degre...

The Contender:
Yesterday my Art teacher chose (2) students to be in the student art show (which I was in last semester). This (unfinished work) was one of my pieces she was considering, or as she put it was a "cont...
Tonal Adventures:
I haven't been talking too much about my first ever Drawing class...probably because for the first half of this semester we've mainly been doing line drawings (of cardboard boxes) and were not allowed...
Potential
Well, I'm already into the 3rd week of my beginning Drawing class...I was really nervous the first week (and still am). The second class we did line drawings, and drawings of boxes, and drawings of ea...
Beginning Again...
I once discovered that there are things about myself; ideas I hold about myself that I'd been lugging around with me forever that really have nothing to do with me now. And, really, maybe they never h...
Sewing Machine (Art):
Well, last week I got my final project for last semster's art class back. I realized I hadn't posted it here, so this is it:Basically it's a sort of assemblage piece...I painted the sewing machine, c...
More Art:
It's been a busy few weeks for me in terms of Art...the gallery opening was lovely, and my painting is one of a number of works chosen for my school's website as a preview of the student art invitatio...
Art Show Progress:
My very first art gallery show is tomorrow! I dropped my work off at the gallery the other day. I'm really excited! (more on this later...)...
Lesson Learned:
Cats and painting do not always mix: Blu, (one of our cats) jumped on the painting just as I had started. It was irreversible...so I had to begin again: cut the paper, sketch the umbrellas, etc. I'm...
Melodies Pure and True:
So, aside from the news that my work gets to be in an art gallery show, I haven't really mentioned much about my Art class for awhile. This may because the last 2 works I did were nice and all...but I...
I Know More Than I Knew Before
As you may or may not know, I have been trying to take a real, college level art class for years...though this never occurred to me in college. Because I was too scared, or too busy, or too intimidate...
I'm Going to be in an Art Gallery Show!
Well, friends...I got some big news the other night in my art class. My art teacher selected me and my self-portrait (a value-scale painting) to be in my college's student art exhibition. Woohoo!!! Sh...
Still Here.
I have not slipped off the Earth (though some days that sounds pretty good...) I have been quite busy. I spent most of last week (and all weekend) doing this painting:So, aside from the fact that art ...
Inanimate becomes Animate
It's not VooDoo, it's my latest Art class assignment....making something inanimate become something animate. So, a cute little spoon curls up to become a cute little snail. I then took that snail, abs...
Cupcakes!?!
My latest art/design class assignment was to take a shape--any shape--and repeat it all over a big piece of paper. Basically we could use pen and ink to make the shape different by changing the patter...
"Travel Art "(or 'Art School Geek Out'):
Wow....it has been a very busy week. And, as much as I am not a winter-weather person (take that Chicago!) Fall is in the air and it's making my skin tingle with excitement. I must admit Autumn is bea...
Art School Freak Out
Well, if you're keeping up with me, I started my very first "real" Art class last week. (So, I guess I'm officially not an "outsider artist" anymore). I was so excited that I got all giggly and smiley...
