here it is

update

So I'm beginning to like the idea of "Trapped" wayyy more than water... I keep having ideas that I want to do over the course of the year and I'm really excited to get to work on them.

I took a few pictures at the HP7 premier too! I was going for the "pictures of groups" catagorie.. but the satanic bridgeport employees kept ruining my fun... oh well, there will be time for more pictures this thanksgiving!

also: if anybody ever needs a robe/cloak... our seamstriss Claire McKinney did an excellent job with mine! Thanks again Claire :)

TRAPPED

soo I decided water was kind of boring.. and somehow transitioned to thinking that it would be fun to explore the elements and principals of art through the concept of being "trapped".  Not in just a "trapped in a cage" kind of way... more like exploring the different things that can act as a trap.

Okay.. I've decided that water is the way to go. I'm especially drawn to the eerie, drippy look of acrylic and water colors of weird deep sea stuff... which sounds a little weird. I was inspired by another lakeridge artist in a concentration a few years ago. soo that's what I'm leaning towards for my concentration.

Is this necessary?

I don't really know if I need to do a blog post... but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry!

I've thought about concentrations a lot lately, and I keep coming back to water. What about water? I have no idea. But I guess it's a step in the right direction. If anybody has any concentration ideas/variations on "water" that would be fun... please let me know :)

arrrrrrghhhh!

I'm excited for our picture tomorrow-- it's been a very pirate-y week, and i'm excited we have this to top it off. It makes me wanna give a shout out to my bud Patchy.. who actually kind of sucks in every episode.. but is deserving none the less.

post numero dos

I still don't really have an adequate concept for my self-portrait. I keep changing my mind-- surprise. If anybody has any ideas about how they see me, let's here em!

summah art

Me Allie and Sarah went to Andrea's art studio and messed around with wax and fire for 6 hours.. it was way different from any art I've ever done, but I liked it a lot. I wasn't crazy about the peices I made--one was a fly in a venus fly trap, another one of a bird, and the third a fish surrounded by hooks-- but I liked the experience on the whole. I'm glad Andrea was there, there's something about the way she talks and explains her inspiration behind the crazy encaustic peices that is really entertaining.. she's really open with her thought process. Other than that, I drew a little bit on nights when I couldn't sleep, painted one piece on three small canvases... and me and dani painted a bedroom if that counts? I'm ready to get back into the swing of things, and although i'm not really even in class with you guys.. i'm excited to see how the year turns out!
