Field Trip

I really enjoyed the field trip to ISU, it was the first time that I walked around the ISU campus. I never knew how nice the Art studios there were and that they really had that nice of courses there. The House of 7 Gabbles was a really interesting show, there was a lot of different mediums of artwork there.

When we got to listen to Diario (I can't think of his last name) it was the most interesting talks I have ever gotten to sit in on. He talk about his latest pieces so in depth. His artwork was so interesting, and usually I'm not too interested in 3-D. But his work was very very interesting.

I'm really looking forward to making pieces that will go into the art show at ISU. I'm going to do more mixed media artwork for this project. I'm also wanting to add Droning Noises/Harsh Noises that go along with the artwork. Maybe even have the noises come out of the art itself. I have a lot of creepy ideas for these pieces, I'm really excited for them.

Concentration Portraits

So as most of you know I changed my concentration from Photography to Illustration (Watercolor and Pen). I'm really glad that I did this change, it's not that I don't enjoy doing photography. I just really enjoy doing watercolor paintings.

This project is some what out of my comfort zone, in ways. I'm doing portraits of people, from the time of birth to the time of death. I'm going to go through different ethnic backgrounds, races, "deformations", etc. I really really like this project idea, I think it'll surpass my other pieces I've done this year.
