It's all over.

I feel like I've missed a blog somewhere so I'll do one now for good measure. Th end of AP Art was very stress relieving and after that was over came AP Calculus, then AP Lit, then AP Bio, and now the end of school. Though I didn't think it would ever happen. It was really hard to choose my final five 'Quality' pieces, but I ended up with the three I used for evening of the arts, the hands with flowers in them, and Joan of Arc.

It's Almost Over. That is good and bad.

So just one week left of AP Art and I feel less stressed and more stressed at the same time somehow. I did art for about 5 hours straight this morning and I'm about to go do some more of that now. All but about 5 or so pieces are totally done, and the last ones only have a bit more left to be called 'finished' in my book. I have been looking at the AP college board site thing a little and I think I understand pretty well what all has to be done so I think I can knock that out by this friday. I loved this year of AP Art, but I'm not going to lie, I will not be sad it's over.

Progression

Well, not really progress I suppose, but what I'm doing this week. I plan on hopefully finishing my two acrylic pieces, the suitcase and the portrait. Also, my friend will hopefully have a day off while I'm out so I can do that photo shoot I've been waiting for. But anyway, before Tuesday I'll make a list of all the paint colors I need and get that from you when I go to the high school and maybe snag a few brushes as well.

Progress

I didn't get any pictures of what I'm working on this week, but I hope this will work. Plus, this will help you see that I don't just derp around in class.
So, I'm finishing that acrylic self portrait, though I don't really like it much. I'm just thinking that it'll work for breadth. I'll finish that this week hopefully and then bring some paint home next week to finish the back of my drawing and painting suitcase, which may or may not end up in breadth depending on how it turns out. I'm really feeling doing another charcoal because I haven't done one in forever, but I probably shouldn't. With the two acrylics down, it leaves two more pieces and I still want to that photograph that I told you about. So just one left, I have a piece started, but I'm not really feeling it yet. I like the idea, but not what I've done so far. Not real sure where to go from the point at which I am. We'll see. One month and a half to go!

Artspan (week of 03/17/12)

I've recently been looking for new things to do during my classes since everything has been blocked and I found an interesting website, Artspan. It's a website where contemporary artists can post their works, whether it's painting, drawing, metal, whatever it may. I think it's a really great site to show what artists are doing now and it's also helpful in finding inspiration for my own work. Another good thing about Artspan is that you can find really great artists to contribute to and buy prints of their work or the pieces themselves.  I think it's really necessary to be able to get your name out as an artist or else you're just giving into the the stereotype of 'starving artist'.

Another Picture Blog

I have a whole folder just full of photos and articles and videos that I find on the internet that I think pertain even a little bit to innocence. Or that make me think about new ideas, because in nearing the end of the year, I'm also nearing the end of my idea bank. Also losing everything in mac book flood I had a few weeks ago didn't help anything at all. 

This is a picture blog.

Here are just a few things that I've found lately that are inspiring me for my art.

I'm going to work on, like you said, making my art less snap-shot-ish and more full and unending. I have a few ideas, but in killing my laptop I lost all the ones from previous nine weeks. Go me.
