SPRING 2011

Classes start again on Tuesday! I have a painting class (thank goodness, I need it big time!), drawing 2, art history, and history of Rock N Roll! I'm super excited for painting and drawing, it should help me and make me DO more! So expect to see new things! Yay art school!!

I am having a lot of trouble starting my Sketchbook...hmmm...how to begin.

Sketchbook Project

My advisor at Herron emailed us about this Sketchbook Project on www.arthousecoop.com where you purchase a sketchbook and fill it up and send it back to the Art House people and they take it on a cross-country tour (one stop is in Chicago, I would love to have a group go up and check it out!). I'll be keeping a digital record of my sketchbook, because the original will be on tour, and then on a shelf in Brooklyn, Ny; I'm nervous about it, I like to keep my things I do. But this sounds like great publicity, fantastic practice, a good challenge, inspiring...All those things sound good to me so I'm gonna try it! I received my sketchbook today so I'll be starting soon! It's a really cool project! And I get a 'library card' that will update me anytime someone checks out my book to look at, so that's pretty cool, like my baby, I can check up on it!

Wish me Luck! Maybe I'll be enlightened!

Finished Work

Ok, so "Sketches" has become "Finished work", by request of my dear friend Beth I have taken pictures of my finished work, titled them and dated them!

NEW PAGE!

Ok so I just figured out how to make pages within my blog! Super fun! So check out my "sketches" page!

Off with His Head!

I'll be cutting off Jake's head soon, I've been thinking about what I want to do with it...I'm finding music very inspirational! More to come, I'll update with pictures! I may need to go canvas shopping. (taking a short break from the Andy project...at a point where I'm not sure it's working...may need to stop and go back later)
