Artsy Fartsy Kind Of Things...

One thing I have learned is that proportions are key and so is concept in most cases. I have learned that I hate doing pieces in graphite (reminds me too much of a sketch). I have improved on proportions and placement through my still life's.

I need to improve on a lot of things like placement and proportions still...and drawing from life. GROAN!

In three years I see myself still improving on my skills and maybe dabbling in making jewlery...and giving tattoos. I know that for sure. :)

I have gotten a lot out of this class. Espectially how you need ot think of how someone is going to view your pieces with a different background and how you can convey what you want to say into a "language" that they'll understand. I have also learned that what people think sums up to nothing if you are happy with what you are making.

Post Secret

So yesterday instead of doing the review for the upcoming math test, me and a friend decided to look at post secret. I was surprised and inspired by the post cards that people have sent in over the years. So I decided to go online and see some of the other ones. I liked alot of them and how some of them are the tacky gift shop postcards that are transformed into their secrets and I personally thought that it takes alot of talent to do that.

Here are a few...

I think Martin would laugh at this one ^^

I thought this one was really interesting because it's a panting done by Dali and this is how she used it.

Here's the link to the archive:

Are You There God It's Me...Graffiti!

So for this week's free blog, I'm going to blog about my favorite artist...Banksy.

Sperm Alarm

What I really like about Banksy is how he has pieces that are hilarious like the one above and a lot of his pieces are about taking a stance against something. He is anti-capitalism, anti-fascism, anti-authoritarianism, and anti-war.

Crayon Boy-Los Angeles

He started doing graffiti in London and now his work is starting to pop up in the United States.

Space Girl and Bird

Pissed Angel

The piece shown above is one of my favorite pieces. When I see it, it says to me that even the best of us fall sometimes and when I found out that it was painted over I twas a little mad.

Photo Opportunity

Living The Dream

Liberty

Sometimes all our work needs to say something...

But we have no idea what this is trying to say.
