Food For Thought:This was really interesting to see which alumni and from which years attended art schools. I think ultimately lots of kids go to college for the same reason: to do something they are passionate about. Prior to this year, I honestly had no concept of what an "art school" is, and it sounds like a lot of fun, however, I have so many interests, I know it is not for me. I want to be able to bridge my artistic knowledge and creativity and carry it into my work as an urban planner, designing and redesigning urban structures to be more sustainable for the future. Bailey spoke out to me a lot in how he was interested in politics but then per chance stumbled upon architecture. I think architecture and urban planning are especially interesting fields that bridge many different disciplines. I think ultimately, in whatever career I so choose I want to be able to be passionate about it and I want to create, maybe not to the extent of the artists, but definitely I want to be able to produce, innovate, problem-solve, and create solutions. Another thing I was interested in hearing about was the different way the programs were set up. One guy thought that VCU did not challenge students enough going in, while another girl enjoyed the rigorous pace as to which she started off in drawing. Each student enjoyed different aspects of the art field. Coming out of this, after having applied to college, I'm realizing how kids that are happiest at their colleges are kids that choose to follow and learn something that they can be passionate about. Going forward on my college adventure, that's the most I could hope for.

In the meantime with my warping frame, I took a break to paint a figure. I was experimenting with the black of the foam core and layering. I really do like the final result of this piece. I finalized with some chalk and glitter. I'm thinking of cranking out a few variations of paintings in this style on actual canvas. Been working on a lot..... the big frame piece was put on pause unfortunately due to complications with the foam core and warping. In fixing the warping I ended up just saturating the back with water which seemingly did work. I've come back from the warping to add some figural gestural markings. I want to ultimately have a figure with a dress, hopefully the dress can have some 3D elements and come off the canvas. Excited to finish this piece. I also want to incorporate perhaps a glittered bodice? Not sure yet. |
