School Butt-kicking

Sorry, for the lack of updates, but school has been kicking my butt. I hope to finish my Tin Man project and my Toy project by the end end of November (probably won't happen, but I'll try). I also started NaNoWriMo, pretty much to create my own children's story to go with all my projects. Hopefully, I don't go insane by the end f it. Thanks for visiting!

Back again!

Sorry, school has been absolutely overwhelming. With a Baroque art history test on Tuesday that I'm dreading, and two papers due the same day my anxiety level is through the roof. Wanted to leave you guys with at least one progress picture. So, here it its!

It's a ceramic crown. It's made by brushing slip on to a burger king crown. Hopefully it survives the bisque process!

Papers, Papers, Papers...

I have decided that in the summer I will take a study abroad program in France. So excited!!!!! In other news, there is nothing much to report. I've been writing more papers than doing actual work, but it's good because I'm learning more about my own thought process and growing as an artist. So yay for school doing it's job! Now if only they could fix the leaks and the kilns.... hmmmmm.....

Research and Assemblage

I have to start reading for a research paper due on Thursday. Ugh... procrastination, the college student's worst enemy. Thankfully it is on an artist I truly admire, Louise Bourgeois. So now I have to read through some books I got from the library and work all of Sunday. Also, I finished one of my assemblage tins for my class. Now I need 7 more to go, by the end of September!

I hope you like it! See you next week!

A Toy Story

I think I'm just going to post on Saturdays, since I keep posting on Saturdays. School is a bit hectic, especially since our thesis paper is more about just research than anything else this semester. Also, I still haven't gotten my Baroque Art History book, thanks to Amazon. At least my artwork is still moving forward. I'm making lots and lots of toys, mainly in ceramics and paper. Well here is the preview of the tins the paper dolls are in.

Yeah some are pretty big, but that's depending on the story I want to tell within each piece.

This is the interior of one of the more finished tins. Well, Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! P.S.- If you're in Miami I suggest you go see the Severus Show in the Amat Art Gallery, and if you go to Wynwood definitely hit Peggy Nolan's show in the Dina Mitrani Gallery. Have fun!

Week Two

Hello again! School has been going great. The one class I thought I would have a problem in was Baroque (Art History), but thankfully the professor seems to be getting her act together. Thesis 1 is all about research, and all my other studio classes are so much fun! Well here is some progress work from Assemblage/Collage.

It's going to be a dollhouse for some paper dolls. It's also one of three. So, hopefully I finish them for next week!

First Week

Sorry, I didn't post yesterday! Well, the first week of school has ended, and I'm sad. Because I have never been so happy to go back to school ever! The school curriculum has changed (personally I think for the better). So far I love all my classes, and I can't wait to start cranking out work!

A New Day

Yay! School starts today! SO totally not nervous! OK, I am. That's just because this semester I have Thesis 1 (yes, in our school art students have to write a thesis... and I'm not in grad school yet). At least I have an idea what my first piece is going to be. It's definitely not related to school, but to another show I'm hoping to get into at the Bear and Bird in Tate's Comics! This upcoming picture illustrates the general idea for the piece.

P.S.- The show deals with the supernatural.
