the rest of my recent work...

So, as I said before, here's the slides of the shadow paintings, along with the charcoal things we did in class today. I just like them, so I used them. I really need to scan the psycho drawing of part of a skeleton, labeled and everything...

AH! Work!

So, here's what I have for the sequence of 14 drawings. 3, plus an image of what I was drawing. And my messy hands after 2 drawings.

Later tonight I'll finally put up the slides of the shadow faces. I still have to edit them a bit...

Past Work

No, I still don't have the images of my latest for this class, that being the shadow portraits or the 14 charcoal drawing sequence.

BUT, I do have a link to my past work! I remembered I got an account on uber.com a while ago and I started uploading some of my work there. It's mostly paintings from junior year, since I think I forgot about putting new stuff up, and there's only 3 photos, and though they are 3 of my better, they're all older stuff with none of my new, concept-y stuff. Ah well. I'll probably upload that stuff after I go home this weekend and I can get it from my home computer.

luvlettr is the name of the site, and that's just a link to the actual work. There's really not much else there except a music player and a description of what I thought my painting style was. The image at the top is easily of my favorite painting. It's called "Pulling," it's 20 x 26, and it's from my figure class in 11th grade. Also, there are naked people in the link... That's what figure was, naked people. Just so people are aware, I did warn you.

What a Day

So, today I turned in my 72 portraits. I don't have a final picture of it yet, but I will by the end of this week. I was all excited for a crit day, and then I remembered I love getting my work critiqued, but I'm not very good at talking about others' work. For every piece I tried to think of something to say, falling back on what I know about art not the execution. And I hate to say it, but some of the pieces turned in today were at about the level of incoming freshmen back at my high school. I feel so bad saying that, but I guess I really did turn into a snobby fartist...

Unfortunate things: We had to haul a ton of stuff to the class and only ended up using the newsprint pad and india ink. Very sucky. Then, we spent 45 minutes doing an assignment I'd already done back in 10th grade, and back then we spent about 15-20 minutes on those portraits! So I sat there for about half the time, hoping the instructor would come over and say something about the fact that I wasn't doing anything... but she never did. And for homework we have to do 2 self portraits in the same style as the class thing, but we're expected to spend a total of 6 hours on it! That's way too long for such a ridiculously easy assignment, so I'm setting myself up to take longer: I'm going to sew together pieces of canvas paper and do the portraits in oil paint. Hopefully that'll take close to 6 hours...

Yeah, she lost some teacher-points today...

I just needed to rant about that, even if this wasn't the most appropriate place to do so. I shall now go tell Shelley, as hopefully she'll feel my pain.

Also, as a side note, I feel like I should mention that this blog and the attached one [Hypnotized, my artist name blog] use words from a Millimeters Mercury song "Ace Aviatrix". Their website and the song itself.
