School's Out for Summer.

The final outcome is not so great. It all just looks funny to me. Not very appealing.

( this piece actually took a long time and considering i was running on a lack of sleep i'll admit it isn't my best. )

But... I'm Done! 

Drawing Suite

I have finally finished my drawing suite that I've been working on all semester. I've had two critiques on some of these pieces already and my final critique is tomorrow (all day!). I basically chose to draw different vases and work on perfecting their shape and shading without a background. It has been a long journey with these drawings and I'm still not completely satisfied with all of them. I'm anxious to see what my class will think because I haven't had the best responses so far. Most are just with dry media, simply placed in the center of the paper. The 2nd and 3rd pieces were added for "mystery" as silhouettes. (Suggested by my teacher, who knows why). 

I also wanted to let you all know that I had an awesome final critique from my 2D teacher. He said some of my things were perfect (which i don't agree with) and he was very impressed! :)

YAY! All that stressing for nothing.  One more day left of class! I can't wait.

Check back soon. I'll have my 2D projects posted when he gives them back.

The last pieces for my portraiture film series. 

These girls look amazing and they helped out so much.

Let me know you thoughts :)

Come on Eileen.

Acrylic on chipboard

Obviously its not finished yet, but this is the beginning of my 2D design project. Not much to look at so far; slowly but surely i will accomplish my final piece. There is going to be three different sections in the final piece. This painting is referenced from a classic renaissance piece. The first section is to be completed realistically from the source. The middle section will be a continuation of the same renaissance painting in a more decorative aisian style. The final section will also be the same painting created with a certain mood or feeling in mind. Hopefully the end result will be better than just this portion because i worked very hard to finish this much. Like my Lucielle Ball painting, this chipboard is about 4 feet tall. Oh boy do i love finals week!

Let me know what you all think so far. Comments/suggestions welcomed!!

Dress Up!

Cool Cuz's Club

These are the beginning of my final portrait project for my photo class.

The beautiful models are my cousins and we all had lots of fun playing dress up like the old days. Although we're growing up, we'll never be too old to have this kind of fun. 

I need 8 prints, I took about 180 pictures of them, for this project so expect more soon.

35mm Film

These are some of the photos I've been working on for the past few weeks for my class. I've spent a lot of money and hardwork on these even though they aren't perfect. I'm really starting to enjoy this class. My final project is portraiture, so keep your eye out for a new post with those pictures.
