Blog #31: One last blog before midnight

So it's the last night to enter blogs. I figured I'd come in here and finish just one more before the deadline. Today as I was setting up our display case before class, I began to really realize just how much I've enjoyed this class. Art classes have usually been a bore but this has been the first...

Blog #30: Last required blog...can't think of anything.

Ah...so it's the final required blog and I'm at a loss for words. Ok that's a lie. I'm always full of useless things to say. But it rained today much to my shagrin so the sand I got today was very damp and is going to be a pain to dry. Today in generally is a hectic day. I have a speech to give in...

Blog #29: Display project progress report

With less than a week to assemble our displays, you might think that we'd be in a panic. Not yet. Not yet. Today I have several things on my checklist. One being taking a trip down to the river and getting at least three gallons of sand/grit and then drying it. As for my team, I was pleasantly...

Artist 20/20: Elizabeth Berrien

Now here's an artist I could really get into! She is a rarity and a master at what she does: wire sculpture. The brilliance of this medium is that is can transcend from almost 2d, to wall art, to 3d sculpture to architecture. Elizabeth Berrien is a relatively unknown artist who is quickly on the rise...

Artist 19/20: Maya Ying Lin

Ok so keeping to my promise and still hot off my feminist/homo...sim art is an artist we covered in art history today. Not only do I think she stands as a testiment to female artists, but she also represents artist of ethnicity. Despite being only a first-generation American, she claims she grew up...

Blog #28: Sexism in the Art World

In art history today, we discussed an issue that I find very very interesting: femanine art and female artists. Apparently there is this sisterhood of artists called the Guerrilla Girls. It's a group of female artists (nobody knows exactly who) but they go around leaving posters meant to address sexism...

Blog #27: CJ Frei....my bizarre muse.

So today I received a compliment that's I've never liked. It usually comes from other artists who see my work and typically is something along the lines of, "You're so good. So much better than mine. I shouldn't even bother/I should just quit" It makes me feel like pooh. While I'm glad to get the compliment and to be i guess admired, if there's one thing I've learned in Art Foundations 108 its that...

Artist 18/20: Don Bluth

Ok so I lied! Actually I just thought of another artist who did affect me greatly as a child and is another person i hold greatly responsible for scarring my childhood...and he just happens to be male. I don't think I've done a blog about an animator yet. You think I would have done Disney...

SMALLTOWN ROMEO - PARTY MOTION

After much fanfare and a long wait, tomorrow is the date, our new single Party Motion will be coming out on Plant Music available exclusively at Beatport.com Here is what our label Plant Music has to say about it: “As expected, the boys have created a tune that reflects their all-over-the-place musical...

Artist 17/20: Michelle Robison

Well I noticed just now that my favorite artists list is one big sausage fest. I apologise for this. But I wonder, why are there so few high-profile female artists in the world. Fine artists that is. So to try and make up for it, I think my final few artist entries will be about female artists ...unless...

Blog #26: Proposals Selected

So. Yesterday we gave our Final Project proposals and mine was among the selected. Yay. Go me! While this makes me a little smug, I'll be honest and say I'm a little bit bummed. By having your project selected means that you're stuck doing it and there were some other projects I think I would have...

Artist 16/20: Alan Lee

Alan LeeWHOOPS! So I went on for a week and totally forgot to do a seperate entry on Alan Lee. Here we go.Alan Lee is a English born artist and shares the same affinity for fantasy subject matter. However, if I had to choose a preference I would have to pick Lee's jagged watercolor style over Howe's...
