Class 1/30/08

Learning how important it is to show meaning in our work, it really represents who we are as artists. Also, we must be able to transfer that meaning to the viewers so that perhaps they can understand it or come up with ideas involving your work.

Thoughts/Ideas 2/1/08

Not quite sure of what I wish to collect. I had the idea of marbles last week but I still wish to find out something else. Perhaps pieces of jewelry I keep finding around campus. I always tend to find an earring or belly button ring that has been dropped.

Class: Material Invention Experiment 1/28/08

Today was fun to see all the very different ideas we had when we showed each other how we did our material project. I like how we all had different ways of putting it together. Some had it structured, others loosely set things in place based off of instinct, and some just had no idea why they did it. LOL
I'm just glad that it wasn't as bad as we thought it was to be. ^_^

Perhaps next time i can do what it takes to make a good project. I just hope that the next projects won't be more than I can handle. Of course i learned that one shouldn't wait 'till the last minute for things. But I've come to know that some of my best progresses are at the last minute or the day before it seems. I'ts as if all my ideas come together in one harmony...ish.

Speaker 1/23/08

I learned a lot about ways to use fiber and what it is exactly. It was nice to hear how an artist life can go if they don't really have a solid idea of what they want to do.
It was interesting at first to see the different art pieces the speaker had done over time.

Thoughts 1/25/08

After listening to the speaker and talking with the class I have a pretty good few idea of how we can use almost anything to put with the Accumulation Project. I tend to have a fascination with marbles and/or stones so perhaps i can do something with that.

Jason Tselentis 1/14/08

I. Am. So. GLAD that Jason came in and showed us how the heck we work Blogspot.com XD LOL
I would have been lost and doing it the hard way if he hadn’t showed us a lot simpler method.

Also is glad to learn that we must get involved with others and the way the world is nowadays in order to better learn how to use almost everything around us as apart of our work and not just focus in one particular area.

Thoughts on Accum. 1/18/08

To be honest i have no idea of what I wish to do at this point. LOL
All I can do for now is just try to get ideas as we continue class. ^_^

Class Field Trip: McColl Center 1/16/08

The trip to the McColl Center was interesting. I was able to see a variety of art pieces instead of all being just one thing. I enjoyed the fiber piece where the artist sewn her thoughts into the cloths and had different pictures on them to represent something.
One studio i liked was full of wood pieces with some finished and others still being worked on. I like how I was able to see some of the steps being done for the artist to get to the finished product.
