Class: Speaker Time 1/18/08

Okay, project totally suppose to be shown today but instead we had a lovely speaker. ^_^
Pretty cool laid back person. It was nice to see the different things she used for apart of ONE art piece she worked on.
I like how she used the idea of art to travel since she was unable to travel herself due to expensive trips. Perhaps i could do that when i get the chance. ^_^

Ideas 2/15/08

On my Accumulation Project I have been doing well in collecting packages. But I can’t help to see that the “Capri Sun” packages are made of the same material. What if the collection doesn’t have to focus on just small rectangle shapes? Why not make them all sizes?

Thoughts 2/13/08

SO GLAD the Identity project was moved back a week. =_=

I was thinking of having a star in my piece to represent how much I love them and my happiness that i tend to have most of the time. It would be blue and would have strings hanging down from it. Items would be tied into the strings that each have something to do with my traits and personality.

Class 2/11/08

Seeing such ideas today on how people do their artwork. Man, it really DOESN’T have any boundaries to it. I’m, rather glad in fact that I am taking this class because never would I have even began to think of something as simple as food, lard, or even just random items around the room as apart of an art project I would do.

Ketchup! 2/8/08

Okay, perhaps the idea of collecting ketchup packages is very helpful. I see them all the time and I have quite a bit at home. However, perhaps it doesn’t have to be just ketchup. It could be small packages of mustard, BBQ sauce, est.

MMCD Gallery 2/6/08

Just from walking through the place it seems you can do just about anything. Glass, wood, plastic, strings, it all depends on how you put it all together.

One piece that always sticks out in my head is a glass structure of a chair on a low, wide glass circle-shaped pedestal. It had stuff and perhaps writing engraved in it along with a bucket on its side next to the chair. I love it due to it being clear, yet, had all kinds of colors mixed in. The main color was a light shade of blue.

Class 2/4/08

Interesting how identity of an artist or anyone is constructed and not “fixed”. You can’t just go out there and declare yourself one way if you have other characteristics that go with that one trait. One must be true to their identity and realize what it is they are. Or else you will become lost and struggle a bit.

If one doesn’t know for sure who they are at the moment, perhaps over time if they seek it out, surely they will find out where their true image lies.
