Lately, I have felt confined to a rather small box with my art. It seems that in order to be artistic, I must divulge my inner-most feelings in a dashing display of assorted colors—a difficult task for me. Many of you have noticed this with my rather fickle concentration selection and desultory piece completion. </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:georgia;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">However, this weekend, I rediscovered art…ha, and I hope to say this with utmost sincerity and a non-cliché sounding tone. These two inspiring events were the Food Network Gingerbread House Contest and the Academy Awards. I swear I am not an avid TV watcher; this weekend just seemed to lend itself to some good moments. The gingerbread houses required hundreds of hours worth of work, and on the Academy Awards, they described the life of a set-designer. I really appreciated the fact that these people used art to accomplish alternative tasks. A challenge is exceedingly appealing to me, and I revel in the opportunity to compete in situations like these shows. It was just kind of fun to see two fascinating applications of art.</span></p>lhsap2aubreyfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462239870597526991noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506114442757141260.post-51424122980524750142007-12-25T10:45:00.000-08:002007-12-25T10:49:12.490-08:00geeky art question...<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Does anyone know which gallery it was that we saw Chuck Close's work at during the field trip at the beginning of the year? thanks....sorry.<br /><br /></span><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Aubrey/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" />lhsap2aubreyfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462239870597526991noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506114442757141260.post-3775672623659896432007-12-04T06:46:00.000-08:002008-01-07T02:30:12.630-08:00concentration pieces...ugh<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKiAHcU2bzC7X_mj8DKfnZg-ApplzBprH2GL8kjBNHjaSy0WmEmIfjP9KZIwxIyct63Y3C6BwahKyUi-BzOJ2RWsmElnZZdxi1BsIuSQjyO-ChP0gB21oPyhH0afAgPJ6E6OBuzkS9wY1T/s1600-h/P1020175.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKiAHcU2bzC7X_mj8DKfnZg-ApplzBprH2GL8kjBNHjaSy0WmEmIfjP9KZIwxIyct63Y3C6BwahKyUi-BzOJ2RWsmElnZZdxi1BsIuSQjyO-ChP0gB21oPyhH0afAgPJ6E6OBuzkS9wY1T/s320/P1020175.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152679813053170770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh88-kTH0FJIkZGwVk9oklqfY3KMENv6gOSEpfD0FvlU_4erxFbA6ZWfzcDIl5JrxuWsw2axbB7rCBhjT6DjcT1Tq_GKgzBe_tFWeEcAdMG4eNpnNnf7lk6ZC3NAL3aa_kf4Yyoh55t8aan/s1600-h/P1020173.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh88-kTH0FJIkZGwVk9oklqfY3KMENv6gOSEpfD0FvlU_4erxFbA6ZWfzcDIl5JrxuWsw2axbB7rCBhjT6DjcT1Tq_GKgzBe_tFWeEcAdMG4eNpnNnf7lk6ZC3NAL3aa_kf4Yyoh55t8aan/s320/P1020173.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152679254707422274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil91efgiOhYKM0Zpk-i0J5Jli9l4Ge4BnidQgv3FkTHLbyrzotf9IfUVvzsGf4cz4B4nPDvCh2Dq0MNbqWDp4VHFE4PdeOEFgaD1Xt2pYCHINE5vb3nnmQWvy1c1I0X8zxA4UvmNG3_LCm/s1600-h/P1020169.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil91efgiOhYKM0Zpk-i0J5Jli9l4Ge4BnidQgv3FkTHLbyrzotf9IfUVvzsGf4cz4B4nPDvCh2Dq0MNbqWDp4VHFE4PdeOEFgaD1Xt2pYCHINE5vb3nnmQWvy1c1I0X8zxA4UvmNG3_LCm/s320/P1020169.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152678893930169394" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family: verdana;">yeah...so here are the first three from the concentration. The third ended up in the garbage...so I thought I would post where it currently is. The teachers are Ms. Finley, Mr. Price, and Ms. Grimm, and I know that probably isn't obvious. I really dislike my concentration very strongly. I feel like there really isn't a strong conceptual idea uniting them together. I don't know why I chose this concentration. My weakness is the backgrounds and I just don't know how to add on the contour line drawing. I don't know who I should get help from either, in cementing my ideas. I am a perfectionist and want high markings and for my pieces to be perfect. For a drawing portfolio, I know the perspective is very weak. I hate how I decided to use different media on the pieces. They really aren't united except for the fact that they have an idiotic composition that is simply straight on. I can't ask teachers though to let me take unflattering pictures of them that would make wonderful pieces of art--I have tried. So I feel I have reached a fork in the road with this concentration: either have people impersonate teachers or redo the concentration. This just makes me sad because I want to do a good job on it.

I have a really nasty habit of ignoring it and just focusing on the subject matter in the front. I am trying to improve my composition as well in pieces. The image on top that I posted has a second figure I drew in that I am considering adding. I would add another figure as well for a total of three in the piece. It would add some diagonal lines and interesting negative shapes which may help the piece. However, I am not sure if these would be distracting. Adding them would also bring up the issue of color and whether it would be distracting to the central figure in the foreground.</span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My second concern is the beard, hair, and glasses. I am still conflicted about whether to add color. Right now I feel like there is too much white space. It may add to the piece to have some of the subtle hair wisps. I would not be adding any new colors and I would be keeping with the same color scheme. The hair would be a light lavender color for areas of gray and white hair in the photograph. Traces of brown hair would have the same shades as the eyebrows (a dark forest green). I feel like if I colored the hair, I would need to also color the background. I was thinking of doing a large blend of colors. Overall, they would appear to be a dark brownish black (the same color as the eyes). It would neutralize the bright colors I have in the face.</span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Another concern I have is about my use of color in the piece. My original intention with the piece was to use color to represent different shapes on the face and to exaggerate and abstract them. I then intended to darken areas with more neutral shades to show the shading and contours of the face. I think though that I have lost that a bit when the piece is viewed from more than two feet away. Color here is not supposed to replace shade. Do I need to amplify my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">darks</span> a bit more? It could certainly add some roundness to the head and the nose. I am just confused about whether the function of color in the piece is clear.</span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My last worry (for now at least...) is about the mood that is conveyed by the face. I kind of am looking for what the expression people think the portrait is giving off. Is it a grandfatherly look of warmth and concern? Is it a cynical look? Is it a condescending glance? I don't know whether what I intend to portray is actually being represented.<br /></span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kudos to anyone who was actually able to get through reading all of this...that is exceedingly impressive.<br /></span></span></span></li></ol><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">I'm really glad I was able to be so concise.</span>lhsap2aubreyfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462239870597526991noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506114442757141260.post-52344837728361856752007-10-09T04:46:00.000-07:002007-10-09T04:57:20.225-07:00Fretting over spilled milk...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa2yD7i3dlHj0G-Ehwd8Afohd4Jt0s9Gi2sRP3JrJk4dWtBch2PdaDm_QiMctdYYy_hBvLgbNb245cZCsraR-Qg21UNyZ4hc6Ik_hPqG_g4e6OewP85hajHMVD2oo4hpT7XPEjzIS8UYL/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119303739801133218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa2yD7i3dlHj0G-Ehwd8Afohd4Jt0s9Gi2sRP3JrJk4dWtBch2PdaDm_QiMctdYYy_hBvLgbNb245cZCsraR-Qg21UNyZ4hc6Ik_hPqG_g4e6OewP85hajHMVD2oo4hpT7XPEjzIS8UYL/s320/2.jpg" border="0" /></a> I'm really not sure what to do with this piece. The shapes of the bridge seem just a bit too sharp and distinct for my liking. The background also seems very plain. I worked on this light years ago and I just never really liked it. Please....rip the piece to shreds, because it needs it.<br /><div></div>lhsap2aubreyfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462239870597526991noreply@blogger.com5
