:)

I enjoyed the exhibition last night it was rather fun, and made me feel rather proud of myself.
My family & friends showed up, but my boy came too late and it had closed :(
i have gotten nearly everything done, But some things are unprinted, also some of my artworks are in the gallery so they can't be handed in with my folio, i have set up most of my stuff for my folio, and plan on making it look really nice.
I am a little worried about this, i really want to past, i have completed everything..
except for one thing, & haven't written much in my blog.
this course has taught me quite a bit throughout the year, and I'm glad i did it.

I am aiming for a good pass. :)

keep in touch people :)

Novel painting.

I really liked this piece, as it shows the unity between the 3 photos, obviously the story line is that the girl likes horses, and horse's live by eating plants etc, and the rose symbolizes love.

more. figure drawing

I tried to redo this one, and make it look more in proportion compared to the one on the left. :)

monotype.

I really enjoyed doing mono types, i wish we had of done more on that topic,
i liked the out come of the mono types, i didn't really engage in doing prints though.

Another figure drawing

it was so much easier not including the head in this drawing, as i'm not very good at drawing them.
I can only really draw cartoon heads/anime.

figure drawing.

This is my favorite figure drawing that have done, it could do with more work though.

:)

got the 12 photos done,
the movement black and white shots, in the city.
was rather a lot more challenging than i thought it'd be.
but here are some of my shots to the left :)

I haven't let completed the video, as i don't have access to a video camera, i asked my sister if i could borrow hers, but she never got back to me, hopefully ill be able to finish it tomorrow. :)

No luck.

As of late things have become a little hot and heavy again with family and others,
but I'd rather not get into it, it's just hard to focus on getting things done when my mind is else where!
also getting out of bed when feeling sick & run down, But i shall just suck it up! and I'll complete everything.

I haven't exactly thought of an idea for the video, because i don't have a video camera at home, so i've never really experimented with Filming... i guess you could say it's not something that i excel in. For the 12 photographs project, i plan to use movement as my main focal point by taking shots that show everyday life for example a man who has dropped his newspaper and goes to pick it up, or joggers, jogging down the street.

I wasn't able to get the whisper soundtrack off Ben for my rose piece in the gallery so it wont exactly look and sound as good as I'd like...

Proposal. =)

My proposal,
firstly starts of with the idea of the business in the city, people running, jogging,
walking down the streets of the city...

Form:
I am going to portray a scene of motion within my photo, of people walking, running, jogging etc.
And also plan to set a gray scale shade so it sets the image back to the past.

CONTENT:
-People walking.
-Trees.
-Plants.
-Grass.
-Buildings.

INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER'S:
Dave Beckerman.



I'm rather excited for this project, because i love photography! =D

i believe ...

i'm definately not coping with the work load, the amount of stuff we have to complete,
we don't have enough time to focus on one thing, and i can't get my stop motion completed because the stupid premier pro program is way too slow... i'm just about over drawing noses, mouths and ears... and once i've drawn about 10 i get sick of it...

so far i've completed:
-2 drawings in the likeness of Auerbach, Jawlensky, Cubism, Giacometti.
-1 portrait front view or 3/4 view.
-Two etchings (edition of 6)
-Digital Etching (which has been moved and i can't find it...)
-monotypes.
-2 best collographs.
-12 portrait images printed 30 -35cm X 40 cm.
-12 thumbnail photos in journal plus short description of technique.
-Dream/memory video projection and painting.


To yet to be completed:
-Drawings Text and Self. (wont be completed by tomorrow)
-Distortion portrait. (i've got no idea what this is?)
-Video and Painting. (more than half done)
-1 digital monotype. (could be done by tomorrow)

=)

Extremely out of the ordinary.

I was just walking around at a station i had got off to goto a friends in the city around 5 o"clock
and the walked straight past this gallery and walked backwards and the sign said open, so i walked in had a browse and asked, how would i get my work into a gallery, and she said just send me pictures of your work and i'll see if it will work n this gallery, she seemed really keen,

Wish me luck!!

Keeping upto date.. =/

With these blog entries, i didn't realise they were such a must,
if i had of known the deadline was 15 posts, before 3 days till assessment,
then i could of done this a little better..

Everything is just getting ontop of me all the time,
Getting out of a very violent relationship after a year, then my mum going into hospital for 3 weeks,
and dealing with all that stress has sort of made me, not focus as much.

I havent been myself for the past year and now i'm getting back to my old self,
realising what i need and what i should be doing...

so hopefully next semester will be a better time for me =)

Disaster has occured...

I now, can't find my video of myself i had edited it was on my usb and now isn't,
and i'm beginning to believe all the stuff i had on my usb i pulled onto the desktop and havent put it all back...
so now.... i've got NO clue what i'm going to do..... =(
I've so far done:
-Urban Myth.
-Int & Exterior.
-Tshirt.
-Triangles, Circles & Squares.
-Stop motion.
-Painting of tree. (Digital one not printed, coz of usb lost everything)
-Sketches.
-Proposal.
-Portrait.
-Night Photography.
-Collages.
-Bottles.
-Sculpture.
-OHS Essay- On Powerpoint.

I hope that, not having 2 things will be acceptable... given my circumstances.
I am very annoyed that i've lost my face and head video, because i was really pleased with it... =/
Feel free to look at my stop motion, i didnt have a tripod but i tried my hardest to make it stable and not moving..

Sorting out all my artworks

I've put all my artwork that i've done into an old art folder, its look pretty cool.

i really like my urban myth but i am affraid to touch it with paint, but i guess i gotta do it.. =/

Busy day.

Today was a rather busy day, holding a horse on sting and moving it bit by bit to make a stop motion video, i have taken all the photographs i just have to find out how to put it all together,
and the digital tree i had redone the second time is lost again it was on my usb and now it isn't, so i have no way on getting that back, and i'm really worried about not having it for Friday, but i have done nearly everything, i would of liked to have more time to put into my artwork... but sadly there is a deadline...

Rose vine Project

I was very happy about the feed back from everyone,
and the amount of good comments i had got from my artwork. =)

Light Project

At the moment every night consists of watching a movie or listening to music and twisting green wires together to make sure that if i do get chosen for this project i will be ready and will be able to make it in this short amount of time that we do have. At least now i don't have to paint the wire green i actually found green wire in Bunnings and it is much easier to twist around.
And as for life drawing, i pretty much suck! my proportion is really off and i CANT draw hands or feet i either draw them too small or too demented... i managed to draw one i liked...and surprisingly it was one of the quick 5 minute ones. =/

I seem to work too small,
Everyone's skull drawing was much bigger..
and much better than mine.

Unsure.

I'm not sure if this is what i'm supposed to be doing but i thought i'd give it a try.
Sorry for having the day off the other day at tafe, things are rather getting on top of me a lot,
having terrible family problems combined with others and it is clouding into my head which makes
it uneasy to focus on my artwork, i feel like i can't work to the best of my ability at the moment,
but i will try...

After, my little spill..
i don't know what i need to put on this blog thing..
Do we just put stuff that's based on what we're doing?? *confused* =/
