YAY!! 43 days!!!

final reflection

Some last thoughts about this class.

i though that this class is one of the best classes i've taken at beaver. it felt really good to be able to come up here everyday and be able to work on something that was completely made up by me. i think the amount of direction and support we got was the perfect amount. i am pretty happy with the work that i was able to make this term i just wish i had like six more months to keep working. i feel like i have just gotten into the swing of things and now i have to stop. i think that i did not fully comprehend the amount of time that we had for the class and my initial plan was completely unrealistic for the time we had. however i think that i was able to spend enough time on the things that i will be showing to be proud of them.

Definite things going in the gallery:

- painting of girl

-bird video

- cranes

hopefuls:

- drawing of david

- drawing of skull

even though most of the actual drawing of the two were not done during the class i think that they will be able to tie all of my pieces together well and that was something that i was nervous about before.

the most important thing that i learned during this class is how to find things that independently i am proud of and have the drive to keep working on. i feel very committed to all of the work i have been doing and i think that it is really important to feel that since there is so much pressure on these works. since we had no outside parameters for the work we were doing everything we made is a direct reflection on our sensibilities as artists. knowing that is a lot of pressure and i think that it drove me to hopefully make the best work that i can

over all this class was amazing and the best part of my day.

critique number 2

Ideas:

- find a way to tie all the pieces together

- make the bird fly around the school

- make a promo type thing for the gallery by having it fly around pieces there

Painting

started a new painting. im not sure about the size of the head yet. i also need to tweak the colors a little

Second raven video

this is a more real version of what i hope to do

Critique

Ideas for flip book stuff:

- maybe use photoshop to put the birds on different backgrounds

- maybe not using the gallery at a place to project it 

- telling a story with the places that it goes

ways to show everything:

- contrasting the nature and the city 

- using my elephant stamp and making another more man made stamp

- putting them on the wall to connect the two themes
