Wanting Summer badly

               Huh, I guess I really been putting this off for a bit. Just saying that I'm not really dead but sucked into my finals work. That will usually what will happen with artist, we don't mean to be anti-social but working on art pieces because people want perfection, or something that they don't want. 

             Anyways, I didn't stay at school for open house this year because I want to be home to distress myself any more. If I did stay, saturday would be a constant tour group looking through our entire house and I feel I couldn't get anything started or done by. So, I wasn't able to get a lot of open house pictures but I got a couple, both showing the process and the quality amount of work students have been making. Here is the third floor, this is the hallway of 2-D Design work and mix media. 

           

These are some of the Fine art Drawing& Painting and foundation course.

Next is the large Life Drawing and Advance Drawing class room, I was happy that some of my portraits were put up at least. 

Also here is the illustration wall for open house, see if you can find my where three of my pieces are.

Then Senior Gallery shows have been coming up and have been a ton of inspiration to check out. I first one that I went (which was probably three weeks ago) was the "After the Fact" gallery: the mixture of animator and graphic designer gallery. The featured animators were Kaitlyn Assmann, Anthony Corrado, Patrick Gerety and Dakota-Lynn Zouzias. Then for Graphic Designers are Sarah Middleton, Alyssa Pettit, Deborah Manchester, Brenda Roswess and Mayuka Fujii. I can say that each one of them had their personal passion incorporated into their concentration and art theme. Go check out their websites to learn more about them.

 Then there was the large illustration show "To the Nine", featuring Hannah Connolly, Emily Weigert, Anthony Milani, Lisa Martinez, Jennifer East, Elliott Grinnell, Rose Fristrom, Kaleena Deshawn and Kaleena Deshawn and Krista Erickson. I definitely recommend you check out their websites or artwork on your own because there was so much great stuff that I cannot show myself. If you like watercolor, gouache, pen & ink, pastel and mix media, you'll enjoy their unique approach on the medium.    

Senior Thesis Temporary Ground

                 Also on Wednesday I got to see the reception for another Senior Thesis Exhibition "Temporary ground". The Featured artists here, and that you should look up, were Christine April, Dominique Butori, Zoey Chapin, Kat Gozy, Christiana Lauzon, Morgan O'Donnell-Curry and Michael Parrillo.
                 When stepping in the gallery, it reminded in a lot of the beach shores from my home and the beach nearby my college. All the pieces seem to make an impression of something that has existed there and something new being created over time so I think that the title "Temporary Ground" is the perfect.

Walking on box of sand and water!! Amazing!!

Being Animated, gallery pictures and animated vlog

Hey, This is early but here are more Senior thesis shows for animators and fine arts medium.

The bottom picture is a homemade lithograph print I did in a printing workshop.

Lastly, today's vlog video that relates to the overall basics of being at an art school. Sorry for the lacking illustrations but I haven't been on AIllustrator in awhile and was balance with final touches on finals. I hope you enjoy it and understand what I am saying on camera :)

Here are more Open house pictures of the foundation floor

                    So before my book club meeting and four hours of painting, I got to snap shot at some of the foundation and illustrations work displayed on the second floor, the main floor people scroll through. You might see some familiar pieces from other gallery shows. 

This section if from my last favorite semester class, Information, Images and Ideas. What I submitted was my moleskin watercolor sketch book, located below. I didn't have any final pieces so I just wished to show the sketches that were produced in that class and the sketches I continued onwards. Just wanted so show how passionate I was about this medium and maybe bring some inspiration. 

Probably one of my favorite gallery shows is the life drawing class. All these sketches and search drawing are a great example of seeing artwork develop overtime. From the standard line drawing in charcoal, into three dimensional, connective drawing. I'm happy about taking this class and drawing 1 and can combine these elements together in some way.
