End of the Year

It's the end of the year and I'm really sad. I did not expect to befriend everyone in my major, but I am glad that I did. Damn, there were definitely some good memories that were made in George Read North (sorry Rodney residents!). I hope that we visit each other throughout summertime, but I know that I cannot wait until next semester even though I am glad the year is over with. I have never taken real art classes before college, but now that I have, I love art even more. My thought process has opened up and I have created some things I am very proud of (some I am not proud of...haha). I cannot even try to describe the best things that have happened this year, let alone this semester. Maybe at a later date, when I become REALLY nostalgic about college, I will describe them to you. But for now, I am just sad to see everything coming to an end. Summer is here and school is out. Everyone have fun and be safe.

Xoxo,

Numbers

This is my final project that I finished in Drawing 2. The theme was numbers. When asked what I was passionate about, I could not think of anything to be honest. So then Cody suggested looking at my own life and how numbers are created through my actions. Because I have many things to do everyday, I travel all over New Castle County so I figured I would record, visually, where I went. This piece is the result of my travels throughout two weeks. The tacks represent where I went and the red string records the paths I took. I am very interested in the line composition that occurs as a result of this. I might continue doing some pieces with this idea in mind.

Hope

This is my favorite piece that I did in Drawing 2 this semester. It was a multi-media process piece about emotion. However, Cody Bloom (my graduate teacher) told me to just DRAW whatever you felt. I guess this composition came out from a lot of Hans Zimmer and Miranda Lambert. In my critique I got "blood" and "sewage". But, I'd like to call it Hope. Ink, Pastel, Acrylic, and Newspaper were used as the materials. Hope you like it.
