Final Blog, Final project:
I am very pleased with the way that the final project turned out. The flowery/coral reef like design that seemed to repeat throughout the piece, I think, turned out to be very successful. I was pleased that I definitely added in more collage with this piece than anything that I have worked on this semester. In fact, I was so inspired by this that I am determined to complete more additional oil paintings dealing with the same theme. The drawing shapes that seemed to happen very spontaneously. I think that it could be pretty compelling with oil paint.
I worked very hard on this project. A lot of time went into it, as well as patience. Something that I would like to add in as a kind of side note: Dealing with the absences for the class, I know that there is no excuse when you get down to it. However, I feel the need to plead my case. I worked my ass of on four large paintings for my painting class. Staying up until the wee hours of the morning finishing critical areas. I never once lost sight of what I wanted to do with my variable topics assignment. However, I knew that the paintings deserved immediate attention. I mean no offense in saying that.
I think that the final project is proof that so much was learned throughout the course:
1) More fluidity and less timidity in drawing
2) Deep understanding and interests in abstract thought
3) Stronger interest in what were once unknown artists to me, and the concepts that they explore in their work
4) Evolution of individual color theory
5) Spawning of creativity through the use of a sketchbook, For once I have really been diligent with keeping a sketchbook and realizing that not every page has to be covered from top to bottom. Sparity sometimes can speak in its own certain way.
To Barbara: I thank you so much for helping me to find myself I hope that my endeavours as a student have been well received. I have enjoyed our chats and sharing our individuality. Thanks again.
