I really should use this more!

I just listed some sites and message boards I've toyed with a bit this year. I'm thinking of doing one just for art. Would anyone be interested????

My latest toys!

I found a new 19th century butter churn on E-bay and an original ad for a butter worker like the one I have to present butter making with. I'm excited!

I hope everyone else is having a grand 2010 so far. I am!

I made it through the semester!

Here are a couple pictures of my final wire project. It turned a bit more towards mixed media as you'll see.

The semester is wrapping up!

It's been a hard one with all the gen eds. I much prefer my art classes. With two more pieces due I currently have an A in 3D art. I think I've finished with a B in math. I'm hoping if I do well on my last paper to get a B in my writing class. And french, well, miracles can happen! Let's just hope for a C. I'm doing my best is all I can say with that class.

"Family Time" by, well, ME!

Update

I really should post more here. I've just been busy with school. Later this week when I take quality pictures of it I'll post my box art from school. I gutted my dad's old broken grandmother clock and filled it with momentos ala Joseph Cornell. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the better peices I've done.

School is off to a good start!

The hardest course by far is French I. I'm just not very good at languages. But, it's fun in that I like the teacher and fine him quite interesting and funny. The class rolls along quite quickly. I just wish I was more skilled at it!

So far the math 110 is going well. I'm actually understanding most of it. And again, it's not a strong subject for me so I'm pleased. And again, I really like this teacher. In fact, I really like all my teachers!

I was a little nervous this morning in W290 (Writing). I thought I completely took the wrong approach for my research paper as I was led by the authors (artists) motivations versus just their works, but I think the Professor helped me find a good foundation for the paper. I believe, at least starting out, that I'm going to research Emily Dickinson's 'miraculous year' and take a look at it from the angle of what was going on historically, personally for her and where it appears to have led her works (themes). I can take examples from that period to work with. She wrote over 360 poems that year!

As for 3D Art I'm really liking that too! I'm making 3D toilet paper food and my food is a crab soup in 18th century bowls and kettles. My box art will be generational in nature with a 'private' feel to it. I'm setting it up that you have to look in a 'window' to see what's in it. :)
