self portrait

So I have massive amounts of work to do. I will be gone until dec. 8th, after everything is due.

But when I finish, I will have lots to post (hopefully!)

Until then, i did for drawing.

These are the studies I did before. I already posted them individually, but here they are again.

thinks

This is a little doodle/something I did for my concept class. we are focusing on the processes in which we think, especially the subconscious and unconscious. This was my piece!

Thanks for the picture Dan!

Drawing stuff

I have been really crunched on time lately. Final project deadlines and essays are looming, on top of thanksgiving and Harry Potter tonight! Plus concert on Sunday, I better get a move on. Here is some stuff I have been doing in drawing. Also, today in my concept studio one of my classmates was talking about some book called Drawing with the Right side of the Brains, I think its called. I hope to check that out in the future because I feel that I have gotten really lazy with keeping up with my drawing and sketchbook, etc.

These two are pieces we were supposed to do REALLY REALLY FAST!!!! I think that they turned out interesting, I will definitely try to focus on trying to draw in different ways and styles in the future.

These two studies are mixed media (powdered charcoal, graphite stick, and white conte crayon). They are reminiscent of another piece I posted in high school, and my final drawing will be a self portrait in this style. The pictures do not do the materials justice though. It's due on this coming tuesday, so I better get on it soon!

Light project

These are photos from a sculpture I created by hand cutting newsprint. The first photo is the piece of paper before it was folded, and the rest of the photos are after. Sorry for the confusion!

WELDING CLASS!

So this mini (half semester) I am taking WELDING.

What better place to take a welding class than the city of steel?

Its really cool, using all the machines and stuff, and I feel like I have already learned a lot. Yay for learning! Our class is working on stick welding, it is supposedly the most difficult of all welds but is the most basic and versatile. Its really intense, you have to wear the helmet and thick gloves and protective jacket and there are sparks flying everywhere and its so loud! I really enjoy it. I have done a bunch of smaller practice welds, but here is the first completed practice project. The next project we have due is our FINAL PROJECT! crazy!

Artist Book

This is the artist book I did for my concept class. It is definitely is based some on the one I did in precollege with the circles and shapes, but is much more clean cut. These are all the pages and they are in order.
