I spent $5 frivolously on a dress for my dog. I think I actually got a size too small so it doesn’t go down very far on her, but it’s still kind of cute I think. And I thought it was fun to go and look through all the clothing for dogs. They’re cute but [...]

Music Drawing
Posted in Work on December 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For this project we were asked to create a drawing based on an instrumental song that we were allowed to choose. I chose the song, “Greed,” by Ali Helnwein, one of my favorite modern composers (his father, Gottfried Helnwein, is actually my favorite artist). I used charcoal, gesso, graphite, and ink on paper; using different [...]
Book Drawings

This was one of my favorite projects. I thought the idea of making a small piece of art for an unknown person to someday find was an interesting and exciting idea. I like the thought that one day someone may find something that I have made in a book and I hope whoever finds these [...]
Plexiglass Design

I worked with Brian and Danielle on this project where we were asked to create an image using different pieces of plexiglass and colored paper. We choose four different colors of paper and got to work. We considered the colors we had to work with and tried to imagine what we could create from those [...]
Wood Floor Sculptures

For this project two partners and I were asked to arrange wood in different ways on the floor. I enjoyed working in a group and working outside of the classroom. I thought it was refreshing to take a break from working at a table or desk and work on a project in the floor. It [...]
Checkers with Charcoal
Posted in Work on December 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For this assignment, Jennifer and I played a game of checkers using a large sheet of white paper and charcoal. For every move we had to erase the old position of our checker and draw in the new location. It was fun playing a game I hadn’t played in years and it was interesting erasing [...]
Google Images

The word I choose for this project was “empty.” I thought it was a word that was vague enough to give me a variety of images and interesting enough to give me images that would be fun to work with. I looked through a lot of pages at google until I found the images that [...]
Diebenkorn Photographs
Posted in Work on December 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I enjoyed working on this project a lot. I love photography and it was interesting to try and photograph things that reminded me of Diebenkorn’s style of drawings. My photos were mostly taken in alleys in downtown Wilmington and Greensboro. I felt like the more rugged downtown architectural style and the dirtiness of the alleys [...]
Diebenkorn Charcoal Drawing
Posted in Work on December 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For this project I worked with Jennifer to try and recreate a drawing by Diebenkorn. Since the drawing was basically split by a line down the center we decided to each work on one half at a time so we could focus more on the details in smaller sections. It’s interesting trying to replicate another [...]
