I chose this story because it is one of my most earliest and most vivid memories of my life. Throughout working on this project, I was heavily influenced by Tony Shipp's portfolio. I attended the faculty show where there was an art piece deep inside some extensive framing lit up by a lamp, making the art work the frame and lighting affects entirely. The method made the actual piece of art in the center pop out and I wanted to get close to achieving this effect. First I drew my mother using conte crayon on black artagain paper. Representationally, I drew my mother, conceptually speaking, I drew my mother distraught and with exaggerated features. I did this because I wanted the piece to give off a similar feel of what happened that day and a fearful emotion. I wanted the intensity felt when you leaned in close and looked into the eyes. The rest of the piece is more simple to explain the creating process. I built a frame using the same method I would use to build a frame for stretching a canvas over before painting. Next I painted the frame black. I kept the nails and screws visible intentionally when constructing. I copied black and white maps of Salado, Texas, where this event took place. I scattered the maps on a piece of masonite board attached with ModPodge, then I added another layer of maps followed by a second layer of ModPodge for a glazed effect over the maps. I also used ModPodge because I wanted the maps to be somewhat 3 dimensional from the masonite giving the effect of actual paper maps as if they were sitting in the seat of a car then tossed around in the air if that car were to wreck. Next I placed the drawing inside a glass and wood frame, cutting out the silhouette of my mother's head and leaving the background transparent so the maps behind would then be visible. I attached this frame with the drawing on top of the masonite and larger black frame by using long black screws, placing it in the center of the maps and sitting about 2 inches from the background. To light the piece and continue the black and white color theme so that it would seem apart of the piece as a whole, I placed a black and white lamp above the whole piece. Then, to continue the melancholy mood behind the art work, I used a red light bulb to light up the whole piece.<br />

Unlike the first proposal, this piece will not have so many parts to it, it will basically be a 2 in one sculpture with a couple found objects but the mass of the entire piece can fit on a single pedestal. Half of this will be a subtractive sculpture (from wood) of myself or a human figure, the other half will be a skull, and on top of our joined heads will be a crown, symbolizing a prolonged search for a higher power. A couple found or acquired objects included, one having to do with a light source. I don't want to give all the details away because I want the finished piece to speak for itself. The metaphor is death in the presence of a being, and all things that can be associated with it. I'll explain more after the piece is finished.Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-89520703201050604482011-03-16T09:18:00.000-07:002011-03-16T09:30:28.986-07:00Metaphorical Proposal #1<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My project could be considered completely self sufficient as far as being based upon metaphors and memories. I am drawing my inspiration from my life map occurrences in place of the short story. I have one general, overall theme, created by combing multiple metaphors. It revolves around the metaphor of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">art saving my life</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. Even though my proposal is based around a single, vague metaphor, visually multiple works of art will represent it. All of which, relating to memories within my life map list. I will also create a high representation of contrast within the assemblage of metaphors combined with very literal based objects and an overall metaphor that is more conceptual. In the first step to achieve this, I will develop multiple sculptures or three-dimensional objects to symbolize negative social practices and influences that in some way can relate to my past experiences. For example:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Consider the following broken down into three categories: memories/experiences, literal metaphors, and the process of creating each. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Early collegiate party category--"shit faced"--Sculpt a head or a bust out of plaster or clay w / simulated waste on the face. --"smoke a roach"--Collect or sculpt an actual roach bug and place it between a clip or tweezers. --"cancer stick"--Wooden sticks or tree branches in a cigarette package. --"skunk beer"--A beer bottle w/ a picture of a skunk as the label. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Past relationship(s) category--"devil in disguise"--Sculpt a seemingly attractive girl w/half of her head resembling the devil</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><!--StartFragment--><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Depression, aftermath of </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">a failed relationship, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">negative lifestyle category--"losing control", "losing my mind"--</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Acquire or create a section of a </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">tree trunk, stapled upon it, a sign </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">resembling a lost pet flyer with a </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">picture of text reading control and </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">sanity, both with dog collars </span></span><!--EndFragment--></div><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--> <!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--> <!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--> <!--StartFragment--> <!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--> <!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--> <!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><!--EndFragment--> <div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNormal">(note, all metaphors are created in a very literal sense for a purpose)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Along with the pieces above, also placed in the same space will be other paraphernalia symbolizing this type of lifestyle, not necessarily relating to my past involvement but more to describe this genre. Such as, an empty condom box representing multiple sexual exploits, a broken piggy bank representing a malpractice in responsible budgeting, and empty pill bottles, further representing drug use. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">All of these objects will then be enclosed inside a cage made up of paint brushes, sketching pencils, and other artistic mark making utensils. The cage or cell will also have chains and locks attached. This cell locking away all the negatively portrayed objects will represent how art stepped into my life and muted the extremities of past habits and influences, separating them from personal interaction. However, this cell will not be completely solid, the gaps between the utensils will make this personal separation porous, symbolizing the fact that the negative attributes are not completely shut off from existence and memory. Therefore, annoyingly they have the ability to leak through and contaminate my current self or cause influence. In which way I choose for these memories to influence me however, as an artist, fortunately is now up to me. I now have the ability to take these influences and channel them as sources for content in my artwork, therefore possibly considered a positive outcome. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Next to the cage will be a first aid kit. Only this first aid kit will not contain medical supplies but instead art supplies. I will create packages that will closely resemble actual medical ones filled with things like a tube of paint in place for antibacterial cream, a roll of a canvas strip in place for gauze, paint brushes, pencils, strips of paper, charcoal, etc. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Each setting will be displayed close together on multiple podiums and I will incorporate different lighting into each scenario. </div>Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-30081462122093601832011-03-15T13:53:00.000-07:002011-03-15T13:53:54.185-07:00Mark Making Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>For my final mark making project I found scraps of rusted steel and assembled them with the principles of gestalt in mind. Selecting pieces that I thought when set next to each other, still with a gap in between each piece, seemed to be apart of a whole. I wanted to show one of two emotions, either anger or fear. The dark, red/brown rust color of the metal I thought would go well with a monochromatic orange/red paint and would also go along with an anger or fear theme. To bring it all together, make the piece seem complete and professional, and to make it all pop out even further from the wall when displayed, I coated each piece with a thick polyurethane. When installing the piece, I wanted it to set off of the wall so shadows from the edgy metal would be apparent. I installed it using black screws and keeping the pieces 2-3 inches off the wall. I then experimented with different types of lighting for the final touch.<br />

Creating a list of 100 things that are uncomfortable.Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-34480228370368067842011-02-28T06:04:00.000-08:002011-02-28T06:04:20.818-08:00Life Map List<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Born in Temple TX.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">-Temple is where my grandparents live and my grandfather’s church is. I love and respect the both of them very much.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lived in Salado TX<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">-This is where I spent my very early childhood; I have faint memories of this place with the exception of one very visually scarred occurrence. Our house was located at the top of a hill with a creek below. My younger brother, mother, and I were about to head to town for baseball pictures. We had just sat down in the car when my mother realized that my younger brother had forgot his baseball glove. She ran inside for a short moment to retrieve it. When she was inside, my younger brother climbed into the driver seat and put the car in neutral. As the car started rolling backwards down the hill with the two of us still inside, my mother came out of the house. She tried to catch up to the car but the hill was too steep and the car was now moving too fast. She managed to grab the handle of a door. I can still see her facial expression as she was tossed around like a rag doll back and forth from the door slamming. She was drug down most of the hill because she refused to lose her grip. I grabbed my younger brother and put him underneath a seat of the car. We crashed backwards into the creek. I can still remember the color of the rocks beneath the clarity of the water. My mother still has the scars covering her legs. I always regretted being too young and helpless to do anything. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lived in Boerne TX<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">-We moved to Boerne before I started kindergarten. I remained here all the way through high school. There are so many memories from this place to narrow down. To summarize, I grew up in the country. I fell in love with what some call the “hill country”, which Boerne was at the heart of. I played sports all my life. Football was extremely big in this town, especially when my class became seniors in high school because our history breaking season. When you think of a typical Dazed and Confused or Varsity Blues, Texas small town and the high school days portrayed, they are comparable to Boerne. This is where I had my first life experiences. This is where I dated the prettiest, most popular girl in the school. This is where I built a reputation only to be knocked down, but a reputation none the least. This is where I made plenty of bad decisions and learned from mistakes. However, this is also where I experienced great achievements. This is my hometown. This will always be my hometown. I love this place. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moved to College Station after high school<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">-My two best friends and I found a house together. The plan was to attend Blinn College and make the grades to transfer to A&M considering that’s where we were raised to go. When we realized the limitless extents of our talent to throw the best, most famous parties, the priority of making the grades began to fade away. This is where I had some of the best, most fun times of my entire life and created memories that will last forever. I went through many relationships here. This is where I first fell in true love. This is where I feel like I abandoned my friends for a relationship that no matter how hard I tried to keep it together, it was destined to fall apart. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moved to Huntsville<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">-Although I commuted to Sam Houston State from College Station for a while, the decision to move to Huntsville came upon the graduation of my girlfriend at the time from A&M. We had plans to last for the long run. She found a job as a third grade teacher in Huntsville. I was a horticulture major focusing on landscape design and a mere year and half left to go before graduating. We found a great two-story house in Elkins Lake with a small back yard, two-car garage, fireplace, and a big front porch. We would watch our favorite T.V. shows at the end of the day. We would have family in for the weekends and I would fire up the grill in the backyard while the dogs played. We would take walks down to the lake in the evenings. I enjoyed mowing and yard work on the weekends. Everything seemed to be on the right track. I had a ring picked out and financial arrangements in the making, we were to be engaged. Like a flawless pane of glass being dropped from a great height, everything seemed to shatter in seconds, for us, a month. What I believed to be untouchable and truly consistent turned out to be a skin covering ugliness underneath. An act, an illusion. This is that moment that you fall backwards and reach around for something to grab on to but nothing exists. This is where I was suddenly living alone in a town I knew no one, feeling like everything was now pointless. She was in another relationship within weeks. She is now engaged. I still see her car around town from time to time. This is when the decision to study art literally saved my life. This is when art helped me to get back on solid ground again and remember what it was like to stand up. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lived in Huntsville for coming on 2 years <o:p></o:p></b></div>Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-31088374791738150582011-02-27T21:40:00.000-08:002011-02-27T21:40:08.671-08:00monologue: a traditional rebellionInstead of just plain talking into a camera for this assignment like everyone else, I wanted to incorporate different elements in my video to display a specific feeling. Elements that I could include without any editing to achieve this, as to fall inside the guidelines for this project. Such as... light, background audio, an action, props, and a bit of acting.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Materials</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Yes, the materials respond or resonate with the objects chosen as modules. Every object and material including binding agent works together with one another and the relationship with the light. This piece could incorporate other material as far as the relationship between one another and light, but as far as my concept goes, these are the precise materials I think can only be used in a general sense. The only real difficulty that I had with these materials was the inability for a few bottom of the glasses to stay in place. Meaningful discoveries….light adds an entirely different perception. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Process/Ambitiousness</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">As far as scale, if I am standing straight up next to the piece it is not taller than me but in mass the piece is just as big if not bigger. The piece changed from the initial imaginings by the substitution of plaster with broken liquor bottles because of the focus on concept. The final piece is more ambitious because of the impact the substituted material brings to the piece and relationship with the additional objects visually. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Craftsmanship</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The only issue I have regarding craftsmanship with this piece is the podium.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Form</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The dominant formal elements are shape, color, texture, value, and space. These elements are visible and important in the piece, especially value with the impact of my concept. The dominating principles visible or implied in this piece are hierarchy, repetition, unity, balance, space, and similarity/difference. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Concept</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The concept does relate to the object’s history, function, and purpose in this piece. The concept is based around alcoholism and each material revolves in some way around alcohol and displays a symbol of alcoholism. Rock salt is sometimes incorporated into alcoholic drinks and represents a craving. Champagne glasses speak for themselves and represent appeal and beauty. They broken shards of glass are from liquor bottles and represent fragility. The presentation is made to look visually beautiful and appealing with the incorporation of light but the concept will alter that opinion when explained. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

The surroundings help to make the piece illuminate and glow. The surroundings also work in contrast with this piece. </span></div>Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-86543589749043101452011-02-23T05:23:00.000-08:002011-02-23T05:23:44.212-08:00Modular Madness 2.0<div style="text-align: center;">So as I was going about creating one of my first proposals for this project, I began to focus more on concept and the desire to experiment with light and the relationship with the materials I could use. Halfway through installation, I scratched the idea of using plaster. Although I wanted to incorporate it because of the artistic aspects and texture, I found that broken liquor bottles were a much better substitution considering the concept behind this piece and the incorporation of light. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My concept is based around alcoholism. The crystals of rock salt represent the craving that we all have, the shards of broken glass that is actually from whiskey bottles represent the fragility that one has as an alcoholic and how close to the breaking point one can be, and the presentation and light represents the social appeal that alcohol holds in society. So in a way, I have three modular madness projects in one setting, 100+ glasses, 100+ rock salt pieces, 100+ shards of glass. </div>Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-10470504389567840982011-02-21T07:23:00.000-08:002011-02-21T07:23:04.071-08:00Butt its ok because its art!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For this project, each member of our group had to chose 2 designs from our final dot collection and together, we had to come up with a photo shoot where we would incorporate the dots in human form. Our theme was based around this: We considered the cleanliness and perfection aspects present in most dot forms so we wanted to come up with a concept in contrast. By doing so, we combined a mixture of studio and photographic practices to create an edgy, unique, raw, and artistic feel, yet still achieving the visual shape of dots.

Think of the concept of life in its entirety and consider it a design. When applied to the comparison of 2 dimensional versus 3 dimensional designs; actions, adventures, and emotions that are the spice of life are only a few considerations when determining the correct category of design. Obviously one would place life as a 3 dimensional design. Obviously, unless in the presence of a pessimistic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although there are many more than just three considerations included within these characteristics that are the make up of the mass of life. If it were even theoretically possible to transform the concept of life into a physical structure in which to be worked and altered then labeled as a design, it could most certainly develop a completely new design theory in itself. However, to stay the course, lets finalize the general decision that, if the concept of life were a design, it would be correct to associate this design as containing 3 dimensions. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Further, in this 3 dimensional design, lies a very ironic contradiction. The contradiction that one could say that the so called “key” to life within this design is in fact the skeleton in which the 3 dimensionality revolves around. But the irony is that this skeleton is 2 dimensional. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only a 2 dimensional design, but also an actual design that is existent and visible all around us. A line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A line, created in the half way distance of the characters discussed earlier that are the make up of life. These could also be looked at in positive and negative generalizations. The line exists as the balance between positive and negative, high and low. It is the middle ground. Although there could be near infinity, the basic characteristics that might be commonly considered are happiness, sadness, loss, achievement, loneliness, and belonging. One could also say that the aspects here that create line are in fact the same aspects that create the foundation in which the 3 dimensionality of the life design is based upon. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This life/design theory proves that the key to life is to contain a constant even keel. Entertainment is applied when the truth becomes visible, exploiting the fact that in what manner and basis you choose to hold that even keel is completely up to you as an individual. After all, if we all were on the same key line, life just might become bland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How you cross the line is completely up to you. Unfortunate? Or the rarest form of fortune? It is a question of morality. </span></div>Nic Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085080699053407212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735401800512156942.post-8740372873250832152011-02-14T07:02:00.000-08:002011-02-14T07:02:28.755-08:00Another reason why I'm becoming a Lucian Freud fanHAY!

<div>Over the Christmas break, myself and fellow art students/ friends, Daniel Bertalot and Jay Cronin, renovated an old dentist office in downtown Huntsville transforming an abandoned, useless office that nobody wanted into a fully functional art studio (and rapidly doubling as the ultimate man cave). Although the flipping proved a little tough and costly, the results have been worth while. In the future we have plans for custom canvas construction and sales, private lessons, and commissioned work. Here are a few pics of our studio "The Guild".

I'll call and raise you 1,000,000,000,000!.... (but probably not really)So for the Modular Madness project, I started out completely blank. I had no idea what objects I would choose from and/or what I would create with these objects. Now i'm torn between three proposals.<br />
My first concern was cost, I didn't want to buy anything that I was most likely bound to throw away after grading. So, I went through my apartment trying to find something and discovered a box of 500 Q-Tips under the sink. Great!... I thought. Until I started playing with them and working with hot glue to get an idea of a proper binding agent. Turns out the sticks break, get dirty, and move around very easily. So I went back to the drawing board and this time the thought of spending a little cash seemed necessary.<br />
We watched a video in class representing the jist of this project mixed with performance art, using q-tips ( ironic...don't ya think? ) doused in different colored paints while attached to someones head. The idea of turning this project into a performance piece sparked my curiosity. With performance in mind and the likely hood of using hot glue as a binding agent because of its accessibility and simplicity, I thought why not combine this medium, concept, and use as a binding agent together. I would use glue sticks, by stacking or grouping, to create the sculpture, bind it together with dots of melted hot glue, then when constructed, for the performance aspect, take a blow torch or a heat gun to the sculpture to melt it all down and together. But, the only draw back to this plan would be the high cost of 100+ glue sticks. (and when I say "high" cost, look at the common price of a bag of glue sticks from the perception of someone that is broke as a joke).<br />
My third proposal, and the one I am now most interested in, combines the use of plaster and the 100+ objects placed inside. When set, I would carve away at the plaster creating the sculpture and exposing the items set inside. This idea follows more under the traditional practices of art which I am most interested in but still meets the technical guidelines of this project (awesome). Plaster = binding agent. Organic pieces set in plaster = 100 or more objects. Me = 1. WASH = 0.<br />

Anyone?... if you answered no, then maybe you should re-think your degree plan, cus that place is durkin awesome ( <--- and thats no typo ). Now, I know we had a written and sketching assignment for the Menil, which I enjoyed and some will be posted below just to share a little with everyone; but what I would like to know is what everyone thought about Cy Twambly's scribbles and Tony Smith's "drawings". Leave a comment!<br />
<br />
<br />
(Writing assignment, question A)---<br />
My favorite piece at the Menil, and will most likely continue to be my favorite, is 1 out of the 3 versions of "The Empire of Lights" by Rene Magritte, located in the surrealism section. I could sit and stare at that painting all day and never get bored. I want to live in that scene. There is something incredibly soothing and relaxing in the contrast between the soft glow of the street lamp masked by the calm night and the perfection in the way he painted the bright clouds in the summer resembling sky. Somehow the contrasting time periods represented together in one scene works so well together and I want to know how he discovered that concept. He makes it look like this scenario is plausible. And to answer the part of the question regarding repetition and rhythm, the painting in fact does exhibit this in the clouds. Also, I know that question "A" asks about our favorite piece but I would just like to take this time to say Cy Twambly and Tony Smith's work is crap. Thank you and have a nice day.<br />

Oh, and does anyone else get instantly depressed when you walk into the Rothko Chapel, or is it just my personal problems? On the other hand, I thought the Byzantine Chapel was amazing!!<br />

When we were sitting in class cutting up pieces of newspaper and creating a "contour/ topographic map" design or "magnet shaving" design revolving around our dot or square final, I took a moment to look around the room and really take in the scene before me. It was a glorious scene. Students sitting around with scissors and glue sticks, playing with newspapers, giggling in conversation, some resembling satisfaction, some seeming somewhat distraught, TA's and instructors walking around either acknowledging an accomplishment or making suggestions ( yes, apparently there is a right or wrong way to cut and glue newspaper around dots and squares ). Looking around at this wonderful sight, I couldn't help but think that we were one string of drool and an empty gaze away from frighteningly resembling doped up mental patients locked inside an institute given a craft assignment to keep our level of ignorance at an all time high. And suddenly I felt as if this was a waste of time and even began to feel a little pissed off. SORRY!<br />
Am I the only one that felt like this? Please students, interact with me, leave some feedback. Instructors all over the art department crave honesty and the participation in critiques from students. Well lets dip our artistic fingers a little in this controversially oozing assignment. I KNOW there are at least a few of you all out there that believe we aren't reaching the full potential of some of the time spent here. Now is your "unrated comment free opportunity". Leave a comment on this blog about what you TRULY think about every assignment that seems to keep lingering on around these gestalt/ dot/ squares. I am SO curious to know how everyone feels and thinks, that's all ( Im not aiming to just rag on our assignments here ).....( not completely at least )..... ( god I hope these blogs of mine don't lead to serious repercussions, ergo failing ).... ( I just said "ergo" ).

FINALLY, LET THE REALISTIC CREATION BEGIN!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> SO.. the latest 3D assignment. Mas cardboard. Only this assignment I was rather excited going into it. We were given ( or in my case, I chose )...( guilty as charged ) a small object. The point of the assignment is to re-create this object on an excessively larger scale using cardboard. The object has to interact with your body or you have to be able to wear it. My object is the Sam Houston State official ring. We then had to draw up 3 proposals with sketches and details revolving around the function of the object relating to your body. We then hung those proposals up around the WASH building and everybody got to vote on which proposal they would rather see us create.<br />

<br />
So heres the deal. The ring/belt idea wound up getting the most votes, but I think its because everyone understood the assignment to be a required piece that you can wear. I understood that it had to interact with your body. Well, sorry fellow students, but the belt idea was just a last resort thrown together. Boring. Boring. Plain. Boring. I would much rather build a giant structure where you have to interact with IT more than IT interacting with YOU... Sooo thats what I chose. ( Im very selfish when it comes to my art work. )<br />
<br />
SO. To start this project, I felt it would work out better if I threw together a mini version of how I would go about creating the huge structure....Ex:<br />

So after I got that going, I was very anxious to begin creating the full size version, about the size of a small room....<br />

Slowly I could begin to see the ring come together but after I assembled the basic structure, I found that it was way too flimsy. SO, this weekend I will be taking it base structure down and adding a skeleton underneath for added stability. Following the re-asmbly, ill then get into the details and engravings of the ring...Stay tuned for updates!<br />

Maybe its just because I have worked with the principles of gestalt in the past, or maybe its because the context of dots is such a basic and widely optioned genre combined with similar principles, or maybe its the fact that I only got a total of about 5 hours of sleep last week, or maybe its because I consider the fact i'm going to be in debt with financial aid for the rest of my life for repeatedly drawing dots on a sheet of meaningless paper that will certainly never be put to use again....but let me just say that I HATED THIS ASSIGNMENT.<br />
<br />
<br />
...told you I was honest.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(And now I find we have an encore assignment this time using squares. Karma's a b*tch boys and girls, it doesn't pay to diss an assignment before you know what lies ahead apparently.)<br />
<br />
Oh yea, then we drew contour map distinction lines and magnet tic marks around specific selected arrangements, which actually turned out pretty cool looking.<br />
