Yep I know.....it's Saturday, but trying to keep blog titles consistent so...........................
When I first started college I was an art major. Followed by an Accounting major because I didn't think I would be able to make good money in art. Followed by a Business major because after taking a tax accounting class I about jumped out the window.
Any-who after I moved I found my old portfolio so on this cold and cold and......uhm cold Saturday I decided to dig through it. Here are some of the things I found:
I really suck at drawing people. I tried to do a portrait of P-Nut when he was a baby, but it ended up looking creepy so I turned it into a creepy angel.
Flowers I guess with pastels.
These were self portraits. I totally suck at people. I remember being in my parents garage all hours of the night looking at a mirror and looking at myself and trying to do all these self portraits we had to do. It was misery.
I was flipping through a magazine and there was a home with a wall completely covered in pictures and art. One of the pictures on the wall was a black and white crucifix picture and I thought it was the most beautiful thing. At that time I was having a hard time and struggling with religion because of some losses I had in my life. So this was good for me.
I always loved Jackson Pollock's work. Apparently this is where this painting was heading.
I can't remember the artist name that we had to take his work and replicate it, but this was one of them.
Flowers? :)
Partly eaten apple.
All gone apple. :)
This was like backwards charcoal work. We had to cover the whole page in charcoal and then erase out the light. Fun.
Another one of those artist replica ones.
Shadows, I guess.
I forgot how much I enjoyed these art classes. I have even more photos of the work I did I may post on another flash back day.
