Posts about how I create the art(specifically my reflections on the process and maybe an actual guide to how I made the art)
This assignment was drastically different from the previous. Whole page type assignment has many more moving parts than the last. We were to choose a design word and definition word. My Definition word was thunderstruck and my design word ended up being shook. I say ended up because it was really …
SO! This is the big leagues now. Computers are a-buzzin’, as well as brains. This assignment is about letterforms, so we have to think about letters as art. That means we have to think about shape, line, font, contrast, size, perspective, etc. The words to try an emulate: Royal/Pauper, Egotistical/Humble, Erudite/Ignorant. …
Bethany Collins is an artist I have great respect for. I heard her speak at the Dalton Gallery not too long ago and she was my first networking opportunity I’ve ever had. Her work is an huge identifier in me and I find myself connected with it. So imagine my …

Hope Hilton came to our class on Wednesday and took us on a silent walk. I wasn’t really sure of the reasoning behind painting plants until we actually went to do it. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Hope Hilton, a fantastic artist, came and talked to us and led …
This week Thursday we went to the Atlanta Contemporary Art Museum. This has probably been the most beneficial visit to my project that we have done. We went on a tour of the current Biannual exhibition and even found out about an internship opportunity with ACAM. But the best part …
