During the past semester of drawing three i was faced with a series of challenges. These challenges forced me to think outside of the box and look a mark making in a whole new light. Among them some of my favorite solutions were: Making a mark with gravity. I got the crazy idea to belly flop in the swimming pool creating red marks on my body using gravity. I even surprised myself with that one. Another favorite was transparency. I attended class wearing fishnets and lace (transparent clothing). Overall I had fun with the challenges. even the less extreme ones like my sculpture balls out of fabric. I found the sewing and fabric challenges though still different they were very close which made the second one assigned (fabric) a little more difficult. I had fun with the cardboard creating small playful moments. The sandpaper i kind of hit a wall on but still appreciated my solutions. I found the tape one also fun and slightly out there. I wove cassette tape into a pouch and glued vhs tape to a shower cap creating a wig. These were more on the funny side. With water i shot my customers with a water gun while filming it. these performance style pieces opened myself up to a whole new aspect of art that i have not previously explored. Overall i found this course one of my most valuable in my degree because it not only opened my mind up to a whole new way of thinking about art but also introduced myself to a whole new area of my own art to pursue that i didn't realize existed.
I was amazed with my drawing three final and what the semester had brought together for me. I am a huge fan of installations and this was a grand opportunity to experience that. I received a lot of positive feedback from this project. I put my work on plates along with cupcakes on plates. Next to this were more cupcakes for eating and i wasd touching base on the idea that art consumes an artists life. I wanted the viewer to have an opportunity to consume art while viewing art. if you look further down my blog you will see some of my inspirations for this project.
