My final project for Intro to Film, on the theme "Aging/Obsolescence/Death".
Kind of a work in process?

It's hard to explain....

This is a "book" made for Media 2 class
There are the photos up top

I hope you can understand it

This Weekend in its Various Forms

First off, here's a couple images of two things I made on Friday.
The second image is a collage/multimedia painting.
Image one is an interesting thing to me that I decided to post even though I normally wouldn't. The thing about this drawing is that I was just practicing drawing and painting in the pop surrealist style for several hours on Friday night, but this particular doodle/sketch somehow ended up getting a lot of attention, and I think for something that started out as a practice doodle, it actually turned out pretty good. So... here it is. Drawn using oil pastels.

Also, this weekend was/is ultimate arts weekend in Minneapolis, with festivals including Fringe, Loring, Uptown, Powderhorn, et cetera. So yeah. There was a lot of stuff to do this past weekend. OH and new exhibitions at various museums, interactive galleries, et cetera.

Too many words.

Hang Him Head Downward

Meh.

High School Painting Class. Woowoo!

• Image 1: Still life of pliers. Acrylic on paper.
• Image 2: Self-portrait. Acrylic on paper. I was making a silly face; I'm not just terrible bad at making my eyes even xD
• Image 3: Acrylic and copper wire on paper and vellum. Two layers of paintings.
• Image 4: Final. Inspired by Chris Natrop. Acrylic, paper, wax paper, bamboo skewers, clay, fishing line. It got bent up and broken because a certain someone (whose name I shall keep confidential, haha) leaned his car seat back on top of it and squished it and broke it. And I was sad. And now I hate this piece ]=

Also, I won three awards from the high school in this past week:

First, the "Super Senior" award for "Most Artistic".

Also, an honor for being one-act director with Ms. Jenna Geris. (We have our own plaque at the high school now!! Go see!!! Hahaha)

Finally, the Outstanding Contribution to Theatre award for the past four years.

Yay!

My last day of high school ever was today! =D

Comoedia, Tragoedia

Oh. Wow. These did not translate well photographically at all. The detail shot is actually better than the overall shot!

Well it's about time I got something new posted!! Check 'em out, leave comments, whatever! And I promise it looks a million times better in real life xD

On a more personal note, I still have a lot of cool things going on as of late. I got my acceptance letter from CVA and they're offering me a $2,000 annual academic scholarship, which is neat. But I'm more excited to see what happens once I'm done with the merit scholarships =]

Haven't gotten my other acceptance letters yet.....

And there's other stuff that I don't wish to talk about via blog. If you wanna know... Let's have a conversation so I can brag about myself! =D YIPPEE HOORAY!

Thanks for reading!

New Years Day

Details:

I haven't posted anything in over a week. That's because I've been working my ass off on this multimedia piece and haven't been able to accomplish anything else because of it xD Ahahahaha.

This piece is very interpretive; it's sort of my own abstraction of something realistic. In case you can't see it in these images, each shape is a cutout from the U.S. Army and Interrogation Handbook, which is used by the army in detainment and interrogation situations, as the title would suggest. I don't really want to talk about it too much, since I'd rather have the meaning thought over on its own (as a matter of fact, I'd ALWAYS rather have it thought over on it's own!)

So that's it. Thanks for reading! Leave me a comment, if you're feeling kind/critical enough to do so!

Multimedia/Collage

Detail:

Here's a piece I just finished using paint, paper, texturizer, string, and canvas. Therefore making it a collage.

And... I really don't have anything more to say about it. I don't like talking about things like this because I don't want to spoil the viewing experience =]

Since I don't know what to say, it's your turn to say something. Tell me what you think!

Thanks!

I don't really like it........

.....but I might as well post it anyway. Just to keep those who may be interested in the loop of what's going down.

So this is a multimedia piece I just did....I don't think it turned out very well. I finished it earlier this week but have been relectant to post it. Feel free to tell me if you absolutely hate it; I wont' be offended :)

Although telling me that you like it might make me feel better about it, haha!

So just give me an opinion and I'll be happy either way! =D

I can't remember the exact size of it... I think it's about 16x20".

Tell me whatcha think!
