The Christmas season is always a busy one! School is finished for the semester, and I'm now in possession of a GIANT WOODEN CANVAS PAINTING OF MY FACE. Thanks Painting class! I have no idea where I'm going to hang it, but I am considering leaving it in the most uncomfortable place possible. Like glaring down at passersby from our balcony or some such. I also made a collage representing a newspaper article, and a huge painting dedicated to Sarah Harmer. I love Sarah Harmer because it seems like every major life event I've experienced in the last ten years can be easily referenced in one of her songs. I can't wait to start next semester, as well as a few big photography projects I have on the go.
Below are some images from the last semester's art projects!
Elizabeth applies Emily's makeup. The resulting image was used blown up to 11x17 and featured Emily lying in the woods.
Here is my collage on canvas. It's about the newspaper article referencing my grandpa's fire in 1997.
GIANT BOX OF NEGATIVES! I went through some of my old film negs to pick out a few photos to blow up to 11x14 for my final photography portfolio.
Just taken with my cell phone, the final collage and painting self portraits. One element from the collage fell off after I displayed it, so it still waiting to be reapplied. The collage was probably my favourite part of all to do. And, alas, the painting could have used a touch more blending but ... what can I say. Semesters are crazy and I was in a rush to get everything done and handed in!
From my project with Carolyn McKenna we did a photo shoot entitled, "Let the Sunshine In". Here is one of the extra images from the shoot.
Can't wait for next semester and its sure to be awesome projects! But for now, super excited about the holidays and the impending trip for coffee Jamie and I will be making in T-minus 20 minutes. Hooray coffee!
