As we grow older, we all change and evolve, and I love the idea of encapsulating the person you were earlier in life.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
In my personal time capsule I have placed many items I feel are representative of my life and I. As I move on to my future life in a few weeks, I feel I will be appreciative when I find this capsule in a couple of decades.<br>
<br>
Within the capsule I have placed pictures of myself and my friends, my horse, some pictures of fun high school memories, a few pages from some of my classes, a list of my favorite bands/ songs, a few of my doodles, the list goes on. The picture of my horse is of the day I received him as a birthday present, or one of the happiest days of my life. The pages of my history notebook are so I can remember all the great history teachers i've had (my favorite subject next to art), and so I can see what my handwriting was like. Everything I placed within the capsule has a certain meaning to me, and I am hoping it will make my future self smile as well.<br>
<br>
Now onto the outside of the box. I decided to paint the box rather than collage it, as I am not the best collagist. On top I painted the scene I feel best represents me, my typical mountain sunset paintings. I just love the beauty of both sunsets and the mountains, so why not combine them? On the sides i painted a number of different designs, each representing one of my years of high school, starting with freshman year and ending with senior year. Im leaving it up to onlookers to think of which side is which year.<br>
<br>
I am sincerely hoping that this time capsule survives a few decades. Maybe it will, and if it does, I hope it makes me smile to reminisce all the memories i've had in my four years at HTHS.</div>

Within those four years, I spent two years in Mrs. Kiick's art class, which were probably two of my favorite classes of the entire high school experience.<br>
<br>
These classes have provided me with a way to learn and grow in art, an opportunity to access my usually hidden creativity. In these two years I truly believe I have grown as an artist. When I came as a sophomore, I only knew how to shade with a pencil. I knew nothing of depth, or shading with light. Through these two years I have learned how to use acrylics, watercolor, transferring images, and colored pencils. I have also learned that I can draw more than just horses, and mountains, although they remain my favorite things to draw. I have truly benefited by coming to art classes these two years, and I wish I had taken them all four years.<br>
<br>
Both years we did different projects, but I do wish we had had the opportunity to work with metals this year. To this day my metal piece from sophomore year remains one of my favorite works. However, the bike drawing we did earlier in the year has taken its place among my favorite works of art. Yet, next year the art program is once again expanding into several different classes (I'm jealous!) so people will have several chances to work with what they want to do in the art world.<br>
<br>
As I step into the world and head off to college, I will always remember my creative arts classes with Mrs. Kiick. She pushed me passed my perfectionisms and made me see that going with the flow is sometimes the better way.<br>
<br>
Thank you for being a great teacher Mrs. Kiick, and goodbye HTHS - I hope the future is great.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkuym9VHve2zQI1SJ4YVkYAX6B_eWzZPYloZZjya4paqMjWJLCidZtmChs1NRPFOORhYzW_Gwg1LKlP_IzQqy_VjyJ8-vuTpJ7QQwZNv6O13nLwzJ-_R3SV_aAAGR-WOx6L7Tc6CaXPBU/s640/blogger-image--1534023495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkuym9VHve2zQI1SJ4YVkYAX6B_eWzZPYloZZjya4paqMjWJLCidZtmChs1NRPFOORhYzW_Gwg1LKlP_IzQqy_VjyJ8-vuTpJ7QQwZNv6O13nLwzJ-_R3SV_aAAGR-WOx6L7Tc6CaXPBU/s640/blogger-image--1534023495.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9x6W4hxDclyKVLdyKA0oZxQMgYFu2uBJoe-fkiqMIdj8-s0bLj89jAeYFu-wQwYeJjpl6RM4Zvz659NuqG8nYZX2Uq8Wp8H9Gy4q8zGQBc2t2Lsv_kFQzPbcTqHD1F6rnMoafzvThOM/s640/blogger-image--490181184.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9x6W4hxDclyKVLdyKA0oZxQMgYFu2uBJoe-fkiqMIdj8-s0bLj89jAeYFu-wQwYeJjpl6RM4Zvz659NuqG8nYZX2Uq8Wp8H9Gy4q8zGQBc2t2Lsv_kFQzPbcTqHD1F6rnMoafzvThOM/s640/blogger-image--490181184.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_koRPdaCLZpqG0ov3qmmKk8C9ngZjtDUxsOf7tsg1-MbIEn4sqWfgRL3l6mIWH74A2An2E6H7SS9hvxWeMFNOSf_-bjakqTbyI72ImuxLdjyZujP7i6unLZ24FB2XwB5k4UUb2OV5YA/s640/blogger-image-2022152217.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_koRPdaCLZpqG0ov3qmmKk8C9ngZjtDUxsOf7tsg1-MbIEn4sqWfgRL3l6mIWH74A2An2E6H7SS9hvxWeMFNOSf_-bjakqTbyI72ImuxLdjyZujP7i6unLZ24FB2XwB5k4UUb2OV5YA/s640/blogger-image-2022152217.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ6ApRSefTagxJsGsQRikFgY-Z03hFGzIZBBMOgQ8JHxzeIRmOYt1Z0jMr3TmMq9omPVmgpINsYdQfvQvXxsd5lENE2CJiMjt0LFcAXLo4S6DZnIpJvizCp6Sf-y1X4x1wS8K_whrlFQM/s640/blogger-image--1559061180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ6ApRSefTagxJsGsQRikFgY-Z03hFGzIZBBMOgQ8JHxzeIRmOYt1Z0jMr3TmMq9omPVmgpINsYdQfvQvXxsd5lENE2CJiMjt0LFcAXLo4S6DZnIpJvizCp6Sf-y1X4x1wS8K_whrlFQM/s640/blogger-image--1559061180.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwju7r183SZMkwkrM5yPA9GNTGx1cYRdpFKwsjBYL5toTlgdwX7xxf5nqGqDFocduWHYEbHNh34yZmQNsK3xBdzX_wzSeF4kbzKtz6zn14xvIkrwQfB0Ev7MymTj_u83aRIudH7i2nJsA/s640/blogger-image--900893298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwju7r183SZMkwkrM5yPA9GNTGx1cYRdpFKwsjBYL5toTlgdwX7xxf5nqGqDFocduWHYEbHNh34yZmQNsK3xBdzX_wzSeF4kbzKtz6zn14xvIkrwQfB0Ev7MymTj_u83aRIudH7i2nJsA/s640/blogger-image--900893298.jpg"></a></div>Kirstyn N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13132401131723890233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623969679300866134.post-3222710968247206792014-04-07T10:09:00.002-07:002014-04-07T10:09:13.518-07:00Story Sculpture After a cold harsh winter if fighting the elements, one last snow storm threatens to berate the land once again. This winter has been one of the worst in a decade, with over 13 snow days and multiple snow storms.<br />
<br />
Bundled up, I walk into the barn in the early hours as the morning. a safe haven for the soul, this place is quiet, the only noise is the sound of horses waking up, the only sight is the riding sun radiating light off of the windows, and the breaths of the animals.<br />
<br />
As I punch in the code for the alarm, I remember all the pain, sweat, and hard work it has taken me to get to this place.<br />
<br />
My horse, Shotzee, is a rescue, with a complicated past of his own. When I first saw him, I fell in love. Even though he was dirty, untrained, starved, and somewhat psychotic, I decided to take him on, mainly because no one else wanted to.<br />
<br />
Through the 4 years I've had him, we've gone through everything. I've helped him realize he will no longer be abandoned and left to starve, and he has been my faithful companion through friends, relationships, and just the journey of high school.<br />
<br />
But that's not where the story ends. We used to be horrible at our sport. We would go to shows and get laughed at by judges, or kicked out. My horse developed a behavioral problem no one could figure out, leading me into a back brace for a few months. When it got bad, we decided to leave the barn we had been at forever, leaving behind a painful past in order to move forward.<br />
<br />
Today, as we come out of winter, we are training to show all over the east coast, under my professional trainer. We are more keenly trained, more fit, and my horse has the most weight and muscle mass he has ever had in his life. We are on top of our game, and ready for a summer of intense competition, hopefully beating those who always doubted us.Kirstyn N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13132401131723890233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623969679300866134.post-17196455870233290802014-01-22T18:57:00.004-08:002014-01-22T18:57:40.676-08:00Art x3 <div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

What is this dark image you ask? This is the result of my tumultuous Art x3 project. We received this project in the middle of the marking period, and I was happy when we were told we would be making a collage based on the Theme of Celebrities and what it means to be in the spotlight. However, I was not so thrilled when we were told we were going to have to share our works of art with 3 other people, working on the first two projects for only 2 days each. Honestly, I was confused by this concept, but decided to go with it and try it out.<br />
<br />
For my beginning collage, I simply made a few transfers onto a white piece of paper, and stained it with some light watercoloring on the outsides. This can be seen below:<br />

For my second, I received and amazing well started collage that looked complete, and I barley wanted to add anything to it. But, Alas, I had to, so I added some blue coloring, a cadillac, and a few other images to the top. This was by far my favorite image I worked on:</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my third and final project, I received a paper with several hard images glued onto a paper with sparkles. However, they were well placed and easy to work with: </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I began working. We worked on these papers for about a week, and to be honest, I do like what I came up with, however, I must have been in a dire mood one of those workdays, As it turned out much more black and dark then I had intended. Yet, I lighted it with good old watercolors, and was happy with the result. My favorite part of the final piece is the bottom left corner, where the shadowed girl is whispering 'gossip' out of her lips, with 'Star' above her. (Hard to see in the picture at the top)</div>

Alas, Art x3 was a success, even though I was not too keen on sharing in the beginning.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When Mrs. Kiick came in with a box of fortune cookies, we all were excited. A project based on cookies? Count me in! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After eating several fortune cookies we saved our fortunes and were told to create a book page based on the fortunes we had received. My personal fortunes all involved Love, working hard, and working towards new things. So I set out to create a book page that interprets all of my personal fortunes, and added some personal flare as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I decided not to use magazine images for my book page, as I wanted something soft looking, and sometimes the harsh edges of magazine images can take away from a paint. Instead, I decided to just doodle what I felt would represent myself. First, I divided the page with a tree, which is textured with modeling paste. This represents growth towards the future, so on and so forth. The two halves are representative of work, love, and the stairs of success working together to build towards the future self. Corny, maybe, but I like how the image turned out. It also helps that all the colors in the image are my favorite colors blended together. On a side note, The bird is made out of the numbers from the fortunes. It represents freedom and moving on.</div>

2nd Marking period has held several fun projects, the first being pop prints, produced ourselves by carving out of a 'Stamp'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This project was inspired by famous Pop artist Andy Warhol, whose famous reproducible prints flourished in the 1960s. His colorful prints of everyday items, such as the campbell's soup can (shown below), Were seen everywhere in the 1960s, as well as being household staples today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mimicking Mr. Warhol, our class chose one item from our 'Blue' collage to sketch and reproduce ourselves. I chose to reproduce a small, blue, squeaky tennis ball dog toy. I chose this individual item because I obviously love animals, and have had several of these same toys around my house for all the years I've been alive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After carefully carving out our sketched images, we inked them and printed them, often with several different colors of paint. Shown in the lower image is my print alone, printed in black ink. The above image is the image I ended with, a colorful piling of tennis balls, which looks very much like the pop art we were trying to achieve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I personally enjoyed this project quite a bit, mainly because the exact image I had carved out could be reproduced again and again, in different colors, and would never lose it intensity. Yay for Pop art :)</div>

However, most people can be split in the category of how their homes are kept, as well has how they manage their surroundings. There are those who are super organized, yet keep possessions, those who do not like possessions and throw lots of things away, those who are not as organized, yet keep a few things, and those who are not organized at all, and live in complete chaos.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When it comes to collecting, people generally have seperate opinions. I personally believe that having a collection and being a hoarder are completely different. The technical definition of collecting is " To accumulate as a hobby or for study", and this is what I believe it entails. When someone is a collector, they collect one or two certain things that are meaningful to them, such as a rock collection or a model collection. When someone collects, the items have meaning, and are clean and organized in specific way, usually being displayed by the owner on a shelf or piece of furniture. Collectors homes are usually clean and organized, and they do not 'collect' clutter. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A hoarder, in may ways, could start out as a collector, but let things get out of hand. Usually, a hoarder will begin collecting things after a traumatic life event, gettting emotionally attched to the things they collect. However, these things will get shoved away into corners, with the individuals usually forgetting they own them. In a hoarding situation, the owner cannot let go of anything, and their homes become a mess, with the individual usually living in filth.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the difference between a hoarder and a collector is simply that a collector takes care of and organizes their collections, displaying them or storing them properly. A hoarder is someone who collects a multitude of things, lives in squaler, and cannot get rid of anything.<br />

To referance a collector, lets talk about Portia Munson. She is an artist from New York who makes collections of things of a certain color. She is a collector, because even if some of her collections look like a hoard, she has them organized and on display. All her collections are considered art, not hoarding. Here is an example;<br />
<br />
As you can see, the collection is organized into a work of art.</div>

There are prominent colors all around us everyday, but people, including myself, don't take the time to notice. In art class right now, we are modeling artist Portia Munson, building a class collection of blue items, as seen here:<br />

Our class collection says quite a bit of who we are, collectively, as people in this world. We, as teenagers, are a mixture of personalities, with the collection modeling this. It has multiple random items, perfume, gum boxes, nail polish, paint, a football, even a globe. It shows how many of us grabbed the first blue things in sight (such as myself), but it also shows how many seemingly very different things can be arranged in a way that looks beautiful. This collection also shows the times we live in. The very random things are all relics from our homes, from cartoon characters to hats, to pillows and some beads. We are a generation that likes to collect random things such as these.<br />
<br />
Here is some of Portia Munson's work, Looking much like ours :D<br />

Currently we are all in the Halloween spirit, and what better of a thing to draw during the Halloween season than candy! For our current project, we must draw the candy jar that has been placed on our tables - without pictures!<br />
<br />
This has turned out to be quite difficult. To introduce us to colored pencils, Mrs. Kick gave us worksheets and showed us how to make certain colors lighter or darker- by using different colors! I am very new to working with colored pencils, and the medium confuses me a great deal, but it’s always good to learn something new. After finishing the color scale worksheet, I was reluctant to simply 'jump in' and start shading right on my sketch after only practicing on a worksheet, so I started experimenting on a piece of tracing paper.<br />
<br />
This is the tracing paper:<br />
<br />
Yesterday, after a week of pure anguish, I decided to finally 'jump in' and start on my real drawing. After being terrified, this is how far I've gotten:<br />

Over the past few months our art class has undertaken one project and began another. Our first project, drawing a bike (as seen below), went relatively well, with little personal agony on my side of things (ha-ha). This is due to the fact I have been drawing with graphite my entire life, and it is one of my favorite mediums. I personally like the way graphite handles, and how the finished products look as well. I find it amazing how, by using just one color, one can make a simple sketch come to life. With my drawing, I feel I could have made the highlights a little better, however I love how the final piece turned out. My drawing has many different tones and shades created by using several different graphite pencils, my favorite part being the middle of the wheel.<br />
<br />
The second project, drawing a still life of a candy jar, has had a much different effect on me. Being that the only other time I've ever used colored pencils to do a detailed drawing was two years ago (In this same class), The medium took me a little by surprise. It is very different from graphite in the fact that it has one dark color, and you must blend other colors to achieve highlights and lowlights. This whole concept has boggled my mind and somewhat stressed me out - but I keep plugging along. To add to the confusion of drawing with colored pencils, Mrs. Kiick threw in having to draw a JAR of candy, which is a challenge in itself! However, I’m glad she gave us this challenge, as obviously, if I ever decided to go into the art field, I’m going to have to know how to use several different mediums, including colored pencils. (Sigh) On a different note, even though I keep pestering poor Mrs. Kiick with questions, I actually like my drawing a little bit. Its amazing the affects two different colors can have when blended.<br />
<br />
Here are my two works. One is finished; the other is a work in project.<br />

For years I have seen peoples illustrations of bikes everywhere; paintings in coffee shops, restaurants, in museums, etc. However, I never realized how incredibly hard and complex a bike is to draw! For our first project of the year, Mrs. Kick surprised us with a bike in the middle of the room set up on a table. As surprised as we were, she through us a curve ball as well, and told us to draw the bike while using composition. My first drawings looked like this:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Thankfully, we were able to redeem ourselves when she told us we would picking an angle of the bike we would like to draw, and I chose this one:<br />

And then, the venture of shading began to take place. As graphite is my favorite and most practiced medium, I jumped right in. I love working with the different variations of pencils, especially when you have to apply different amounts of pressure to gain the desired effect. Here is a short journey of the bike drawings progress;<br />

Honestly, as challenging and irritating the bike was at first, I actually ended up enjoying drawing it in the end. I absolutely love the way it turned out, and I’m glad I took on the challenge of including lots of spokes and a not-so-easy angle, it turned out pretty cool!<br />
<br />
Here is the finished product;<br />

<br />
After taking a year off, I have decided to return to Art again in my senior year. I have changed a lot since sophomore year, and sadly did not concentrate on art, but rather my studies, taking hard classes last year. This year, however, junior year is over, and I can now focus on art again :)!<br />
<br />
This year I hope to build and extend my portfolio as I prepare for life outside of high school. Although I have no idea what ill be doing for my career, having a portfolio is needed if I decide to pursue art.<br />
<br />
Follow me through my journey during my second, and last, year in Mrs. Kiick's class!<br />
<br />

I cannot believe a year has come and gone already - time really flies doesn't it? I have to say My art class with Mrs. Kiick this year was a blast. I actually put fourth the time and effort to create art, and great things came of it. I worked with metal for the first time (actually really cool), worked with pottery( long and drawn out but I loved the results), and created a book of all my sketches from this year - which I will probably be doing again.<br />
<br />
I have to say I have never really experienced a class quite like Mrs. Kiick's. I always took the generic art classes in elementary school and middle school; but this class I actually wanted to be in. I am happy I took this art class - for I have improved an incredible amount over the period of just a year.<br />
<br />
This year I learned how to actually color things in instead of just making outline sketches. Personally I absolutely love transferring. I found i am actually good at it - and the effect it gives to a paper is amazing. Most of my projects have some kind of transfer in them from this year. The other thing I found amazing to work with is watercolor. I love the faded/ pastel look the water color goes to things, as well as the blurry edge. I definitely will be using it over the summer on personal projects.<br />
<br />
The end of this year is kind of bittersweet, as i will most likely not be returning to HTHS in the fall. I am transferring to a private school up more in Central Jersey. I will honestly miss Mrs. Kiick's class the most out of all my classes - mostly because I had so much fun in that class. Everything I learned I will take with me though - I am so glad i had the opportunity to take this class.<br />

It includes a plate, bowl, and cup that we will eat out of when the project is completed.<br />
<br />
The idea came from Judy Chicago's <i>The Dinner Party</i>, which is a giant triangle table holding a place for each of the monumental women; that made a difference in women's suffrage.<br />
<br />
For this project I chose to honor my great - grandmother; a fashionista of the 1930's that meant a lot to me before her passing 9 years ago. Here is what I have so far:<br />

<br />
After a couple weeks of endless sawing and sore arms, we finally finished our metal pieces in class. No one has any idea of the tremendous about of work it takes to even create a small metal piece until you do it, and I greatly respect those who do it for a living. My arms were constantly sore from attaching the small saws at the right tension and sawing away at the tiny pieces of metal.<br />
<br />
After we finished sawing, sanding the edges and polishing the pieces with sandpaper, we were ready to sodder. When you sodder you add white paint like stuff to the metal to keep it from tarnishing under the torch. After, you add tiny pieces of metal that are able to melt under the blow torch's heat to the major areas of the piece.<br />
<br />
When you are ready, you fire up the piece and melt the sodder pieces. When you are done, you dunk it and water and you are finished!<br />
<br />
<br />

This week we starting a fun new project - Metals!<br />
<br />
Even though i just started with them today because I was absent, I really like them.<br />
<br />
We have to saw through the metal to create the designs, and it is really tiring, but worth it. That stupid hand saw is a pain to get the blade on!<br />
<br />
Here is what i have so far;<br />
<br />

After the hard time at portraits, we moved onto a fun and free type of project - a collage that in our opinions shaped our identity. After a long few weeks, I am pleased with what turned out as mine. Although I buried a lot of meaning, It still looks good on the surface!<br />
<br />
Here is mine:<br />
<br />

Now, i usually draw nature type things, preferring to stay away from humans in general. When Mrs. Kiick first announced we were doing self portraits, my heart dropped. I had little to no experience with humans, let alone myself!<br />
<br />
During the sketching phases I took forever erasing and drawing, erasing and drawing to get lines, and probably would have kept going on like that forever if i was not forced to sharpie the lines and make it final. This was least favorite part, because i fear things that are permanent and cannot be fixed in the art world, which is way i often prefer photoshop.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Here is how it progressed;<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3iozR75dl9JTphUxjYGgfdUaTaOTEh9F2P1aeFZG5sEAqT6bjPY4_Bpkh2V1jnvWxUl6ORiWpEeDLpihPlKQ9qHJ7heso4wAajyjnU78Te-a0TRIpse6mHDYrl_DmCBhrNTEzRAJKpqY/s1600/photo+copy+6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3iozR75dl9JTphUxjYGgfdUaTaOTEh9F2P1aeFZG5sEAqT6bjPY4_Bpkh2V1jnvWxUl6ORiWpEeDLpihPlKQ9qHJ7heso4wAajyjnU78Te-a0TRIpse6mHDYrl_DmCBhrNTEzRAJKpqY/s320/photo+copy+6.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the beginning stages. This was after i used sharpie around the outside to get ready for paint. In this stage it looks like me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my practice painting. I only got to do one because I take forever to do anything and by the time i was done it was time to begin painting the big portrait (scary). I guess I like how this turned out. I feel like it looks nothing like me and has many obvious errors; but oh well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was beginning to paint! I don't think it looks like me, but oh well! I think the nose is way off and thats what bothers me. :/</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The end! Im actually pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I took off like a TON of paint, I decided not to add too much colored pencil. The nose is still very off, but other than that I nailed the eyes, which are my favorite.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When I look into one of Claud Monet's paintings, It seems as though I am taken to the smudged atmosphere depicted in his painting. In his painting <i>Impression Sunrise -</i> I can almost hear the boats in the harbor and feel the light wind on my face.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Born on November 14th, 1840 in Paris, France; it was almost a given he was going to be an artist from the time he was born. Although his family had wanted him to enter the family grocery business, he entered the Le Havre secondary school of the arts on April 1st, 1851. He became well known with the locals for his car coal pieces, often selling them for 10 to 20 francs per work. While on the beaches of Normandy in 1856/1857, he met Eugene Boudin, who became his mentor and taught him how to do his most famous skill - oil painting, as well as how to paint the outdoors. His painting, <i>The women in the Green dress, </i>Depicts his wife - Camille Monet. He had two children - Jean Monet and Michel Monet. Camille died at age 32 of tuberculosis. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Already?I cannot believe the marking period is over already! it seems like just yesterday was summer. Now we are headed into winter, having already had a snow, and I lost at how time flew by so fast!<br />
<br />
This marking period has been a huge learning experience for me. Being a first year art class person, it has really helped me improve dramatically in a short amount of time. I used colored pencil for the first time, which taught me how to blend colored on top of each other, not just clump them all together and hope it works. I also learned to gradient scale better then I had already known, which has helped me a lot while we are creating our self portraits.<br />
<br />
All and All i cannot believe the first fourth of the year is already done and gone. I am looking forward to the other 3/4 of the year!Kirstyn N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13132401131723890233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623969679300866134.post-84676710813275180272011-11-03T19:26:00.000-07:002011-11-03T19:26:17.762-07:00Self Portraits... Kind of?In class right now we are working on a temper - paint self portrait, where we draw ourselves from a picture, paint it, then ink over the entire drawing and rinse it off. After this happens, we simply rework everything that was lost.<br />
<br />
I find this project extremely difficult because I am a detail type art person. I love to add the fine, small details in order to create a realistic image. Problem is, in this project detail doesnt really play a role, because it will all be lost anyway when you rinse it. I have problems with this, because it has taken me four days to finish one practice paper, and even that was forced!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow i will begin the ink process on my practice. hopefully it goes well, or else my entire paper will be covered in color pencil.<br />

First, we attempted to take pictures of a cool thing called a viewfinder, which I find to be a really good tool in drawing still lives. a viewfinder is a piece of paper ( folded ) with a small part cut out of the center that is proportioned to the size of the paper. It helped me so much! <div><br />
</div><div>First, we worked with pencil ;</div><div><br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>This being the first time I had worked with pencil in awhile, It took a little getting used to again, but pencil is my favorite thing to draw in, so it came back fast :)</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>After Finishing, we moved onto Colored pencil, which I found a great amount more difficult. I had never worked with colored pencils before, so there was a great deal of figuring out I had to do. But it turned out good in the end.</div><div><br />

It does NOT work. originally i was trying to post this from my phone but it didn't work, so now i have no grade for this... but i decided to post anyway since its the week of respect and that's important.<br />
<br />
I personally believe respect is shown not only through superficial words, but actions as well. Even though a person may say they respect you, it seems empty when people just say it. Superficial and fake, actually. When a person truly respects someone, they will show it through actions. Saying hello and goodbye, asking for advise, showing kindness in any way; that is respect.<br />
<br />
Now, respect is beneficial in any way given, for it often gives the receiver a boost of self esteem. In this world, people are put down so often they don't even believe in themselves anymore. I mean, look at this world. Teenagers everywhere commit suicide because they feel unwanted, unloved and unRESPECTED. They feel worthless, as if no ones cares. Many talents are wasted just because no one took the time to respect these individuals like they should have been.<br />
<br />
When you show respect to everyone around you, others will take notice and start respecting others as well. Even if they do not show respect to you, show respect to them. Be the better person.<br />
<br />
Show Respect!<br />
