The white part will be cut off. It started off with a fairytale, there were going to be elements and characters of various fairytales included throughout the piece, but it has since evolved into a landscape. Maybe.

It was so wonderful!! The chip board was cut up and made into a box and a halogen light bub was added because the way I had painted the chip board reminded him of water and just flow.<br /><br />It's funny because the way he thinks artistically is so different from the way I do.<br /><br />It's so lovely! It made me really happy, and he let me have it.<br /><br /><br />And since I had Colin;s piece.... this is what his looked like. His was a performance piece, instead of painting over the original chip oard, he bought another one and sat on top of them with a sheet over him.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTJw9iZIhmyYY6EqOxZSypQyZ0VLbcHh7BVNhwoAUbH1vdrcbDwbzLrnQtTmnABOemDIJwE5BGVmKxqSAg6K_fEhPhUBI0IzIhsciDSmjn6X6WYTsPC-qiCZhD3ist904zB9PsgA6s-U/s1600-h/DSC06858.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTJw9iZIhmyYY6EqOxZSypQyZ0VLbcHh7BVNhwoAUbH1vdrcbDwbzLrnQtTmnABOemDIJwE5BGVmKxqSAg6K_fEhPhUBI0IzIhsciDSmjn6X6WYTsPC-qiCZhD3ist904zB9PsgA6s-U/s320/DSC06858.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313250410474136370" border="0" /></a><br />and my end result with the functionality of a book.<br />So here's the cover.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w-Z1VPah2au4C3fKvMieKru5Qzc0e2tYSMYGRJ2knMeOcd1n543GEhRO7tW6H4sezhWaEJVS84kWWjjO5G4aCrM1qkDBup_Zvew8ol4ji962FQ_BlakS-K7hRPOhLuw5grD7XlMIg30/s1600-h/DSC07039.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w-Z1VPah2au4C3fKvMieKru5Qzc0e2tYSMYGRJ2knMeOcd1n543GEhRO7tW6H4sezhWaEJVS84kWWjjO5G4aCrM1qkDBup_Zvew8ol4ji962FQ_BlakS-K7hRPOhLuw5grD7XlMIg30/s320/DSC07039.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313250731322708530" border="0" /></a><br />And the outside.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASJoIoOjDb7MuvN8p6BO5mD0KKxo-Vn1Aj-MYUuzIAeGKU8TkiwuOIA3LFb5ZQZCoFrDA8vRodOHAPvgzrMFvhMr2ye8gDMGuSk2eBuKdMyvogBG_vFQSK3RBzt9Rix-TBtztZxeZXQY/s1600-h/DSC07042.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASJoIoOjDb7MuvN8p6BO5mD0KKxo-Vn1Aj-MYUuzIAeGKU8TkiwuOIA3LFb5ZQZCoFrDA8vRodOHAPvgzrMFvhMr2ye8gDMGuSk2eBuKdMyvogBG_vFQSK3RBzt9Rix-TBtztZxeZXQY/s320/DSC07042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313251305516848290" border="0" /></a><br />acrylic, watered down gesso, sheet music, and fabric were my additions.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08169975842742580245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532626582623611836.post-51440832900543620372009-03-09T23:33:00.000-07:002009-03-09T23:46:24.866-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8qArob_skgAeIm2_G6HrVl2CBGZx5SUyzl66qLXyiay6MHXtPpcBJR4awwlGlSIO-gIWZ82G9ydichU-0cZU7yDzRE-ez6IT5c9ZB0WLFzSeXypIdvhvXi34LYD0nIJMTyRq4eq1gEMY/s1600-h/DSC06871.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8qArob_skgAeIm2_G6HrVl2CBGZx5SUyzl66qLXyiay6MHXtPpcBJR4awwlGlSIO-gIWZ82G9ydichU-0cZU7yDzRE-ez6IT5c9ZB0WLFzSeXypIdvhvXi34LYD0nIJMTyRq4eq1gEMY/s320/DSC06871.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311443825703175666" border="0" /></a><br />This is a piece I did for my Elements of Visual Thinking class.<br /><br />Everyone bought a 30x40in chip board and an oil bar, we layed the boards out as a grid (17 of them) and drew whatever we want, wrote whatever we want, did whatever we wanted with these boards until our oil bar sticks ran out.<br /><br />The result wasn't how I had imagined it.<br /><br />But everyone took a board home and recreated it into their own art pieces. So this is mine. There are still hints of the oil bar peeking through all the acrylic paint.<br /><br />After we brought it to class, we took someone else's by picking a number.<br /><br />Andrew has mine, I'll take a picture and post his result.<br /><br />This project is based on a reading by Roland Barthes "Death of the Author."Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08169975842742580245noreply@blogger.com0
