◇ 3/4 first art select

Encompasses one point perspective in a blank, greyish space. The darker shapes enable a bright fading-to-black transparency included in this artwork. The artwork itself already has a strong diagonal handle, which is stronger the more an eye is directed towards it’s brightest spot, which constitutes as a focal point. Figure and Ground applies with aContinue reading “◇ 3/4 first art select”

◇ 3/2 < 02 recap

Project 2 was undeniably a more enjoyable project- our graphic designs enabled me to make stepping stones of the massive scale of ideas I want to visualise and make! I had a lot of fun using graphic ! Unity and variety can make or break a successful design or composition. It’s harder when exploring nittyContinue reading “◇ 3/2 < 02 recap”

◇ 3/1 < gestalt

My favorite artist passed away this February, and the rain on my boots feel a little lighter each morning. Regularly waking at 8 am is a bit of a startling process, but I’m learning to adjust (and hopefully my body does the same). Walking in this month’s Gestalt walk feels moist and foggy. I don’tContinue reading “◇ 3/1 < gestalt”

◇ 2/18 < radiolab

A prism muddy-ing my colors is a fun thing I’d like to sleep and dream about. In RadioLab — Colors under WNYCStudios, 1665 Issac Newton sits in a lone, shaded room with only a hole poked in its wall. The light spreading into the deepest parts of the dark room is interesting and fun toContinue reading “◇ 2/18 < radiolab”

◇ 2/17 < weintraub

Artists visualize our steps that are impossible to take without an image. Without a visual directory, people cannot measure. Can’t dictate, can’t list, direct, or clarify a meaning in every sense of the word. Strip art from the equation and its impossible for any two people to see the same thing. It’d be equivalent toContinue reading “◇ 2/17 < weintraub”

◇ 2/10 < 01 recap

Sometimes I wonder why my roommate is hardly inside our dorm on weekends. Outside for things much farther than class or required work. Into the corners of our town, outside of campus, in bars, meetup events, eateries? Splashes of color saturate my eyes in our first gestalt principle critique. I wallow in the simplicity ofContinue reading “◇ 2/10 < 01 recap”

◇ 2/3 < balyes

Balyes’ blatantly simple “book about making art” propels me to normalize myself as an artist, but more importantly as a human. As an artist, I do not climb into bed at 2 AM and unlearn the harmful habits instilled into my creative procedure. The impulse to work until I’m satisfied with my working canvas isContinue reading “◇ 2/3 < balyes”

◇ 1/19

Why does art suddenly grow intimidating when marked as an assignment? Can’t I chain it down and make it be mine? My last two hours were frustratingly scattered in finding a nice glitchy overlay for my website, only to realize WordPress does not offer the feature for free. A loud click on WordPress’ HTML featureContinue reading “◇ 1/19”
