Spring Break and Art

so.... i was not productive at all. I went to Los Angeles with a couple friends so during my visit i had absolutely no time to do art, however we drove all the way there and back, that is about 32 hours of car ride to do art or at least sketchbook stuff, but no. :( i have such a difficult time doing anything but talking and sleeping in cars so i didn't get anything done. I did however see two cool art things while i was in LA. The first was an arts and crafts museum gallery that we always drove past that had some kind of instillation on the outside that looked like rugs displayed like laundry in a Tibetan flag jumble kind of way. That makes absolutely no sense. The second is just a square full of light posts , i actually saw someone taking their engagement pictures there, who knew people took engagement pictures, not me. It was Located outside LACMA LA county museum of art. It is called "urban Light" by Chris Burden.

So encaustic wise... i have

african

lyrical

waltz

tango

broadway

modern

and im almost done with salsa

i need to do 5 in april and i believe i can, im going to work really hard and try to come up with my ideas before i work with the wax so i know exactly what i want, that is always how they go the fastest. I'm excited to get back in the art room and whip these out :)

Venting about encaustics

so.... here i go

i have finished my two pieces fo

r March and am very happy with them, broadway and tango. i played with texture, contrast, and colors more to make them differen

t than what i've done previously.

Right now i am playing with my contemporary and ballet one. Contemporary is becoming more like a redone modern so i hope that works because it has potential for being nice. I decided not to do the AP test , i didn't think it would be smart to pay for something that only gives me number and i can't really afford. Last year i would have done it for sure, but im not strongly pursuing art in the future, i am more focused on creating

art and discovering myself as an artist :). i feel less stress now even though i wasn't before haha. anyway i feel good about where i'm going especially since i am really behind in my art.

where i am right now.

lyrical : done

African : done

Broadway : done

Tango : done

modern : working on it

hopefully modern will get done this week

then i will have seven to do

oh gosh

wow

the good thing with that however is that me and Sarah have sorted ou

t the used wax and are going green with recycling the old wax, it's working really well. Hopefully this can conserve wax and i can continue doing wax without over paying way too much.

i will be in a car for 18 hours on sunday so i am bringing my sketchbook and coming up with all my ideas for my next pieces :)

in other words, this is form artist Ruth Gooch

it's encaustic :) :) :) ahmazing :)

This weekend

So this weekend I didn't do too much, i had a fun pot luck with a bunch of people and them we went to see a play. Then on Sunday i had a dance competition, the last competition that i will ever do as a group with LOAD, :( which is kinda sad to think about.

I finished an art piece last week. Fastest i have ever done one. I had sort of an idea going into it like a tangoy thing, but it didn't turn out how i intended, but i still like it. I'm hoping to do my next one fast too so i can spend time reworking my last two i turned in. I'm happy how everything is going.
