Fall Break

It's fall break at MICA!

I have no class for five days...so, I finally started working on my Halloween costume.

I've decided to be the children's storybook "Goodnight Moon."

Here is the cow jumping over the moon. Everything is hand sewn.

This is the plan for the front of the dress. The picture, window, and mittens are sewn; everything else will be screen printed in black ink.

This is the front of the dress.

This is what I have done on the back so far.

I have one more thing to sew and then let the screen printing frenzy begin!

Make Art and Repeat

Last week three of my studio classes assigned a project that was a continuation of the project from the previous week.

This pretty much sums up how I felt about that.

Drawing Class-Assignment was to make a charcoal drawing about the 'space between objects'. This drawing is about the spaces between me and my family and old friends.

Week Two-Assignment was to make a drawing of my drawing from the week before. The new drawing is made with micron pen and has real stamps on it. :)

Elements of Visual Thinking- This is a giant poster. The assignment was to fill every part of it with pictures of an object that we got to choose. My object was a Madeline doll.

For week two we had to continue to layer images of our object. I found this quite frustrating...which resulted in me smearing red paint all over it. Hehe.

Spatial Design-The is a cardboard model that depicts the lines and planes of my desk lamp.

This week we had to reconfigure our model so that it would support a brick. This is a view from the top of my new model.

This is a view from the side.

I'm glad this week is over and I have some new assignments to work on. Also, I decided to be the book 'Goodnight Moon' for Halloween and am getting pretty excited about making my costume. :)
