Painting is Finished

It is finally finished......to recap.....I had to take 3 historical works of art and combine an element from each of them together. (Renior - the Umberellas, Jack Vettriano - woman with the sunglasses, and another female artist, but can't remember her name, but her piece is called "The Burial" - the crouching man).  I also had to take modern images (like the pig, fish, girl holding the rod, and the tree) into the picture somehow.....this is what I came up with and I LOVE it. 

I used bubble rap, collaged assorted paper (background), white paper roses, stamps, wax crayon (umbrellas and melting colors), and scrapbooking paper...oh, yes and my imagination!  Tell me what you think!!

FINAL Painting....In Progress!!!

My FINAL painting project.... it is suppose to be different figures from different historical paintings put together with other modern images in a collage kind of composition.  Painted with acrylic on panel board (4' x 3') so it is quite large...for me anyway.  This is in progress...stay tuned, more to come!

Spoke 2 Soon!!!

Just found out yesterday that I need to take another Art course to finish my requirements for my BA, soooooo that means I'll have to do a bit of rearranging for my semesters.

I have to registar, this fall, other courses that I need to take.  IF I'm not accepted into the Faculty of Ed to do my practicums then I'll have to take the required courses that I registard for.  If I am accepted into the F of E, then I can take these courses at a later date. 

I was not happy, as this may add another year to my "Educational Journey".....so everyone...pray, pray that I get into the Faculty of Ed this fall....I need all the help I can get!

Almost Done!!!

Almost the end of the semester....it has been awhile, but busy, busy, busy little student I have been!  Here are a few pics from my Painting I sketchbook.

I signed up for my Summer semester....Archeology 1000, Music:History of Rock & Roll from 1968 to 1990, and an online course - Children's Literature.

After this summer I will be DONE my B.A.....YAAAAHHHHH!!!!  I have applied to the Faculty of Education, and hopefully....fingers crossed.....I will start my practicums this Fall.
Right now I have 2 BIG final projects on the go.  One big painting (4' x 3') and a 3 to 6 minute video for my Video Sketchbook class.  So once I have everything done....I will post.

Take a look......

This is a painting I did on wood panel.

New Semester - Painting I

I am now into my 2nd semester of my 2nd year at University.  For this semester I have the following classes.

Neuroscience: Brain & Behaviour
Media Arts II - Video Sketchbook
Painting I
Art History - Western Prehistory through to the French Revolution

They seem really interesting, and the 2 art classes are my very last that is required for my B.A.  For my Painting class we need to create an art journal/sketchbook...oh, darn...I hate those things....he he he he!!!

Here is the inside cover and introductory pages.  I promise I'll have more to come, and I won't wait until the end of the semester to do it.

Photo Arts I - SCRAPBOOK

Photo Arts Scrapbook ~ Enjoy!!

My scapbook was entirely made by me.  I bought large watercolor paper, then cut and folded them into mini books.  I then put all of the books together into a larger book.  The cover is made of scrap upholstery, embelishments, and printed images from the internet.

I entitled my scrapbook - "Overlooked in the Pit of my Pocket"

The introductory page....

Some of my favorite pages.......

These photos below were a series.  I used my daughter's stuffed duck as a real person, set in "human" situations.  I thought they were really cute....my classmates thought they were hilarious!!

All Black & White are mine...I think they turned out really good!

My nephew!

Yes....that is actually my own sock!

The old store is actually in Fort Macleod.  It only opens during the summer season.
