????


Lately since i've been finishing my young arts applications and everything i've been thinking a lot more about doing art in my future. I would like to always keep it with me and possibly minor in it. I threw yesterday for the first time and really enjoyed it. I want to keep practicing and learn to throw more and better things. My favorite project so far has been my coil vase i built last year and would also like to make more coil objects.




idk why the free shipping thing is there...

i'm so HAPPY

I have finally decided on exactly what I will be doing for my shocking art piece and I can't wait. I am really happy with this idea and feel that I will be really proud of it and it fulfills my perspective of shocking art. I want to represent  SexTrafficking. I haven't settled on if I will use a blow up doll or mannequin; hopefully I can find a mannequin and dress it in an inappropriate outfit.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!

shocking art

At first my idea was to make a shocking art piece that covered suicide. I wanted to get a head and represent a person shooting themselves and the selfishness of it. I could not find a head, so I have changed my idea to the "modern mom." I hope to find a full woman mannequin, dress her in an expensive looking cocktail dress holding a baby in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. I'm really behind on the project so I hope to get it done on time as well. I also finished my piece from the retreat and I'm liking it more and more!

Muncha art retreat

The retreat was nothing what i expected; except making some art. Sarah, the guest artist was really cool and brought some really pretty pieces. I loved the way she threw without a bottom and made the slab later; and the fact that her things were not super structural and have room for error. I was bummed I missed making the nature sculpture on the last day, but I am really glad I made it to the first day. This year seems like it will be super fun and everyone gets along. I'm nervous for my projects and how they will turn out, but I can't wait to make things that our out of my comfort zone and finding what I am good at. I plan on spending a lot of my high school life in the studio making art and testing my creativity skills. I hope by the end of the year showcase that I have made a lot of piece I am proud of and love.

P.S. Ten fingers at the retreat was the best and so funny!
