Provisional Painting

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:27:04 -0400

I wanted to post this article, that has been influential on my work throughout my undergraduate career. The link to it is here.

Revamping the Studio

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:39:00 -0400

This week I worked a lot on consolidating my studio. This is primarily because over the next few months I will be moving where I work on art at least 3 times, possibly 6 so I want to have a studio that I can set up quickly and start working, and then…

As a follow up to yesterday’s post I have been thinking of how I can use the velcro to make the sides even more flat and I thought of the positioning of the velcro on the flap itself. I have been putting the velcro towards the center/end of the flap to…

The past few days I have been working on the construction of my individual canvases. There are three points I have been trying to improve with the canvases: efficiency, craft and storage.

Color Studies

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:32:00 -0400

Working through Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color, the first project was to study his paintings. I thought his paintings on paper would be useful to see how Albers’ used color, and to know the artist that wrote the book.

After devoting myself to making as many ideas as possible, it is time to focus. I need to physically work on a singular project that can take me from now until the end of the semester. In short, I need to make art.
