Art is over, but it's never over...

So the class is coming to an end, it seems surreal that we will not be entering almost all of the classes that we have grown up in the last 4 years; we also will not be coming back to Lakeridge (except for juniors) next year, it is no longer the home that we will come back to next year. However just because art class is over does not mean that we will not be doing art. Whether you are going off to art college next year and will be creating art nonstop or continuing to doodle on the side of your pages. Or maybe your attempting do a get rich quick scheme like me. Anyways I have been thinking about different ways of continuing art and have ran across many different ways to keep involved. First off every tuesday in "old town" West Linn there is a wine tasting, farmers and artists market, which I will be going to tomorrow. Also it's easy to keep involved with art because it is hard to avoid. It's always on someone's wall or grafitied under a bridge. Currently I'm working on some abstract pieces that I was going to attempt to sell but, I like them so much and same with my parents that I might just keep them. Anyways just because art is over doesn't mean that it will ever be over.

Concentration Epiphany (sort of)

I realized for my concentration I do not need to use specific people for models of what I am creating. Mr. Campbell looks like a turtle, but the people at A.P. don't know who he is... it could be anyone or someone I made up in my head. So if I wanted to I could do whatever I wanted and just give the thing human features. I think that this will add more pleasure to my concentration and also open it up to greater possibilities and more creativity. We'll see how it goes!

Mr. Moneybanks

I decided to exercise the sketchbook/blog deal, and only update my blog and not do a sketchbook. I like that it consumes less time, but the sketchbooks are more creative. Anyways here is my latest sketchbook, I am going to explore the whole graffiti thing in the future, but the stencils are fun to make. This is one of my mustache a while ago, and I drew the monopoly man around it.

This is the final plant picture that was inspired by the artist during the Art Retreat.

Constipated Turtle

This is my piece on Mr. Campbell, he looks exactly like a turtle when he pokes his neck out, and he talks extremely slow at times with big pauses. Anywho the whole walking up a hill and pooping on accident, and then sweating; that does not reflect campbell. But none the less he is a turtle, and let me know what ya'll think!
