The fickle world of drawing.

Have I ever mentioned how much I detest drawing?!
Despite it being frustrating, patience taxing and down right dumb I survived my drawing 1 class. Now I have drawing 2 and life drawing to look forward to...lovely.

Anyhow, here are some of my drawings from class, I guess there alright. I did best on the ones that weren't graded...of course...But I managed to get a respectable A for my final grade.



First, Organic form was by far the
easiest for me to draw



Next is eggs and ellipses I had a sever dislike for the blasted eggs.

Paper bags

                    Drapery 

This one came out rather nicely, of course it is one that wasn't graded.

This was one of the finals for my last port folio, I didn't have time to finish the bag my I did create a rocking shoe!

This was my final still life.


Next semester I'm taking ceramics...

Is Writing A form Of Art?

Let us explore the world of writing. Now before you think I'm crazy, calligraphy is obviously a huge form of art! I mean just look at some of these beautiful pieces of art!

And thats only the beginning! I think calligraphy is deffinetly a lost art in America. In others cultures (such as Asia) calligraphy is an incredible art form where special materials that are used and everything!

But enough about Calligraphy! I want to talk about the written word, stories and fiction.

There is much beauty in the written word. Let us consider the letter A (my personal favorite). The letter A is only the first in 26 letter that can be arranged and rearranged to make billions of words in thousands of languages that have meanings from rock to diamond, from good to evil, from long to short etc. etc. not only do the individual words have meaning but when to put them together they mean so much more!

*phew* this could go on a while, lets move on to stories and fiction.

Have you ever read a book where the author was so good that it painted a picture in your mind? I'm talking about the kind of books that make you forget that you are even reading?
What about a story teller? My Grandpa Al is an incredible story teller, with his stories I have been transported to Africa and back, Ran from mountain lions, and laughed as My great great grandfather escaped from Indians by using an ever obedient donkey named Bess.

Stories and books are incredible things and in my opinion some of the greatest pieces of art. There is nothing more that I love (besides impatient art) then sitting down with a book from one of my favorite authors (you know who you are) and getting lost for a few hours.

so for today GO READ A BOOK!

(Or if you cant bare to leave your computer, check out a fun story blog here.)

A good use for my baby.

I found a really good use for my baby shopping cart. First I though of using it as a laundry hamper but it was inconvenient to roll it in and out of my room every time I did laundry, and it was such a lowly use for such an amazing object. So as i was pondering its use i came to the conclusion that i could fuse two of my favorite things into a practical solution. I give you....THE SHOPPING CART OF SHOES!!!

Sorry its crooked, I took the picture with my phone.

A dream fulfilled!

Count em! Not one but TWO shopping carts!
my life is AWESOME!

Stay tunned to see what I do with them.
