Professor Carlisle will do the same when she has responded to your post.

Weekly BLOG PARTICIPATION

Inside Blog-
Start from the Top Down..
Always list the date underlined to start
Make your images as large as they will go.
You will create a new post for each project.

Treat it as a journal so you are blogging about aha moments, things you are thinking about and sketches to share. Add images of artist's work that you really like. Maybe you have found something not on a list given to you- share it.

# of words is not important for weekly blog posts, but the post should take time and be thoughtful.

See examples below.

Project Idea BLOG PARTICIPATION

Required :

·                     post listed with your name ex.: Ashley Carlisle_Project name
·                     In-class and homework sketches- Quality of images is important- take care in this- practice for your own blog/Instagram, etc. one day.!
·                     Attached images of artist images (artists should be from AHC list, Art 4330 should have new artists placed here)Write about who they are, where are they from, what is their work about? Why have you chosen them?
·                     Writing- At least 350 words required to describe the idea. Paint a picture in words of what your piece will strive to express. Write text in Word to count words used. *This is a practical application in that most art calls have a limited word statement that must supplement images submitted. Do not describe the process of making- focus on ideas.
·                     After a deadline to blog- if you comment you are asked to email Professor Carlisle with the subject line " tag you're it". This will alert Professor Carlisle that you have updated your blog. She will do the same after she has commented.

Go larger in your sketches. Give it a ground plane in another drawing and draw it at an angle. THis is especially where you excel. You should due exhibiting your drawings of your sculpture.

My original concept was to play on my ideas for fantasy and do this one winged miss-shaped angle form with a human face. However, after playing with my mockett I've decided to use the basic shape of my previous idea and create drawing of human emotion and how the arching form can resemble a humans character arc. The adjacent arch is show one of the commonly desired character arches while the main body will depict the start of human emotion development...peek at the climax where the arc then separates into two arcs one of a desired outcome and one that depicts the emotional struggles of staying on a linear course and ending up in an emotional depraved state.

At least 350 words..put this in Word..it is 118 words. I ask for at least 350 because we are attempting to have a conversation about your idea. This allows me to have enough to respond to. I think the form itself is lovely- why the face though? Why give it a recognizable attribute? I think this may be two different pieces? Especially as one of your peers has added a face to his piece- how do you exhibit YOUR idea but set yourself apart from the artists around you? This form is you. Go with this.

ARTIST INSPIRATION:

Odine Lang beautiful work! LOve the color and lack of color!

The piece above inspires me to use wax and yarn together. The way something as delicate as a leaf can be welded together with crochet lace emphasizes the materiality of each material, which is something I want to replicate in my work and this piece specifically. Love this work! So delicate.

These are just examples of some "styles" I've been looking at. I love the first "ragged-ish" one, but not looking to go quite that rough.

I have been extremely inspired for some time by artists that use animal imagery figuratively to express human emotion, and those that push the sculptural qualities of the animal body.
