Art Every Day 2.0 | A Response | Geometric Tree

In August I began a graduate program in Art Therapy at Eastern Virginia Medical School.

This is very exciting for me.

With this program I will be making a lot of art, and reading a SHIT TON of books, articles, and all that jazz.  Sooooo I thought I would re-start my Art Every Day via school stuff.  Some of it will be visual journaling, some in class exercises, and then just some miscellaneous stuff.

Sounds good right?

Right.

The image isn't that great, but the grey bogus paper makes it look even WORSE!

Art Every Day 2.0 | SLACK-AHOLIC!

Really, when it comes to updating I have been slacking, but let me assure you I HAVE NOT been slacking where it really counts---> in the studio!  In fact I am taking an installation class and making a mobile wearable, designing a studio installation, participating in building an installation on the porch of the art department and working on Green-ifying a shed on campus!

 

Here are some of the mobile wearable sketches, nothing special, but an idea for ya!

Art Every Day 2.0 | Making Art

This image is part of the process for me.  I have been working on a new painting so I attached a loose piece of canvas below the painting on the support structure of the main canvas. 

Anyway...I have been working with a spray bottle A LOT on this one.  SO FUN.  Of course while I am using the spray bottle there is water and paint dripping everywhere, now it is dripping down to this scrap piece of canvas!

It's like two pieces of art in one!  LOVE THAT!

This is after only a few drips, can't wait to make more today!

Art Every Day 2.0 | FREE Upcycled Anthropologie Inspired Art

Hey there!

I owe you an apology for my lack of...art sharing.

My name is Jennifer and many things have had to take a backseat recently, making art is NOT one of them, but...POSTING about it was.

Yes, WAS.  I'll be back in action as soon as I determine how to properly prioritize all this new stuff in 2012!!  More info soon!

For now, check out my tutorial-ish post about making something from almost nothing.  For Free!!

Art Every Day 2.0 |

It's not over folks...it's only just begining.

Art Every Day 2.0 begins...NOW.

Things will be a little different around here, but still focused on making art. 

I want to focus on making and not getting as caught up in posting, so I will definitly post once a week, I'm thinking friday.  And other posts above and beyond will be a bonus!  For you..and ME!

To start today I'm just going to show you a digital image I made for a side project.  I have TONS of stuff to share with you, but I really need to get my head around and organize it!  I'm still making art every day, and loving every minute of it.  Most of it is happening at school in the ceramic and painting studios, but I have been able to eek out a bit here, at home too.  Like this, an awareness poster.

 

p.s.  Don't forget to check out my new project make change.  and join the action!

A new direction!

After a fun, successful year of making art, I am changing my direction.  After lots and lots of thought...over the last month I made a decision.  I'm going to make a change.  I know I've left you hanging LONG ENOUGH!

Oh, I'm still making art, and will post here!  but art will also be a part of this new journey for sure.  Just a new twist.

Come on over to make change. today and see what it's all about!  I hope you will all follow along this new journey and make change. with me!

Making A Life Art Every Day 364

card #22 of my goal to leave 100 art cards that inspire, anonymously from my Stupendous Life List.

That's kinda what this project has been, a lesson in living.  Oh yeah I work, I go to school, but making things is when I am fully alive. 

It doesn't have to be something major, just the act of making, preparing, piecing, and thinking creativly is what fuels me.

Every day I am building the LIFE I want to LIVE.

What does it for you?
