Art Every Day 2.0 | A Response | Altered Magazine Page

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.

New Painting

Okay, so this painting isn't brand new.  I did it mostly last semester, but this summer I did a bit more,  So...I guess it is new, cause it is finaly finished.

It is acrylic, pieces of window screen, and graphite.

Rough Peacock Sketch Art Every Day 325

I have been trying to figure out how I am going to make/finish the body of my peacock sculpture...open to suggestions!

Flight Art Every Day 242

Okay so do you remember this painting?  I didn't really either.  It was going nowhere, had no life, and I put it aside for almost 7 months. 

Today I picked it up.

It is no way shape or form finished, but I feel like it might actually become something one day.

You saw the first layer...here is the second...

 
and the third...or its current state...

 

Birdcage WIP Art Every Day 175

Todays adventure includes this piece.  Although it is not done yet, I am liking the direction so far.

Mixed media: paint, recycled scraps, pencil, stamped images and more.  "the truth will set you free"

I was going for a kind of limited color scheme, and NOT allowing myself to use any white.(not the greatest picture) We will see how that goes tomorrow too.  Tonight my head is just too darn full to think about this piece any more.

Portrait of a Friend From the Past Art Every Day 162

Soooooo, today I sketched from a picture on my friend's site Smunch.  You might remember her, she did the pictures of Harper and Xav.  Lauren is adorable, and I tried to catch her spirit in my drawing, in my own way.

Creepy Peeker Art Every Day 153

Okay, wrinkly paper combined with a creepy look make up this 'peeking in on you' self-portrait.

Looking Up Figure Art Every Day 151

Yes, another simple figure attempt.  I might be done with these for a while.  It's good for me to practice, but I don't love it; but, it is a challenge, and I like that part.
Oh, and sorry about the grainy, dark nature of this, and a couple from earlier in the week.  I should probably take them outside to fix the shadow business, or scan them in, but my scanner bed is normal size, so that probably wouldn't work.
