The end of the semster is cominggg


So I painted a little bit on tuesday but wednesday, ugh i painted from 1 till 11 at night. I got a lot of stuff done though. Hopefully I will be done with my junior comp stuff, majority of it this weekend. Well, it's a nice goal to shoot for. I'm in the process of finishing my self portrait, I really want this one done by tuesday, no exceptions. Mary and I have a fake competition, to see who can finish their paintings first. Just to motivate us to paint because in total, we have 6 paintings to work on by the end of this semster. Eks!

Artist's that I really like.



So I have been taking a modern art course this past semester and I thought I was going to hate it. But!!! It turns out I really like it, and I have rediscovered some artists and descovered new ones as well. I still like Whistler and Sargent of course, but there was so much Modern art I was missing out on. I like Gustav Klimt but he is more of a decorative artists so when I saw Egon Schiele I was so impressed. Schiele is like Klimt but loser and has more of a raw feeling to it. I really really really like him.
I also like Alphonse Mucha, who was a print maker. I like him a lot because my Dad likes him and he has a very sensual feel to his work. I feel like it is hard to do that through print making, but he does is successfully and I really like his stuff.
Also in other news, I repainted my head so I'll be putting pictures of that soon, as well as my other paintings I have been working on. One more thing, I have decided that I want to be a B.F.A. instead of a B.A. so I'm staying at school for an extra year. I have been thinking about this for a while and I think I'm pretty set on doing it.
