this is Susan
you can really see all the layers that she has on this one.
i love the feeling of this one. I feel like the woman is really trapped in the sky.
this one just really pops and it is amazing!!!! one of my new favorites.

i am now in love with Susan Seddon Boulet!! i spent a very long time looking at her book in the art room and read about her. all of her things are about moon Gods and she paints them the way that she seas them. They are very well done i love the way she makes them pop out of the work and how detailed it is. She is alot like Jesse because when i was reading about her she said that when she does not like something she covers it up and leaves the parts that are working. So she has many things going on all at once and so it really makes you want to look at her stuff more. I could look at it for much longer than i did. But i had to get lunch so i stopped. You should look more into her. She does some really sick stuff.

A long tie ago people did not have to do a blog to get a good grades they just had to make art. i want to go to an art collage ut wont be able to becasue i cant stand blogging. and i will not get a good grade because i cant do it. i just want to make art and do it because i have a voice through my art and want to show it and make people want to see my stuf. i cant stand using the computer!!!! so why should i have to use it so much to get through my like.

Concentration pieces 2 and 3

The main theme of my concentration is death. I have come up with twelve different ways to die. I will portray these types of death in my work. I have ideas in my head that I want others to see through my work. I do not like death, but don't want people to be scared of it. If I paint things that people made be scared of at first glance, later on they may not be as scared because they have become use to seeing them. I also find it interesting to see different peoples reactions to scarey images made by a teenage girl.

For example the two works here focus on death in the following ways: Temptation and starvation.

Using strong line and value I drew skulls. Instead of using just one skull I chose to use several to focus on how death effects us all. Starvation is one way to die. Animals frequently die of starvation with their bodies left to rot and give back to the earth. I drew these skulls in the art room from observation. The lights created shadows that further exploited the concept of death.

Temptation, the image to the left is an example of another way to die. Falling into temptation, any kind of temptation, can lead to many negative effects. These pieces is drawn with colored pencil. I enhanced the lights and dark's which made it look more stylized so that the viewer could focus on the important aspects of the piece. I found this image in a magazine but it was very different. She was breastfeeding a child, while measuring gold. I was able to take her facial expressions and make it a completely different story. Shape played an important role in creating this composition.

ok so last class i had alot of extra time so i made a doll thing. i think i want to make more of them and create like a tribe. they look alot like indians and they do not have arms or legs but i could give them some and mix it up. If andy one has anything that they dont want laying around that is kinda indian that could fit on a doll bring it and i would love to use it. i really like him and would have a picture of him but no one in my family has a working camera and the cord to one of them does not work so i cant. I wrap then with string and then add colored string to add to it and i found broken bracelets and stuff like that. He also has feathers which are fun and beads. I had alot of fun making them and so when i need that break from an overload of painting work then i think that is what im going to do.
