Mandala s and Collage s

In the fifth grade we did mandalas and collages. Collages were in the style of Romare Bearden. Enjoy a couple examples of each.

Guest Speaker

I was the guest speaker today for 2 sixth grade classes. The teachers brought their students together just to hear me talk! I felt honored... I talked about the process of putting together an exhbition: promoting, describing, making the work, hanging etc. I also talked about my study abroad trip to Egypt. There are so many students who raised their hand when I asked if they might want to travel and study abroad in another country. There is so much to talk about and discuss on both of these topics I was not even worried that I had only 10 minutes to prepare.

Spray Painting Fools

Great Spring afternoon spent outside spray painting our logo! Sorry ODU, we only made a small oops on the sidewalk. On a sheer curtain we repeated the stencil, I am thinking long scrims? But it will hang in the Student Center in the Griff for publicity. Date should be the most noticeable info? I think so.
Moving right along with the show... I need to finish more pieces that is for sure.

A side project complete! Finally I have collected enough of Cole's rope toy.



It actually came from 3 different rope toys, technically.
CIAO!

Salvaged!

I love it when I can fix pieces that I was unhappy with, haha. I was afraid to start it but I did it. There are only a couple more things I need to do to finish it. The very first piece I did for my wall hangings did not turn out well, it is because I had NO CLUE WHAT I WAS DOING. So, I went back and actually tried and accomplished a good thing. There was a lot of use of the seam ripper with this job but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
I need to create borders and for my smaller piece and 1 more larger piece for the central scene wall hanging.
More pictures to come!
