Thank you so much! Yeah, it was such a last minute decision, but I'm hoping my portfolio and grades will make up for my essay and three drawings. X]] Haha, I decided to draw a tree with a house on its shoulder, riding a bicycle actually (haha, with the title "moving day" because of the tree house)--kinda out there, but my teacher told me not to be afraid of that. Again, than you so much for replying!! Haha, when I get to the next two pics, I'll let you know! I still have no idea what to do for the double sided paper and the third drawing too. X]

ps. when i say "people aren't nearly as talented"--that's all relative. i know students who came here last fall with no clue how to draw, but you taught them the basics and suddenly you see they have the most incredible eye for design or pattern or 3d, and now they're going into textiles or interior architecture or something. a lot of people forget about majors other than lets say, illustration, and think the evaluation criteria is just on skills such as drawing. it's more about your eye, because risd doesn't ask you to declare a major yet, and the possibilities at this art school really are wide open. it's great and i love it here

hazardousmaterials In reply to EightWeeksYesterday [2009-09-02 13:28:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm at VCU in Richmond - I've been here for going on three weeks now (left VERY early haha). Which oddly enough, is how I found you on here - Ellie (firry on here) was telling me how she knew someone from PA gov school and she showed me your gallery and I was like "Holy Shit, that's Jess!!!"
And Christ girl, your gallery's amazing! You've gotten so good!!!
So when do you leave for RISD? I know its late...

EightWeeksYesterday In reply to hazardousmaterials [2009-09-02 13:33:36 +0000 UTC]

hahaha people in richmond are talking about me???? ^^

and thanks, that's definitely a complement i haven't really done much art at all this summer though--just two real pieces and basically no real sketching at alll... >.<

hopefully i'll jump right back in once risd starts though...I leave for providence on the 11th.

so how do you like vcu? picked your major yet?

hazardousmaterials In reply to EightWeeksYesterday [2009-09-04 03:02:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha just a little.

Oh jeez, dont feel bad at all, I did NO real pieces. A lot of sketchbook stuff, though. And I have friends who literally didn't do anything.

Wow, that's so cool - I'm excited for you! Are you ready to go?

It's alright... to be honest, I'm having a little trouble making friends - I can't seem to find a group I jive with - its a very party-school atmosphere. :/

Yeah, if I stay (transferring is being considered at the moment) I'll have to apply to the communication arts program for next year. It's basically an illustration/advertising combo, and the program here is very good.

i'm sure you'll meet people you like! i mean, it hasn't been that long, has it? join a club or something, maybe...

the communication arts program sounds perfect! if i wasn't doing architecture, that's totally what i'd major in

hazardousmaterials In reply to EightWeeksYesterday [2009-09-07 14:35:32 +0000 UTC]

Haha I'm trying, just not having very much luck. I'm considering starting a comics discussion group or something, there seems to be a lot of kids who like them but no club for it.... I feel like that might be fun.
Yeah, they take themselves really seriously haha. And architecture, huh? Very practical, you'll probs be the only one of us with a job after we get out of school haha. You excited for school?

thanks

the bike drawing i have on here was just an experiment, keeping the risd assignment in mind. I know that the risd drawing has to be graphite, so this isn't my final (it's too big, too).

I've been experimenting a lot lately with incorporating collage into portraiture. I definitely plan on doing more of it The one vertical portrait of the girl, done in the green with the sewing and the squares is mixed media oil paint, magazine and photo clippings on canvas. The whole thing is sewn together using a sewing machine, and pretty saturated in turpentine to get the sort of "murky" look on the magazine and photo parts.

The other collage piece, of the woman with the dark eyes, with the metallic wire, is done using acrylic paint on canvas. It was painting first, and then I used an awl to punch holes in the canvas, and then pulled wire through.

both pieces had to be taken off of the stretcher bars to be sewn/threaded with wire, and then they were stapled back onto their stretchers so that the digital images could be taken.

I'm happy you like them
