Seminar

Alright, so in Seminar we didn't have time to get to everybody's proposals, myself included. After class I met with K and Angelika personally to get some feedback on my idea, and I think that they really liked it. I got really good responses from both of them and it made me really excited about my idea.

Basically over the next few weeks I will need to get started on a bunch of different works at once. I am going to get a 4' x 8' masonite panel and cut it in half to get to 4' x 4' sheets to work on as my "larger works." I have 7/20 small paintings for Matt's class, and continue to reinforce my abstraction ideas through these smaller works.

One thing they told me to do was to not get to analytical with this kind of stuff, they also don't want me to read to much on abstraction so my natural thought process isn't altered. Angelika also suggested that I record my thoughts as I'm creating work and try not to think consciously about my sub-conscious. This will be a pretty odd task..

They encouraged me to keep looking at artists that I like (for example: maria lassnig), and read their artist statements about their own work.

I'm can't wait to start working, I think this project will be really fun for me.

.....OH YEAH. And I submitted 3 works to the Student Exhibition and to Metaphor. Hope they get in! Woot Woot!
