Last night was the opening reception for the BFA Senior Thesis show...and it was amazing! There was so much good work there. It was fun to see all the people that I had seminar/thesis with all semester long and to see how the final product turned out.
Nicole and I also received our scholarships last night. I was awarded with the Visual Arts Department Scholarship for $1000 and the B.Y. Andelin Scholarship for $481. I was so thrilled. The daughter of the B.Y. Andelin scholarship donor came up to me after the ceremony and I gave her the biggest hug in the world. She probably thought I was a weirdo, but it was nice to put a face with a name. I am so appreciative and so lucky that I received both awards. It gave me a boost that I needed to keep working strong.
Today, Nicole and I were working up at the school. I started siding my little paintings and they look really good. Before, they were just pushed out from the wall and it was hard for me to transform the masonite to not look like masonite. But now, even though they aren't sanded/painted yet, they look like little canvases. I am excited to put everything together.
I have to install my work on Wednesday night for the seminar crit on Thursday morning. I am thinking about drawing onto the walls from some of the works but haven't decided yet. I also need to work a little more on my artist statement. I will post pictures and my statement soon!
OH and Brock brought me home flowers today because he was so proud of my scholarship award :) It was so cute. And his mama gave me a little present last night...I feel so loved!

Your blog looks awesome, good idea to put your CV and statement on there. I should do that but nobody sees it so who cares lol! I think your littles looks really nice with the boards on the sides, they feel more solid. Good luck Thurs! Wish me luck too :)
