My Thesis
I am working on my thesis project to get my MFA from Pratt Institute. My concentration will be digital art. It’s way different than design or painting. And I love it. I look forward to being graduated and trying to do this stuff on my own. The department is very technically oriented, and I am interested in focusing on pieces that are more conceptual fine art, but I need to know the technical. It’s tough.
My thesis project is called Artist and Viewer. The committee got caught up in the name of the piece and my “90’s” aesthetic. But I am moving forward with the piece. I have been focusing on the photomontage. Here are several small tests.
This photomontage will woven into a checkerboard painting. A camera will be embedded into the painting and record the viewer. The opposite wall will be video. Working on the code. So may directions to go in. I am glad I have the year.
Where Have I Been?
I have been off the radar for several weeks. My kid is getting older and seems to need more attention. Also, he has been sick for several weeks. Add to that the desire to be the best teacher I can be, and spending every free minute adding to my lesson plans, and all of a sudden it’s been a month and a half since I did any chinese brush painting or any posting to this blog. It is unfortunate, because I had hoped to make a few dollars to cover my web hosting. I just renewed my domain, so at least I have more time to try to make this work.
I was working on the amaryllis, but without making a successful one, I started the morning glory. Boredom, maybe. Could be why I stepped away from it for so long. So I still need to scan them and post my attempts. However, not enough time at the moment. I am noticing that the book implies that each leaf should be one stroke, but if you look carefully at the paintings in the book, they are often more than one stroke. So I am trying to loosen up a little. I also want to try viewing some online videos.
Okay, crying baby awaits.
