what inspires me this week.

i've always been in love with day of the dead the 3 day holiday of mexican tradition. the masks, the colors, the idea, its all beautiful. i want to do more with it but i'm not sure how as to incorporate it into my composition. i guess i'll need to take time and figure that out. the day of the dead celebration takes place over 3 days, the first day is the celebration and welcoming of children spirits allured by candy and sweets. The second day in the day of celebration and welcoming of adult spirits, and the 3rd day is the day to celebrate life.  there masks and the skulls that they paint are full of bright colors and i love how they pair it with tiny details of black amongst a sea of flowing beautifulness.  heres some photos so that maybe i ight turn you on to a new idea.

well google it... i cant copy and paste YAY!

"when i grow up i wanna be famous!"

when i graduate nest year i would really like to attend the art instatute of shawnburg to pursue a degree in graphic design.  I want to get the highest degree that i possably can with this artistic path i have chosen, so that i would have a better chance at gettign a job and forming a career out of the graphic world and follow in my cousins footsteps.  So far he has talught me about everytihing i know, with his knowledge it made editing seinior photos and other projects of mine easy to acheive.  theres no apprentancship involved with this job that i know of if there is, i will be happy to do it and continue on learning.

In my portfolio i think that it would be easy to include figure drawings, still life's, and a self portrait or two.  i think to include these items are easy however i think making them look real and proportional will be a difficult task to achieve for myself, considering i hate doing still life's and i definitely HATE rope... (Ms. Wyse-fisher knows exactly what I'm talking about by the rope.)something that genuinely surprised me about the list was that for figure drawing it said to try doing nudes which i would not be opposed to doing. however i would like everything on that person to be somewhat covered... unless it was a girl cause I'm a girl i know what all that busies looks like. =]i have big plans for portfolio i want to defiantly put in my day of the dead zombie and my girl with her eyes stitched shut in it as well because they are two of my favorites thus far.  this year in portfolio i would really enjoy touching up my painting skills and attempting different types of painting and figuring out what really works for me so that i can become a more amazing artist and a better person who discovers more about her art and herself.  i have one college set on my heart i don't want another one, the art institute of shawnburge is where i really want to go because i will be close to Chicago and music and freedom. plus i LOVE Chicago it is truly my party town and its close to home but feels so much like new york.  well that's my plans for portfolio I'm excited to branch out this year and discover the artist i was always meant to be.
