I saw on the rubric that I had points deducted in the amount of pictures that I posted for the Spring Portfolio. To get full points I needed to submit a minimum of 5 pictures, which I did. I am not sure why I was given a grade that reflects that I submitted two. If I was required to submit more than 5, I certainly would’ve done so, but I chose my 5 favorites. Originally I wasn’t concerned about the .75 of a point but once I looked at the rubric I was a bit confused.

Brette- Wendy McWilliams
This artist uses paper and create these cool abstractions. These colors remind me of you, and your work!
For Lindsay B- Jenna Decker
Although you sort of moved away from the embroidery, I thought this artist was pretty cool!
Last work 5/16
I finished this work…for now. I really enjoyed the last two drawings that I did and I am looking forward to move on with everything over the summer session

I wanted to try directly re-creating past collages I did by hand via Photoshop. It gave me a chance to directly compare the process of manual vs digital collaging and was really interesting to compare the two experiences (as well as the final results in both cases). A pro for the digital collage is color clarity is certainly better in looking at the piece, though there still remains the question of the quality of the image when printing it out. Also, I don’t have to worry too much about the technical issues of cutting things out to have it no fit and then having to reprint the same image multiple times to make it fit. But I also find that that struggle in collage-making allows for further problem solving that does not come up the same way using digital means.

I also ended up creating this other piece digitally, inspired by the work above. I had wanted to try this before, but physically cutting the leaves to create dimension between the nature and walls had proved to difficult.

Finally completed this piece after a lot of hiccups. If you look at the left top and bottom you can see some more smearing of the Pan Pastels. I also apologize for the yellow tint of the image. It really messes with the color of this piece. The incisions on here are neon yellow. That is hard to see because of the lighting.
Current Work- Lindsay W.
The first one is by far my favorite and based off of a previous (failed) attempt at inserting the pagoda into the Co-Op building setting
Here is my previous attempt at the pagoda/Co-op combination. I didn’t like the positioning of the pagoda or the coloring/lighting of the picture.
In progress work May 15- TC
My last digital drawing is of my boyfriend and I with our baby squirrel, Squints.You can’t really see him, he kind of looks like a turd 🙁 I didn’t want to make him any bigger because he was so small! Maybe I should crop this in more
WIP 5/7
I’m a little bummed out about this paper, bought it from acmoore, and it sucks. Literally, sucking the ink into it and causing large bubbles. However, I tried something different for the composition. Still would love to draw the comb Brette! If not in this one, than the next!
Works In Progress Melissa 5/8/17
Work continues…here is take two of this piece. I ruined the first attempt. I had to completely restart after I smeared the entire first layer of Pan Pastels. I had actually started this before the previous work I posted with the piece I did in monochromatic blue. I had to walk away and try it after I completed something else because I was pissed. I couldn’t continue this one again, but here is round two…so far. I also included the Pan Pastels in the image so Taylor could see what the material looks like.
