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

Work- Lindsay W.
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.
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.
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!

I was so swamped last week that I didn’t have time to work on my personal work, just the work with the cyanotype. I added more to this drawing and plan on finishing it this week and added color in a circular boarder around and over the bee. 
Current Work- Lindsay W.
This past week I was in a car accident that put me out of work for two days. As a result, I wasn’t able to spend as much time as I had wanted on my artwork. I’m planning this week on catching up with some more collages (in particular going back to physical collaging). I also thing it may be interesting to to do of the same collage, with one as a digital and one as a physical, and compare them to see how the process can work out for each.
Memo 4-The most hectic week of my life is over
So we finally exposed the cyanotype that my students have been getting ready and working on for months. We put in so much work, and everything ran so well. Some of my students were able to make the event, and for those who couldn’t, they were eager to see it today. We all had spent so much time on getting the entire thing together that I stayed at work for hours after I had to. So did some of my students. I’m getting ready to ask my students their reflective and post assessment questions tomorrow or the next day. I’m ready to start reviewing my data in the next week, and to gear up for the summer. 
Wip 4/24
This past week has been insane, probably the most busy I’ve been at school all year. I am working with my students on the large cyanotype for the unity day this Saturday 4/29. However, I finished (are we ever really finished) with the pine cone drawing and started a bumble bee ball point drawing.
Work in Progress- Lindsay W
This week was a really tough week for me, both personally and at work. I’ve been feeling especially depressed recently and overwhelmed and I feel like it really affected me in my art-making as well. I ended up also re-visiting one of the collages I did last week, putting in the cutout from it on the top of it and I’m not really sure how I feel about it. This time next week I will be in Japan, and that thought really has been what is getting me through the week (as such it really controlled the imagery I used this week). If I can before I leave, I want to try revisiting the third picture- the concept of the torii gate in the hall I like, but the execution of it was poorly done.
I also found some cutouts from a picture and some paper that has drips of paint and ink on it and just thought the visuals on it were pretty interesting to look at.
WIP 3/27
Although I’ve been really overwhelmed with HREB stuff and getting all of my paper work done for my field trip I still really enjoyed doing this first layer. It was really time consuming, but totally worth it. I was checking out all of the different pine cones on our property and thought that making a large cropped version of one would be a little different than the landscapes that I had been doing. This is done entirely with ball point pens. One and a half of them to be exact.
