QUARTER 2 In the beginning of my senior year as an art student I had no idea of anything that I could do that would be able to keep my attention for more then two hours. I would constantly make the same kind of pieces, although each one had a different point to it. I still couldn't figure it out. ONce second quarter came I was completely burned out of ideas of what i could possibly do that would take me a total of 40 hours that wouldn't kill me due to extreme boredum. I shared my lack of art experience as well as my short attention spand with a close friend of mine that is also enrolled in this art class along with me. And he suggested that I do something that invovled fashion because it is something that i've recently become obsessed with. So I decided that an art piece that is fashion based is probably the only thing that I could work on without stopping in the middle of finishing. So I decided to take a lead pencil and wife beater t-shirt and figure something out. Before I knew it 4 days of working on the shirt had past and as an end result I had a shirt that plan to wear in the summer.



QUARTER 1 In the beginning of Senior Art this year for some reason I felt under-inspired so i couldn't really capture the true artist in me. But it did come in time, almost like a random ball trough a window. I would often paint my soul in my art class when i was in 9th grade, I thought I would just do that again and then that would eventually get somewhere.I began doing abstract art work, at first i thought I could get somewhere just using the regular square shaped paper. So everyday I would go into the room that held all the paper and get the same type of paper and i would attempt to let my mind roam freely. Needless to say this didn't work, I began to think I just didn't have anything to paint or I wasn't thinking anything. Then one day I just so happened to be in the right place at the right time and i found a piece of paper that was in the shape of a triangle but at the same time it wasn't. I tried to paint on it, but i figure it wasn't what i wanted ether because it was too flat. After that i figured that i would have to do something to the picture add leverage and depth to it. From there i decided i would just add paper and and go from there, and in the end i figured i would do more then one with the same concept and in time they would come together in a pair.
