I take my practice where I can get it. I take advantage of my father-daughter time to practice and experiment with whatever art supplies are at hand. This is crayola washable paint, and colored sharpies on watercolor paper. Lessons learned: 1) washable paint is not that good for layering because it "washes" off :) 2) watercolor paper must usually be prepped by wetting, and stretching (it warped and buckled) 3) I need to use grown-up art supplies some time soon!
The subject was picked from one of my toon jellyfish sketches. Hope you like!

GCSE – Surfaces (set topic). My initial experiments focused on looking at patterns that are produced from rubbings of textured surfaces. I researched the artist Max Ernst who developed the technique of frottage. I took charcoal rubbings from objects such as tyres, gratings and man-hole covers. Later, I decided to explore how surfaces change with burning having been inspired by the ‘messy’ artwork of Anselm Kieffer. In particular, I liked how plastic shrank and twisted into fascinating shapes. This effect is used by artist Alberto Burri, however in my opinion his pieces seem rather boring in terms of colour and composition. I continued my own experimental work by incorporating acrylic and wire mesh into melted plastic. Although both gave interesting results, I especially liked the way wire allowed the plastic to cling to it and therefore chose to develop this idea. I created a collage on canvas by melting different coloured plastics onto chicken wire. I painted the canvas in Kiefer’s style and experimented with the composition by burning holes into it as well as incorporating a variety of plastic objects in the mesh structure. The overall effect was a little too ‘busy’ so I opted to use an open wooden frame for my larger final piece.

My classroom this morning is used for an elementary education class at some point during the week and they are doing some sort of experiment. They had 2 boxes that were covered in tinfoil and had a tinfoil sheet hanging on the front. There was a light in each box, and plants growing in little water bottles. I liked the little bit of growth and green since it has finally decided to feel like winter here in lexington.
Happy Weekend everyone!

Just trying out different woods to see what I like! Thats a big fluter sitting in the hole.
Thats my 2 1/2 yo. He throws temper tantrums when I give him dummy tools that dont work! So I made him some carving tools by flattening the ends square on the grinder and rounding off the corners - they work like scrapers with no danger of getting a cut!
Experimenting with photoshop:) The top left is the original, if you couldn't already tell. I got a bit lazy...
