Text reads: the life cycle of the creation is endless. We watch the seasons come and go, life into life forever. The child becomes parent who then becomes our respected elder. Life so sacred, it is good to be a part of all this.
Organic shapes attract me just now. First it was pears, now it's leaves. I need to go out and find a few more interesting leaves before they disappear into Winter.
August's color design class challenge was with analogous colors. I've been doing t-shirts and thread painting with a picture taken of a serpentinite rock slab Monte has. I print the picture from my computer, through the ink-jet printer, onto iron-on transfer paper. I decided to have it be my base "material" for the art quilt, along with a photo of a rock formation reflection Monte took in Norway. Then I printed some other photos reflecting tools and scenes from his geology world.
Serpentinite is like the origin of life substance (Monte of course would say this differently). It's related to the oil world. Origin relates to DNA. When Googling DNA, I saw lots of spiraling images, so was thinking spiral or diagonal when laying out the images. When taking geologist/scientists on a field trip through California, Monte took a picture of an oil bubble, capturing his and Stan's reflection in the bubble. I put the bubble image somewhat in the center.
So the dominant analogous color is green shades with some blue as accents. Then I printed a saying he's had in his office for years -
"Little boys who pick up rocks
either go to prison or become geologists.
"Geologists are Boy Scouts who hated to give up camping
when they went to college, so they majored in geology.
"A geologist listens to more silly questions
than any other human, and he must
weigh each answer with the greatest of skill.
"Have pity on him. He's just as lonesome as he looks,
He'd love to tell you everything he knows,
but he doesn't know how."
I was going to dye some material to add to the composition, but decided the photo image materials were enough. After stitching it all together I couched a variegated green yarn around each picture - this is the "quilting" thru the layers. There is a bamboo batting and a camo material backing. I crocheted a long "string" and attached it all around as the edging. I was going to crochet a lot of rectangles with the yarn to fill in the edges making it a total rectangle, but Monte likes it best with it's funky perimeter.
William (Bill) White III, retired BLM Physical Scientist, and a team of BLMers used a mud auger to drill salt core samples for salt thickness study. This methodology was used by Bill in 1988 and again in 2003 for salt thickness measurements that occur every 15 years. Bill chose to drill these cores next to holes previously made by the University of Utah's sonic drill with the intention of comparing his results and older methods to the University of Utah results with their new methods.
Assefaw Bariagaber, Ph.D., director of the Post-Conflict State Reconstruction and Sustainability certificate program and professor at Seton Hall's School of Diplomacy and International Relations, led a group of 15 students on an African Union study tour in Ethiopia from March 5 to March 15, during the University's spring break. The tour included both cultural highlights of Ethiopia's rich history and academic seminars on the African Union, which is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.
"The opportunity to participate in this sort of study abroad program was one of the things that drew me to Seton Hall,"says diplomacy master's student John Pollock. "As someone who studied archeology and paleoanthropology as an undergraduate, I'm particularly thrilled to visit the National Archeological Museum to see Lucy [one of the earliest human ancestors ever discovered]."

8/52 [Study Process]
This weeks theme was "Books" so before i went to sleep, i thought of this idea, and to remember it, i got up from bed and actually wrote down the detail on the PC. Today (sunday), I got around to doing this, and also doing actual studying. Yep, too much procrastinating during the weekdays. I wanted to do this orig...inally in a library setting, but figured that i might not get permission to do it there so i just made a setting in my house. I would have preferred the library though. Well tell me what you guys think.
please view as a series
No time like the present to really take a look at oneself....I spent the afternoon snapping photos of myself (I know...how vain.....) as a self-reflective study. (c:
I came out with loads of postable images. I tried different body positions and concentrated on the use of space around me. I'll post a sample of them over the next few days.
one thing I do know is that I need a haircut...luckily thats been scheduled with my favorite stylist Lauren. Whom I need to photograph again come to think of it...hmm....(c:

Painting this study really encouraged me to paint more quickly. I usually have trouble finishing paintings quick enough so the rough brushstrokes and abstract nature of the piece gave me the freedom to complete the painting sooner. While painting like this is quite freeing, it is also much harder than I expected to make it look like a recognisable face.
CGT 321: Digital Lighting and Rendering
February, 2010
Assignment: Use given still life model to create three lighting studies. Use only lighting techniques and considerations such as color temperature, gobos, shadows, motivation, angle, and intensity. Also consider camera angle and aspect ratio. Use no additional modeling or textures.

I worked on the theme of war for a competition. Difficult issue for me, I try to reconcile the ancient painting with modern painting.
I have taken inspiration from "Massacre of the Innocents" of 1600 and a little to Goya.
Taking a study break in the WPI gym. (We stayed in the WPI gym because we couldn't say with students at Holy Cross.)
