Now onto some kind of fun stuff (even if it isn't sewing). We got into paints in my art class a while ago, but I am only just now getting around to sharing my painting with you. Keep in mind I definitely prefer dry mediums, paint always seems to misbehave and not do what I want it to.
We started with black and white gouache. First, we had to create something within a 6" x 6" frame using at least 6 different textures, and this is what I came up with.
I like this little guy. I just wish I had washed out the background some so it wasn't as prominent.
Then, still using black and white gouache, we had to create an abstract piece.
I was not a fan of this assignment. I like abstract works just fine, but I would prefer to create something definable (and I just barely conformed to the rule of no definable person, place, or thing).
And our last painting was either "My day so far..." or "My week so far..." using color acrylics (finally). I did have fun with this one.
It was supposed to be abstract, but I made the artistic decision to simply have an abstract element. I don't know if you can tell, but the green line is supposed to be thread, and has a needle hanging off the end of it.
So, yes, I have snuck in some sewing, but I am not sharing it until after Thanksgiving.
Why?
Well, because I am making three of the same item, and only two are currently completed. The third should be done by the end of the week.
And as far as the art class goes, we have only two more assignments. A free drawing/painting, that our only limitations is we can only use graphite or gouache or acrylics and it can be no smaller than 15" x 22" - otherwise we can create whatever we like. Then we are making sculptures, which will take up the remaining few classes of the semester.
