Wow, can I just tell you how lucky I got during visual thinking?? So, the new project is to take a brand, research it, and design a collection based off of the style of the brand. The thing is, we don't get to pick our brand. So last Thursday, the professor passes around a little bowl with paper slips of all the brands and we have to pick form the bowl. Guess what I got? Anthropologie! My professor wasn't completely happy with it because we aren't supposed to be designing for our style, but I couldn't be happier! If I haven't said, Anthropologie/ Urban/ Free People is my dream company to design for. The whole class knows it too, so when I picked it out of the bowl, there were some jealous eyes staring me down. Oh well! I plan on working really really hard on this project, especially since it is for a brand that I love so much.
Well aside from that, we are starting a jacket in fashion design! I guess half way done? This is the schedule for the month of April: Class last week, no class this week, class next week, no class next week, then two more classes left for the semester! So basically, we have last week and the week after next to learn how to make a full jacket, bagged lining and all. I went in Friday night to work on it and promised myself to take my time and make sure this jacket was the best garment I have made so far. Once we are done with the jacket (and we only have one more class where we learn how to make it) we get to do our final project: designing a wearable art piece that is above the waist. Last semester was below the waist and my inspiration was a watercolor/ collage piece of a tree. I really have no idea what I am going to do yet, but I will keep you updated!
So during Spring break, my sister and I decided to start a blog that will help us stay together while I'm at school. The problem, we don't have anyone posting! The blog is called Love Art Sisters. My younger sister, who is 17, loves photography, and I obviously love art. The point of the blog is for people who share our love of art to go and post their art and to comment on other people's art. Any type of art is acceptable and can be emailed to us, and then we will post it on the blog! It is a great way to express yourself.
Here is the link:

And any art can be emailed to my sister and me at:
loveartsisters@gmail.com
I really hope you can find something to contribute!
Have a great week!
