tuesday

Good afternoon!
So today has been a long day!  I have to make a stop-motion animation for my time arts class and it is taking forever!  It has to be at least 100 seconds.  Which means every second is 10 clips.  So ten seconds is 100 clips.  And every clip is a new adjustment.  I'm almost at 40 seconds though, so not too far off?

Well anyways, the one really good thing about being in art or design history is that you get to go to NYC for a field trip!  This Friday is the trip!  I can't wait to go!  We leave at 7 am, which gives us 5 hours on the bus to talk, watch movies, sleep, or write my 10 page research paper.  Once we get there we all get tickets to the MET and we have a sheet to fill out.  This doesn't take very long (well hopefully) so that gives us time to explore the city.  The bus goes back to Syracuse at around 5 p.m..  The nice thing is that you are allowed to stay in the city the weekend if you turn in a note.  I am going to stay in Jersey with my friend!  It's always nice to get a weekend away.

Sooo how about some art?  Here is what I just finished for foundation drawing, keep in mind that it is around 21.5" x 32", so it's pretty big!

 

sorry about it being sideways!  oops!  Well the assignment was to pick from a list of painters, choose an image, and redo it ourselves.  My artist is John Frederick Peto.  I also can't figure out how to make the type come out from the left!  Ha!

Fashion related classes:  In fashion design we are working on the jacket.   It's pretty much done except for button holes and closing up the lining.  No class this week though!  And in visual thinking we started a new project.  We are doing a line influenced by a couture designer.  I am doing Elie Saab.  I really don't know a lot about big designers, I have always been interested in smaller lines, but after looking at his clothes... wow... just wow.  They are incredible.  He was the first designer I researched and I am sticking with him.  I love his clothes.  Here is his link: ELIE SAAB  If you like beautiful dresses with a new modern twist, check out his designs.  It's always great finding inspiration from places you didn't even know about before.

Well have an amazing week!  I will fill you in about my weekend in the city next Tuesday!
