odd
Sometimes I sit down to do some "daily art". I try to let my emotions come out onto the page in color. On 5-21-12 I drew a picture with orange circles and green lines. Later, while on break, I did a doodle. The two pictures turned out almost identical. I'm not sure what it means but whatever I was feeling lasted all day. :-)

Jesus w/ kids #2
This one is more abstract but it is how I see the basic forms and blocks of color when I paint. Notice that the kids are all looking at Jesus and Jesus is looking at you & all of them.

Jesus w/ Kids #1
This is the first one I finished.
I've got a painting in my mind. Perhaps a nice detailed drawing will grow out of these experiments.

Bob's pic
I asked a guy at Shepherd Community Center to let me know if they needed any murals done. He sent me this picture and asked me to recreate it on a canvas. Once they decide what wall they want it on I can do the mural for them.
The great thing about doing this is painting is that it challenged me to think, "What kind of picture would I make of Jesus and kids???" ...sketches have begun.

Kinetic Sculpture #1
So I had the coolest Prof ever
who lets our interests guide how we accomplish each project.
I found out that the 'tree idea' I've had for a while would be called a Kinetic Sculpture. That means is reacts to its environment- in this case the wind or air flow in the room.
Through trial and error, but mostly error, I arrived at this--->
It is made of recycled/ re purposed soda pop cans as the leaves, hangers, wire, fishing line, and obviously a big ugly frame redesigned. This art piece activates the wall and floor space but also changes as it is viewed b/c of the air flow in the room. (It would look better if the floor were white or a nice wood but the classrooms aren't that swanky.) The tree and recycle themes of the work are still pretty prevalent despite the airy, minimalist look.
The encouraging part is that I have learned about making Kinetic Sculpture, gotten some feedback about my idea, and am now one step closer to actually making the 'tree idea'.
