Critique & Kinvara!





Good evening! (Well...to me) This morning, I had my sculpture critique...it wasn't an amaaazing critique, but it wasn't horrible either, I got a lot of interesting and helpful feedback from the professor and other students. It reminded me of how I almost always get the same type of response with my sculptures: Very arranged/prop or stage craft/set-like...soooo it kind of made me think that I have been avoiding or trying to get away from doing those things, when maybe I should be embracing that artistic impulse and trying to do decorative or stage craft-like work...is interior design/decorating for me? or maybe stage set design or prop making? I don't know, but I have always loves decorating rooms and I love creating an aesthetic environment, even if it doesn't count as "high art," as many say. It just got me thinking about new ideas for my future career, so even though i wasn't highly praised for my sculpture this morning, I really learned a lot in a way, my eyes were opened and I think I may have needed that to take place :) Our next project will involve an installation piece, which is what I've been wanting to try out! So, I think I can really try the whole decorating thing more seriously, and I might use my whole studio for the project :) So, that is my art update :)

After lunch, dad came and met me at the school, and we went to Kinvara for the afternoon! Check out the pictures! There are so fun, we had a wonderful time walkin around and taking pictures doing silly and fun things-Neil Young even came on in the cafe! :)
