My HEART answer was structure. That was my answer since reading the project because all of my play pages were experiments. It only made since to experiment futher with this project but using less matrials. I had forgot to post these photos so here they are. I focused more on systems and styles by avoiding paint brushes and using thing like a spatula and my hands. I created a new lamp shade with cutting and watercolor, then a spatula form on acrylic.

#1 These photos are form the pass three weeks. The first two (reference photo and first attempt at Brunei) are from week one. Learning to apply Brunei and comprehending the changes in values are crucial. I learned that if you want a successful oil painting then your under painting should be as accurate as possible. In the last photo, I grasped the concept of reflective surfaces and how they basically disappear into white backgrounds. Also, with grisaille
Takashi Murakami is a contemperary artist who draws his inspiration from traditional Japanese painting, sci-fi anime and the global market. He has been in the light since the early 90s, as he creates characters with mixed influence from Europe, Japan and America. Later he became a curator, film maker and leader of a group known as the Edo eccentrics. His work ranges using fantasy, science, and history, and he believe they should never be used apart.
History of Faberge: This lecture was a good one! It began with the VMFA employee (I forgot her name and position) explaining the origin. The Faberge movement began with annual Easter gifts to Empress Feodorvna. Their were almost 50 of them created up until 1916. These eggs typically would hold a piece of decorative art with cultural references. Today 43 of the 50 eggs can be found in museums. Each egg was unique in its own way, no two eggs were ever the same. Not only were eggs created, but everyday household items and dinning items were made. The entire movement should be renamed the fancy era.
Reynolds Gallery was founded by Beverly Reynolds in Richmond, Va. The Gallery represent regional artist and VCU students and professors. The Exhibitions to view were by Claes Oldenburg, David Freed [Some Portraits], and Katie Barrie [On Vacation]. Out of the three I was the most interested in Freed's exhibition. His use of paper and skill. A lot of his works were narrow and/or wide which I found captivating. Another thing I found interesting was the cost of these simple pieces. It b=gives insight on how success corresponds to wealth. Like Oldenburg's series of everyday objects seem so simple in skill, but one piece is at least $1,000 dollars. Back to Oldenburg, his pieces of everyday objects are appealing in a scene of element, but how meaningful they are is hard to find. Overall this was a good walking field trip and I would like to go back to visit any future exhibitions.
College Art Symposium I enjoyed listening to these past MLWGS survivors talk about their area of study at their art schools. I do not see myself going to college to pursue art so I did not feel I could relate with their thoughts much, but still, it was a good experience. Some questions I would have loved to ask them all is why art? did they feel as though they would be successful? what kind of hard patches have they had? was going to school to pursue art really ideal for you at the time? was it worth it? Honestly, I don't find it practical because there is no real guarantee that it would pay off. They did bring up some good points to how this journey was fit for them, but the scale of the risk left a bad impression on me.
