Day 11: 55 hours

 Blog 11: 8:00- 11:00

May 21

Today I didn't work as long as I have been. Since I have completed the 55 hours now I have decided that I want to also enjoy my last few days at Proctor. So rather than spending an entire day in the studio, I want to enjoy being outside on the beautiful campus. Today I worked on turning the finished and dry small orbs into orbs. Corby taught us this technique that would help make the pictures look three-dimensional and like water. So I use this technique to make them look three-dimensional and reflective. I thought that it was working very well on the few that I was able to do. I still have many more of the bubbles to do this on but I needed to wait for them to dry.

End of the week

May 16 This week has been wonderful. So far this year I have taken no art classes so my art outlet has been limited to a lined notebook in the middle of class. Spending this much time in the studio around other people doing similar projects has really helped my creativity flow. I have enjoyed being able to work on my project whenever I want. The freedom that we have been given with senior project has really shown me that I will make time to do things even if sometimes I don't want to. I have still gotten up every morning and gone to breakfast with my friends like usual to get an early start of my day. I start early in the mornings so that I can have time in the afternoon. I really enjoy painting more than I thought I did. Originally I was not very excited about this project as much as I wish I had been because painting is not my strongest talent. I think that I'm making a lot of progress on it and the day I started painting I did so much, I wondered if I would even need 55 hour...

End of week 2

This week has been so long. I have enjoyed painting a lot, but it has become quite frustrating at times. This week I have reached 55 hours! After counting up all of my hours and realizing I had made it to 55 I was so happy. I have been working so so hard on this painting and I can really start to see it paying off and having worked for 55 hours seems crazy. I have really started to add detail to each of the bubbles and can really start to see it coming together. I have finished a lot of the bubbles and finally being done with parts of his painting feels like a weight being lifted off my chest. I have finished the mountain orb, the ocean or the dorm life orb, the Costa Rica orb, the Slocomb Windows orb, the orientation orb, the Mike orb, and the library orb. I am having trouble with the ski hill and holding this weekend orbs. The ski hill is very hard because I need it to look like it is coming at you, and I struggle with that. There is so much white because of the trees and the snow on...

blog 13: The end

  Blog 13: May 25 Today I basically spent the day writing and finishing the last part of my painting. I was writing the final response essay and it was a lot easier than I thought. I basically have been voice typing the whole thing and it has made the process so much easier. All I had to do to finish my painting is paint the edges orang and finish the ski hill bubble. The last bubble has been by far my least favorite because it has been the most rushed. When I got here this morning the paint was still wet. That made turning it into a bubble really hard.
