artist statement
My artwork is a representation of the surroundings my generation lives in. The paintings i make are spur of the moment and the photos i take are the same. Even at a young age, color was really important to me. Rothko, Basquiet, and Mattise, were some famous artists i was obsessed with as a kid. I wanted my colors to be as bold and beautiful. My paintings and my sculptures deal with material objects that our generation produces in a time period where trash is found everywhere. Familiar trash like bottle caps, candy wrappers, and plastic bags, can be found and appreciated in my work.

artist statement response
renee phillips 26 quick tips
Phillips says that an artists statement can serve many purposes. She says that its a great tool to avoid misinterpretations of your work, and a great tool to fully describe your body of work and its meaning. An artist statement is a useful written tool and important for approaching dealers, collectors, and press. On top of the importance of the written statement, she says it also serves as a tool to develop a verbal response. Thats really important because although it may be a struggle to get the statement down on paper, sometimes its harder to talk out loud about your work in a way that makes sense to the viewers.

Wotherspoon makes a great point in explaining what isn't an artist statement. Its important to remember that this statement should not sound like a resume or biography. She stresses that it shouldn't be to long or hastily written. When artists statements are too long, they drag on and sometimes are a distraction from the actual artwork itself. She has a long list of information that should be included like how much time you have spent on your piece, what artists have influenced you and how your work is a reflection of yourself.

Why i do this
I do "this" because i do what i want to do. Anything i am currently "doing" or working on, is something i chose to be a part of and art is one of those things. I started taking art classes before high school then was enrolled at the art students league in new york city. I always enjoyed making art and i alway liked the way my art looked whether i was painting, drawing, building, ext. At a young age i realized i wanted to continue making art for the re of my life. My fututure plan is to teach underprivildeged, and emotionally diturbed children full time at a school. I have already got my foot in the door in that relm through my work two summers ago as an assistant teacher and one to one aid at Hawthrone Cedar Knowls school in NYC.
While i feel really determined and focussed on using what i learned at Ringling to build my art up and to teach on the side, i also want to work imediatly after Ringling in a busy city (nyc) as an intern around fashion and design. More specificially, before my mother completed art school, she began working and eventually landed as an artistic director of high fahion photo shoots working with high profile people and was able to really use her artist talent and design eye in a field she loved. I feel really connected to her career path after art school.
I do "this" because i want to, becuase i know where im heading in the future, and becuause i see Ringling as the start of something very big for me within the art world.

challenging the literal
Challenging the Literal
Georgie Landy
Dave hickey begins the chapter explaining the variations of semiotics. He says there are three kinds of metaphors, Orientational, Ontological, and structural. metaphors "disregards literal." I agree with him that we see metaphors a symbol because i believe they are. In terms of my art, i cant pin point a specific example, but i know i use symbols so i feel like one could argue i use metaphors as well. I also likes the ironic, literal and lie table because reading the postcard message three different ways was funny. I didnt enjoy this article as much as i think i would have if it was shorter. I agree with most of his arguments, but im not a real fan of over-analyzing.
questions:
How would hickey talk about my artwork?
What kind of artwork i hi favorite
Is he still so criticall

senior plan
my senior plan is to make everyday. I want to be able to show everything i work on outside of school including sketchbooks and photos and potentially use it all towards my thesis. I expect to have at least one crit a week and one "one on one" meeting a week with my teachers. This semester i plan on working on two thing specifically that i dont believe will differ as the semester goes on (most of my "plans" for upcoming work tend to change.) I will be working a lot in photography, and continuing my cigarette butt paintings. My senior plan is to have a large, colorful and engaging body of work that reflects a realistic and relatable look into some of the life young people like myself live today. Immediately and presently, im putting most of my focus into picture taking.

video response

What i found really interesting about this video was her standpoint on sexes within the arts. She said that she didnt believe in masculinity or femininity and that everything was viewed through her eyes as the same. I like that she stressed that point, and when asked about the differences between women from the fifties in art to now, she said the differences are huge, but we shouldn't like there art just because there female. I also found it interesting that when asked how long it took her to decide if a piece was finished she said it took her three days to decide.
