What do you think about this?

Well I grabbed The Minaret today while getting lunch, and I run across this story titled "Naked for Charity: Airline and Rowing Team Release Seminude Calendar". I was very curious to read this story since I just recently got on Tampa's Rowing Team, how exciting! Well anyways I read this story and the women and men's rowing team at Warwick University posted nude for a charity calendar. The women's calendar supports the Macmillan Cancer support, while the men's calendar supports bullying and homophobia in schools. I don't know how to feel about this, I think its a great cause, but I don't know if I could do this. What do you guys think about it?

Here's a picture of some of the women, you can look up more pictures for both. "Warwick Rowing Nude"

Copier Project....

So I haven't started my project yet, but I do have the idea of everything. I just hope it works out right and I don't run out of ideas. Also I have to find a copier to use.....I'll see how the library is looking tomorrow night.

Thoughts....

As I thought about our next project in class, I didn't really have to second guess it. I immediately picked POP ART to use as my art movement inspiration. Pop art always catches my eye, so I think this project will be really fun and creative to do. I'm not sure what my concepts will be yet, I'm still brainstorming.....

Finally done with the grid art project....

Having a grid art project was pretty cool! I had an idea of making a picture of the "love" statue in Philly, but that idea went out the box once I started my project. I was in Michaels for about 45mins. thinking of ideas and making sure I got the right materials and enough of them. I thought I was going to get buttons the same size, but that was not the case I had to get different size buttons; I had to work with what u had. Once I actually started the project after cutting a foam board. worrying if it would work I started with a idea on a pattern on the outside border, but once I got to  the middle my ideas started to change. I was very interested in this project and my crafty mind just took over. I know you probably didn't  noticed, but I got carried away and was way off grid, but I had to work with that I was already too far ahead. My challenges with this project were the spacing since my buttons where circular, another thing was I wasn't sure on the amount of buttons I needed, so I end up going to the store again because I didn't have enough small buttons. In the little bags there weren't a even amount of buttons so the different sizes weren't all the same quantity. I added a bow & arrow in the project since love and a bow and arrow combine together. My friend also noticed a heart in the project as well, this wasn't planned but it came out right. So the word love, and the bow&arrow, and the heart were all together which was great! I'm glad everyone liked my project, I think if I were put in a art class with many different crafts for days I would make something outrageous! Great project, since this was my first art class in college I really enjoyed this project because it made me feel like I was in elementary school because we always did projects. This project made me relaxed a lot!

Grid Art Progress

 I am having fun with this grid art project, only thing is I ran in to a little minor problem. I'm sure you guys won't even notice it when I present it in class. I can't wait to see everyone's finish project, it should be very interesting!!!!
I also wanted to share with you guys a picture I took over the summer in New York. I just realized it relates to grid art; I made these strawberry cupcakes myself yum!

Passion

In class today, I loved that we talked about passion. Becoming older and older you realize what you really want to in life, and it becomes a passion. I want to work with a professional sports team, or at a D1 college. My dream is  to work with the pros though, which I think about all the time. I actually work for a pro team now, the Tampa Bay Lightning; I am a sales rep for the 50/50 Foundation. Its a great opportunity, but of course not the field I want to do . I'm aiming at event management or operations for a team and I'm going to get there very soon and no one is going to stop me!

Grid Art Idea for sure.....

So I have decided that I do want to recreate the "Love" picture, but I'm not sure what I my material will be. I have been browsing around, but I have not found a material that catches my eye. I think if I just go to Michael's and look around I would find the perfect material.

Grid Art Idea....

This grid art project should be interesting; I really have no clue on what I should do. I liked the idea with the little beads, but that is very risky plus all my beads are at home. I'm thinking about making a "Love" piece work, but I'm not sure what my materials would consist of. I need more ideas on this project, so I'll keep looking up materials.
