Myself: I am regretful that I could not find the lino carving which I had done, for I spent many classes gently carving every detail I could accomplish.

Art: My first painting draft for Time Painting
Today is my first day back to school since coming home last Saturday, from Europe. Hence I am behind in some work. Therefore, as my friends are finishing their first or even second painted drafts, I have just begun. I have so far completed the first image square and it is of the saying, Time Flies. The photo of it is below.
The photo below shows my second completed image square of my first painted draft. This image square is of the saying Can't Fight Time.

Art: Gesso for Time Painting
My art teacher is sick today, but she left us our itinerary. The first thing on the list is to complete our three sketch drafts. The second activity is to gesso three white sheets. With my three sketch drafts somewhat complete, I was able to gesso. I was instructed to tape down three, stretched-flat, white sheets; and gesso them. These three gessoed sheets will be used for our studies. By studies, I mean three new drafts; three new painted drafts. Which leads to the third instruction of beginning to sketch out and paint our three new drafts on the dried gessoed sheets. The photo is of my drying gessoed sheets. I had taped them stretched-out so when gessoed they would not wrinkle, but I guess I didn't do a good enough job for the middle one is quite wrinkled. I guess I'll have to see if, when dry, they won't be as wrinkled since the gesso will have settled-in.
Art: Completing the first 3 sketch drafts for Time Painting
My art teacher is home sick today and left us instructions for the day. The first instruction is to complete our first three sketch drafts. In step 4 you would have seen my first sketch draft. The photo in this post is my second sketch draft with each of the frames' colour pallet.

Art: Self Portrait 1
The first set assignment was a self portrait. There were no specific rules or regulations, just that we needed to be able to explain the piece orally and through our first artist statement. Most of my colleagues decided to draw, but I felt as if I could express myself better through words, photos, citations, names, etc...

Dream Room: Final Text & Poster Board
In English class, to practise description writing techniques we read short descriptive stories. With examples in mind, our teacher assigned us to write a descriptive text. The theme chosen, by the teacher, was Your Dream Room. Each of us were to write of Dream Room.
When the day came that our Dream Room descriptions were due, we were told to share them out loud. This began the second step. The second step was correcting by ourselves our text. Reading out loud helped many of us to detect and correct the majority of our mistakes. Sharing our descriptions also allowed us think of ideas we'd like to incorporate into our Dream Room.
With the second copy completed, then came the third step. We were to correct our descriptions again. Although, this time we were to correct our text with the help of our teacher. One by one we each sat down with our teacher and corrected our text for the second or third time. This produced our third and final copy. From the final copy we were then to creatively depict our Dream Room on a poster board.

Art: Brainstorm continuation - Rough sketching & colourpallet for Time Painting
With ideas in mind and examples to refer to, I now needed to draw a draft/outline of the six concepts I am using to represent Time. Thus the empty boxes on my brainstorming sheet are now filled with my rough sketches of how each saying will be represented. I also had the time to establish a basic colour pallet for each saying. The following picture is of the updated version of my brainstorm for my Time painting.

Art: Searching for inspiration for Time Painting
With the theme and chosen sayings, I proceeded to look for inspiration. I went online, on google images, and used my chosen sayings and the word Time as the key words/phrases for my research. The following images are ones which I would like to base my painting off of. Each or two images represent one of the chosen sayings. The sayings are indicated alongside the corresponding image(s). All images belong to the artist who created the piece, but it will not be always indicated because I might not know the artist and/or the exhibition it belongs to.

Art: Brainstorming for Time Painting
For art, my classmates and I were assigned to do a painting. Although we were to not simply paint an object such as a bowl of fruits, but paint a theme. After thinking and throwing ideas around with a friend, I finished with three possible concepts; time, corruption and the natural illusion/phenomenon of rainbows. With those three ideas I wrote and drew up my first brainstorm of my painting (refer to the 1rst photo). This basic brainstorm allowed me to eliminate my subjects from three to one; time. With Time as my theme, I then proceeded to make a second mind-map/brainstorm (refer to 2nd and 3rd photo), which is not complete. This brainstorm has allowed me to decide that I will be painting six smaller perspectives of time, based on common sayings such as Time Flies. The mind-map is not complete for I am in the process of searching for references/examples (paintings, images, and artists) to visually base my painting off of.
