The Staché

Looking through all of the assignments I was given, this was definitely one of the more... intensive ones (to say the least.)  This was completed last year around the time of Thanksgiving (YES!  I am that far behind on posting!!)  

I remember this one pretty well because it was assigned to us during Fall break.  My Fall break was spent with my loving family... cooped up in a hotel room.  This project caused me to sacrifice my Fall break; I get to see my family for the first time in months... and what do I do?  I spent those few hours slaving over a design project.  

They did manage to pull me out of my hysterics for a few hours by taking me to see The Boxtrolls (which was perfect by the way- I am a die hard Tim Burton fan.)  

If I were to take a guess... I'd say this project took 18+ hours to complete.  

Materials: one 18" x 24" sheet of all-purpose white paper, black and white construction paper, a 15" ruler, rubber cement, several black sharpies, and a black Prismicolor pencil.

(I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but there is a layer of paper collage.)

Okay!  So I know what you're probably thinking... high school??  Wasn't that a while ago?!

Well, yes.. and as you guys can probably tell, I suck at this whole blogging thing..

I am going to try to keep posting though (even if months pass in between each post.)

Hopefully one day I'll just become inspired to uphold a blog, but until then, sparse posting now and then will have to do!

So!  Without further adieu, here is the last painting that I had complete for my AP Studio class.

I haven't touched oil paints since.. as much as it pains me to admit.  I really miss the medium and hope that some day I'll have time for them. 

This last piece really shows how much progress I made throughout my senior year.. I never like my work, so of course I have nothing really to say about it.. but here it is.
