Graduate Class Artwork

This month I have been doing a lot
of drawing and creating for my classes.  I
found it interesting to make art in a different medium than the mixed media collages
I have been doing.  I have been
doing research that I am interested in on some artists and themes.  From my researched ideas, I have been
evaluating my own work, questioning my-self about what my art has to say and
what motivates me to create.  Because I
am taking two different graduate classes, I have two separate art statements, and
I have been trying to refine them both.  Below
is some of the work that I have created this month.

 This image is inspired by a
classmate’s artwork.

Some of the sketches from the
beginning of the month are dark, at the start of the month my art
desk needed a light fixed, once the broken light was fixed the photos
came out better.
I have also found that I really want to get back into
creating block prints, so I will be using some of my sketches to create the
stamps for block printing.
