Today I started a new piece! This one is continuing the glitching seeing multiples sorts of aesthetics. This piece makes you see triple! I first sketched it out on the canvas then began to add color with oil paint. I have so far completed half of one of the faces. Tombow I am hoping to get the rest of that face complete.

Reflection

It has been now a full week of senior project! I have had the best time spending my days this week in the art room. It is truly my favorite spot on campus. Waking up at 9:00 am to head over and paint is truly a blessing. It has certainly been relaxing to not have classes but I am always tired out of my creative brain churning all day. This week I began and more or less finished my self-portrait. I started with a sketch and turned it into an oil painting. I really loved the consistent about of time I could work on it each day. Although the painting did take longer than expected in actuallity was the fastest painting I have ever completed due to the number of hours I put in each day.  Next week I plan on starting a new oil painting! I definitely will fish another this week and start the next one hopefully. I have some sketches of possible ideas. I am very excited to continue this week painting and doing what I love.

Today I started my first peace! I began by talking with Birgit about possible ideas. I then brain stormed on paper to come up with a final idea. Finley I sketched out what I was going to do on canvas. I drew what is supposed to be a self-portrait in a somewhat glitchy aesthetic. I have done many portraits in the past but this one I want to take somewhat of a different approach.  Then a set up my palet with all my different colors I would need, picked out my paint brushes and got to work! Here is what I have done so far! Can't wait to keep going tomorrow! Hours 9:30-12:30 break for lunch  1:00-2:30

I began my project cutting wood with Corbet in order to create the framework for my canvas. It's a lot of measuring at first but it was super cool to learn how to properly and safely use the power saw.  After measuring and cutting you have to carefully glue the wood together to create frames. I created 4 different sized frames that I then will cover with canvas.  Once the glue dries I cleaned up the corners by sanding them down to create a perfect edge with no leftover glue or wonky sides.  Then I cut the canvas to fit each frame. I could have measured but I ended up just eyeballing it. It was very similar to cutting wrapping paper to wrap a present.  Then the Part that I spent most of my day doing is slowly stapling and harming the canvas to the wood. The was a lot of stapling to do and it definitely made my hand sore by the end. In order to make sure the canvas is taught you also have to continue pulling it in working from the inside out to the corners.  Here is the final product
