from my mom to aunt joyce

this is a homework assignment i did today.

tania was so nice to play model and let me take pictures of her.

mom liked it a lot and exclaimed, "i wish joyce could see this!"

so here you are aunt joyce:

please be kind, i didn't spend a lengthy amount of time on it

and i do see the flaws that could be tweaked.

i LOVE you all and have a WONDERFUL friday!

LOOK OUT WORLD! jeanette has a SCANNER~PRINTER~COPIER!

Today my BEAUTIFUL parents and I went to Sam's Club and they got me a 3-in-1 printer! Whose name is Henderson Patrick (Henderson or Hendy for short)

Of course, I'll be paying them back in installments, rightly so.

BUT, i was SO VERY excited to finally get one (i've been thinking about getting one for like a yearish now) that i scanned some sketches from one of my sketchbooks to share them with you.

PLEASE be kind, these are from 2007-08. and YES, i see all the mistakes in them, so no need to point them out.

LOTS of LOVE to my LOVELIES!

THIS is snow, for all you non-ohioians

We got some snow up here in Ohio.

I just thought I'd share some pics of real snow.

This is me shoveling the side walk, mom managed to guilt me into doing it.

Me conquering the snow, in my AWESOME green apple boots!

Mom's pretty house covered in snow.

Look at the snow on the railing.

One last look of all the snow, and my pretty car after I brushed it off after shoveling.

Mom got a snow day today and today was my day off, so we visited some thrift stores, saw a matinee, picked up some groceries and then had lunch. It was nice spending some time with her. ^_^

For Katrina

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Design a Nationwide Insurance Billboard using a famous person who resembles

your "personal voice." Must be done with mixed materials and be a relief (the projection of forms or figures from a flat ground, so that they are partly or wholly free of it).

I chose Theodor Seuss Geisel (AKA Dr. Seuss).

PART 1:

Research: KNOW your man

Part 2:

Composition sketches and color scheme

Part 3:

Technique Study: Play with different materials to see what works best.

The left Thing was done using sculpey(clay like stuff), paint, and a boa.

The right Thing was done using cardboard, felt, and marker.

The letters were done using cardboard, sculpey and felt.

Part 4:

Execute idea to full size (16x20") in finished form.

The final was done using sculpey, paint, paper, cardboard, and a boa (for the fun hair!).

Part 5:

Take photo of billboard with light source.

Kat only asked to see the finished piece, but I decided to show her the whole process. ^_^

I LOVE YOU, MY LOVELIES! ^_^
