Final Blog

This trimester I was most happy with my second piece. I worked in a medium I had not really used before, and by my standards it came out pretty well. I was also happy with my first one because I have never done anything with any sort of collage before.
I was unhappy with what I thought was going to be my first piece, which was a painting. I was unhappy with this because I have a lot of trouble with painting, so it came out pretty poorly.
I feel like I did make some progress over the trimester. For the first two weeks or so, I had a couple of vague ideas, but had a lot of trouble coming up with any artwork to go with them. When Kristen mentioned something about dreams, I decided to use that.
My first piece tries to communicate the warped perspectives we can get after waking up from a vivid dream and/or the time when you are half asleep and in two frames of mind at once. The second piece is about lucid dream which is communicated by the string going from the back of the head to the outline of a person. The third one was about a dream I had which involved being stuck on a train. I feel like the last one is not something other people could get just by looking at it. I am working on my final piece right now.
I would give my blogging effort a 4. I think the blog was helpful because it forced me to look at different artist I would not have otherwise.
