TRANSITION

So this is one of the "transition to north america" painting. I am ill and could not present in class. Hope everyone did well, if you guys could post pix that would be great.
The woman in the Hijab signifies my mother and her biggest regret: Sending me here. I'm sure the rest is self explanatory.

See you guys next class.

BORING!!

Project Changes

I've been working on the next poster. I have confidence that I've ironed out the troubles with the last one.

In foremost, I've increased the size of the image to 40x50", though I may shrink it down, and the resolution of the icon is being doubled, though I'm considering tripling it. I'm also using narrative instead of discourse as the written content, which means much more literal imagery.

I'm still taking the same approach though, of stream of consciousness writing, though there'll be more editing now, and I've decided to work around the theme of 'monsters', in every sense of the word.

Just a heads up. Thoughts?

Changing Ideas

Hey guys! I'm bored of my shit idea and I feel like I don't get to do painting so I was thinking of changing my idea with some along the seven sins :P (sorry Jeanna) it's a good topic. I was thinking of doing a series of seven paintings with the seven colors of the sins. I want to create some abstract paintings of these sins with stick figures as a type of border and the image of my self portrait. I can't really explain it, but I will be making an example very soon. If you have any ideas, feel free to give any suggestions.

ideas

MOCCA Field Trip

"As announced in the course outline, we will take a field trip Tuesday, October 9. Please meet in front of MOCCA, 952 Queen St West at 10:45 AM.

Bring notebooks and a camera (if you have one.)

If you cannot make the trip, please email David Hlynsky. You will be asked to visit a specific list of galleries before the Oct. 16 Class and write a report on the exhibitions there." (Taken from the Intranet)
