RRAW: Week 2b exercise 2

STATEMENT OF INTENT.

For my blog I want it to be a place where I can display my drawings and paintings in a formal manner. I also want to be able to keep it personal and be able to write about the meanings and stores behind my works so that the reader can understand it better, and really feel it. I want my blog to an area of self expression for myself.

Danita posts blogs about her work which ranges from sketching to sewing. I LOVE the dolls she makes, and I love the amount of small details she puts into them, they are beautiful.

I'd like to run a blog where I can post about my work, and other peoples work and processes of how I make things. I'd like to be able to post whatever I feel is fitting or inspiring in for myself and for others.

RRAW: Week 2b exercise 3

My friend Rachel has been a big part of my life since I was around the age of 13. Although she is younger than me in age, by being one of my best friends she has taught me a lot about what it is to be a true friend. I've always been the kind of person to think that the older you are, the wiser you are, but it turns out I was wrong (which tends to happen a lot). When it came to Rachel I was mistaken as she was wiser than me even though she was younger and still is wiser than me to this day. When I first met her she was 11 and I was 13, I felt like the "cool" older kid and in reality I'm actually quite shy and socially awkward so I have no idea what I was thinking. Rachel has this way with people that I'll never fully be able to grasp myself, but to her it just comes off effortless. She is wise beyond her years and gives advice that I'd never have thought of and I will always look up to her for that.

RRAW!! Week 2b exercise 3

For me this image comes across foggy splotchy, and damp at first, it makes you feel cold just by looking at it. After I looked at the image for longer, I noticed more o the details and small features the artist had put in to the image, the patterns and the way that it resembled nature in a quirky kind of way. The image only has three colours, white, black and green this gives it a bold eye catching look without becoming overpowering, and the patterns remind me of vines trailing down a wall, which adds to the natural vibe this image gives off. Despite the image looking bold, it also looks fresh and crisp, like the smell when you first go outside after a frost, this is because of the cool colours used, and also the way the colours are splashed on too look watery and painterly. In the bottom right hand corner there is a rectangular shape which resembles a gate, or a door, which then leads me to think this is actually a painting of the front of a house of some sort. The door almost appears out of place with its geometric lines and structure, but in blends in well because of the colours, which is why I didn't see it at first, because it blends in so nicely.
