I'm Becca and I'm an AP artist. I enjoy working with found papers to create a collage and then adding encaustic wax to create mixed media pieces. I have my style but I'm not positive as to what my concentration is. I hope to go to SCAD and pursue a career in graphic design. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Francis Coppola's The Godfather

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2012/01/francis-coppolas-godfather.html

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Friday, January 13, 2012. Francis Coppola's The Godfather. Parts I and II. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Paramount, 1972 and 1974. Francis Ford Coppola’s The. Based on Mario Puzo’s novel, is a masterpiece, and its deep engagement is one of both style and content: its story is not only about the induction of one young man into a crime family—there is something more elemental beneath that, something about innocence and experience, idealism and pragmatism. In light of...

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Note on “Black Art and Culture in the 20th Century”

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2011/11/note-on-black-art-and-culture-in-20th.html

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Note on “Black Art and Culture in the 20th Century”. I have been reading Richard J. Powell’s study Black. Thames and Hudson, 1997), a book I first encountered several years ago: it’s a history of black diaspora visual culture, with a focus on African-American painting, sculpture, photography, and film, though it also comments on culture in Africa, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. I love film, so the photographs from Cabin. Arts and Le...

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Drawing

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2011/11/drawing.html

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. I looked at a video from North Light of artist Joy Thomas teaching how to draw the clothed figure a few days ago: she spoke about and demonstrated the importance of selecting a good model with appropriate and diverse changes of dress, and establishing the allowed time for a portrait (three hours?

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Occupy Wall Street

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-street.html

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Many people spend their lives trying to reconcile their hopes for themselves with the world—indifferent, skeptical—as it is. Yet, there are times when one feels either most optimistic or most threatened, and then one challenges that complacency, the self-satisfaction of the comfortable and the powerful. Some want to conserve what they have, refusing to share; and other know they require more, as others do. The common charge is that many of t...

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker: Notes on Looking

http://theartnotesofasolitarywalker.blogspot.com/2012/02/notes-on-looking.html

The Art Notes of a Solitary Walker. Wednesday, February 8, 2012. I think that when I first began to visit galleries and museums regularly, I would spend as much time reading as looking at the art: the art descriptions, whether in sheets of descriptions and lists or wall labels, were read for whatever information or insight they might give. I could spend three hours or more at a museum, seeing each thing, reading about each thing, and leave exhausted, my eyes red, my legs stiff. It can be hard to convey t...

Let's build something good that we can't see with our eyes. From about 1830 to the end of the American Civil War, escaped slaves made their way across the Canada-US border along the Underground Railroad. Many headed for the end of the line, that being the village that would become the city of Owen Sound, on the shores of Georgian Bay. Where Sunday light rises. To close a circle. Led down to this water’s edge. At the railroad’s end. Balm to heal the holy wound. Someone left the door open. You are commenti...

Professional writing, editing, communications and collage. Striving for perfection serves me well in literary endeavors, but creating collages, which I began doing in 2010, showed me the beauty of. Perfection. The edge of a page ripped from a magazine becomes a cloud. A stack of books serves as a staircase. Ladders are legs. I use whatever materials I find along the way sometimes a museum brochure, sometimes a ticket stub, sometimes pages from an old book. Collagist Romare Bearden.

Last Week's BioGem -- Annette Bush

Can You Feel the Music? September 2, 1911 – March 12, 1988. Harlem Renaissance — Painter ⁄ Collage Artist — African-American. Today’s visual artists give new meaning to the cut and paste in the world of collage. Some of them get fantastic results with this new digital medium; yet, I wonder if they surpass the cut and paste creations of Romare Bearden. Of the Blues: At the Savoy, 1974. You put down one color and it calls for an answer. You have to look at it as a melody. Ndash; Romare Bearden.
