Final Steps

So, I'm currently finishing up my work from this year and planning to post lots of pictures soon. For IB Art, we have to send out a "CRB" (Candidate Record Book) for the examiner to look through before our big show. What that means is that I took lots of pictures of my work (that I will post!), as well as important research from my sketch book. I'm working on my artist's statement as well, which is a fancy way of saying "What I did this year...". It's a bit tougher than I thought, but it will talk about: 

• My artwork
• My inspiration
• My influences
• My definition of beauty

I have a lot of ideas for projects still, but I will have to wait until after the art show. Right now, I have to get everything all pretty for my show!

I'm pretty excited about the project I need to finish right now because it's a very symbolic piece (unusual for me, since I tend to go for pretty pictures instead of deep meaning). It's going to be a mirror with this awesome frame. I found it at Salvo and I was VERY excited! I want to paint words of inspiration, definition, synonyms, and other quotes about beauty across it in black acrylic. In the center will be a red heart. Finally I want to smash the center of the mirror to symbolize breaking stereotypes and expressing individuality. If you can't picture it, just wait! I'm excited to finish it soon so I will keep you updated :)

I promise pictures of my 12 finished pieces as they come along!
