College Art Work (1998-2002)

Ok this isn't really a drawing. It's a silk screen. It's probably the only silk screen I will ever do because it was a pain. I call it "The Hunt" this is an artist print, number 18/30. Spring 2000.	This is a small drawing series that I had to do for Drawing 2. Sept.9, 2000	This is number one from the previous series by itself. Sept.9, 2000	This is number two by itself. Sept.9, 2000
Number three by itself. Sept.9, 2000	A still life that I did in my dorm with an acryllic wash as the background. Sept. 15, 2000	A drawing of some trees on campus. This is an incomplete 45 minute drawing. It was freezing outside the day I did it so I couldn't stand to be out there any longer. Sept. 24, 2000	A classroom still life set up. Sept.27, 2000
An Abstract Still Life. We divided the paper into four pieces and drew a dfifferent part of the still life in each section. Oct.23, 2000	The final project of the term was to do another series of three drawings. One had to be in black and white, one had to be in color and one could be a choice of media. This is "Watch, Necklace and Vest #1." Dec. 1, 2000	"Watch, Necklace and Vest #2." Dec. 6, 2000	"Watch, Necklace and Vest #3." Dec. 8, 2000

"Al Gore Taming the Elephants." This drawing has a good story to it. Our teacher assigned a great assignment in drawing class. The teacher had 3 envelopes that he passed around the room. One had people, one had animals and one had random pottery and art pieces. They were all small newspaper, and magazine clippings. He told us to take one picture from each envelope and we had to combine them into one picture. Now this was during the 2000 presidental election when Gore was running against Bush. Just by chance, out of the envelopes I pulled out Al Gore, an elephant and a piece of ancient Jomon Japanese pottery. I was so amused by it all because I KNEW that no matter what I did with these it was going to be political. So, I did some sketches and I came up with Gore riding an elephant, I then repeated the elephant two more times so it looked like a herd and then I took the top of the Japanese pottery and made it into an abstract futuristic city background. That wasn't quite enough so I repeated Gore in the sky yelling some kind of battle cry. The picture of Gore was a crappy B&W magazine clipping. You could hardly make out his facial features, but he did look angry in the picture with his fist up like that and everything. I did well on the assignment. It certainly was my favorite project that term. Fall 2000
