Senior Art Thesis: studio work

This is merely a sketch (although it is a complete work). The way that I wanted to sketch this semester was by creating smaller pieces in a small amount of time, really trying my skills of visual arts when it comes to color, space, composition, materials, etc. I am also doing these sketches out in the open on the Coe College campus (you could call it performance art...I just call it art).

Finally, X has been completed and I am finally happy with this piece. Its gone through many changes, but I am satisfied and you can look for this piece at the Cedar Rapids Eco-Arts Fest on April 16th, 2011. There, it will be showcased and judged along with a couple other pieces in a Recycled Art competition. This will be on sale there, so if you think you might be interested, come to the Eco-Arts Fest! more info on this event can be found on newboczech.info.

This piece actually looks completely different from when I took this photo. I don't have a name for it yet, but it is near completion (the photo doesn't do it any justice). It's an 8' long piece, so its the biggest piece that I have every done to this date. This is going in my Senior Exhibition

House #2 is one of the newest pieces I've been working on. It is one of the pieces to be shown at my Senior Art Exhibition on April 29th, 2011.

Home #1 is also going in my Senior Show in April, I am planning to use details of this work for my invites to my show, so if you would like one, email you address to my email address: njjared@coe.edu.

Finally, an update on this piece: Doorway. It is completed and it will accompany two of my pieces at the Recycled Art Show at this years Eco-Arts Festival in Cedar Rapids, IA. Come celebrate Earth Day and see my current work!

Update on my Art

So I've finally decided to update my blog with the progress I've been making in my studio. Below are some photos of my studio, to show you the world through which I create my works. Every artist's studio is different, but sometimes, I think mine is cramped and full of the strangest things, and I like it that way. New photos of my work are coming soon...as in minutes.
