I really love this work. I am having so much FUN! Of course there's another voice saying if it's so much fun, then it's not, then it's not work. I am not a serious person but I want to be taken seriously. Visit my other blog http://improbablebeautiful.blogspot.com/</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my throughline for teaching art. <b><i>How can I discover the World of Art, within me and all around me?</i></b> I want my students to think about this question everyday and figure out their own answers. I have come to believe you can't "teach art". Especially not to little kids, they already know art. Their ideas are so much better than mine. That is why I love the choice based classroom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used to believe teaching the whole class a project was the only way to teach skills. Instead as each center opens I teach the skills needed to use and care for the material in that center. What the students make using the materials is up to them. In choice class the students figure out what they need to know. They take initiative and they ask for the skills, materials and techniques to make their projects work. Within each project are challenges and questions that must be answered through the act of making. I facilitate students understanding of their work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also try to apply the throughline to myself. <b><i>How can I discover the World of Art, within me and all around me? </i></b>Can I give myself the freedom I allow/expect my students to have? How can I use what happens in the class in my own practice? </div>

I'm inspired to continue working on these. They're sort of crowns related to the rings of the tree. There are sticks and bark imbedded into the sides. Here's the Gracious Grace modeling the crowns.</div>

The guy said it's from Mawli. The figure is metal at it's core. It appears fragile but is quite sturdy. It's travelled far and is still held together essentially by mud.<br />

I carried it home in my suitcase and had a stand built for it. I love this figure. I have wanted to do some art around it for a long time. I'm not satisfied with the drawing. It's too stiff and cartoony.<br />

These mash-ups on photoshop are better but still don't capture the grit and magic of the figure. The dangling beads, the funk of the fir, the sense of wrapped and unraveling are missing from the work so far. </div>

Growing up I loved the challenge of trying to balance this figure on it's pedestal. When I began sketching I naturally focused on capturing balance. As I sketched the face became more interesting. Sketching can reveal new directions.<br />

Non verbis, sed rebus</div>
<br />
This is the start of the second semester of my MFA-IA program. I am trying to find out how to express ideas with image not word. With materials, not pictures. What is the minimal amount of information needed to say what needs to be said? More importantly what needs to be said? Last semester ended OK. I made enough work to have a small show which opened at the start of this semester. It's been up for a week and I've sold two pieces so far! That's encouraging but also scary. Mostly scary because I'm moving on from that body of work. At least I think I am. The problem is I haven't made much work at all so far this semester. Slow start. I have too much everyday noise going on plus anxiety about what to do next. I feel a bit fuzzy, like my mind is filled with static.<br />
<br />
Luckily I outlined a plan while I was still in residency. I hope to look at several artists who use symbols and signs in their work. I think part of my interest in symbols grows out of my job as a teaching artist. I use symbols for students who can't read and because they have more immediacy for students. I've been interested in and studying African American art history for a long time. The use of symbols is a part of this heritage that continues to intrigue me. This semester I am also working on a collaborative art project with two classmates, both print makers who use symbols in their work. We took apart a book and we're each working on sections that we will mail off to each other throughout the semester.<br />

I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted anything. This blog is supposed to be a record of my MFA experience, instead it feels like yet another thing I <i>should</i> do but I'm not. <br />
<br />
I'm feeling very unsatisfied/agitated by the "work". I feel a little stuck and don't know how to push forward or if I can push forward. What if this is it? What if there's nothing more, nothing better to come from me? Or another way I guess I can think of it is...What does the next level look like? feel like?<br />
<br />
I imagine feeling free and more than that <b>I imagine feeling courageous.</b> What would I do if I wasn't afraid? Make art. Make more art. Make bigger funkier messier art. Share my art. What would it feel like to be an artist? It would feel important. I would have something to say. I would know what I want to say. What does it mean to say something through making art? How do you make a statement using just color, shapes and lines?<br />
<br />
What am I afraid of? Failure. What's the worse thing that could happen? I would make art and show my art and people would hate it and laugh at me for thinking I could be an artist. What would happen after that? I would feel awful and I would feel mad. But worse than that is I would make art and share it and everyone would say it's nice but really think it was sad or pathetic and no one will tell me the truth so I never know how truly awful my work is. That's the worse thing that could happen.<br />

I've been looking forward to having him over. I can't say the same about these books. I really did not want to read anything. But now that they're here I'm glad. <br />

I can't believe it. I'm so excited! I feel like I finally found someone who speaks my language.<br />

I also saw an exhibit by Emily Payne at Erica Tanov.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JDPxOMMAcYs/UKeyMgIv89I/AAAAAAAAAH4/sqBHacNff5Q/s1600/pinwheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JDPxOMMAcYs/UKeyMgIv89I/AAAAAAAAAH4/sqBHacNff5Q/s320/pinwheel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
When I looked on Emily's website I remembered she'd done an earlier installation with Erica Tanov similar to this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BmF-tcZ8coM/UKeynH1nWEI/AAAAAAAAAIA/3ql4O7NuoPk/s1600/hover_dsg-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BmF-tcZ8coM/UKeynH1nWEI/AAAAAAAAAIA/3ql4O7NuoPk/s320/hover_dsg-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

And this work reminded me of Ruth Asawa.<br />

I think this is the transition from SAM to quicktime movie. They don't look blurry on my computer before I export them. <br />
<br />
2) On my next experiments I'll put titles and credits. <br />
<br />
3) Here's my favorite animation by one of my favorite animators/filmmakers. i love the simplicity of the images. <br />

Colormotions. Another experiment with the SAM software. I tried duplicating and reversing the frames. I'm not sure why the light flickers so much. It looks like an old school TV. I don't mind it but I'd like to have control over these issues. I think I nudged the lamp slightly each shot. <br />
