I will one day post the notes from my sketchbook. I had Art History with Sands again during the spring semester! That class was super fun, I learned a lot, and I retained a lot! Anyways, we took a trip to the Smithsonian Art Museum in May and here are some highlights:
Alexander Calder
Mondrian
Another Calder
(He's one of my favorite artists.)
Jasper Johns
(who makes great lunches)
Renoir's Red Ribbons
(try saying that five times fast)
Degas...ballerina
Monet
Monet
Watson and the Shark by John Copley
This was just so cool. I loved the colors of the flags.
(I don't know the artist's name)
CALDER RED
(Can you tell I love Calder?)
Lichtenstein
I LOVE ALEXANDER CALDER

I got two pumpkins this year and instead of carving, I thought I'd try a new technique- paint.
First, I cut out a bunch of shapes out of painter's tape and puzzle-pieced it all around my pumpkin.
Then, I painted it. All over. Rainbow colors.
I got a bit carried away, as shown by my white hand print.
Cool colors.
Warm colors.
My mini-pumpkin.
That became a candy apple! (It's a bit bigger than the actual ones.)
Next, I ripped the tape off.
I was disappointed because the tape had paint run under it.

Obligatory B&W photo
It isn't true art unless you're covered in it!
My creation and I
All in all, this was a very interesting experience. I wish I had gotten photos of the pumpkin with just the painter's tape on it. It looked really rad! Next time, I'll know to use a different kind of painter's tape- one that doesn't run through. I will also stick to painting in darker colors because they show up a lot better than the warm colors like red and orange. Which makes sense, seeing as how pumpkins are orange. :D
It's the Great Pumpkin!
