Week 9

This was my first week back since a sudden bereavement. My project noticeably changed from looking at objectivity in a multi-body set of work focusing on bathroom objects to grief. I turned in my creative essay draft, annotated bibliography, and attended all critiques in preparation. My final creative essay is attached in this week as well.

This week was the hardest week in my entire life and put a cap on the hardships I have persevered through. The hand written is the transition of my project from bathroom objects to grief. My creative essay draft is also included- this is how far I have gotten caught up.

Below are images of the second piece I made and the process of layering from acrylic to oil with brush then palette knife.

UPDATE: Shaun and I exchanged essays and turned in all of my final project content on time.

Underpainting with acrylic to get contrast started for oil layering.

Applying oil and keeping to a palette similar to the Bed piece.

Heading into week nine. Palette knife used except for background seen in the picture above.

This week was full of catching up on work missed with the helps of peers. I began to layer oil over the original pink, gray, black, and yellow tones used first in acrylic paint. My palette was influenced by chosen artists John Ransom Phillips and Ad Reinhardt. The hand written images are my written sketches and concept maps.
