Sculpture of Glass

So every year, starting three years ago, high school students from my school and a local artist work together to create a sculpture. For a year the sculpture will sit in front of our public library and when the year is up the it will be moved to a growing sculpture garden at our high school and a new one is installed in front of the library.

This year we are working with glass and metal to create our sculpture. There is a local artist who has an art studio in his garage. He has a few kilns for both glass (I think it is called a kiln for glass...) and clay.

So far we have just been getting used to working with glass. In fact on Sunday I and a couple other students worked together to create a tube of glass that will be cut into beads. On my own I made a paper weight. They both turned out pretty cool!

I will try to keep you posted with updates (and maybe even some pictures) on how this sculpture of glass will turn out.

Boredom...to art!

So I was a little bored and decided to sketch a figure with some fancy clothes.

Then I thought that maybe I could take a picture and add some color with some fun art apps on my iPad.

I found another older sketch and did the same.

Tada!

Now go be creative with your boredom!

Throwback Thursday!

So I thought it might be fun to look at some delightful works of art I created in the past. I have been drawing/sketching all my life...well almost.

When I was in between the ages of 8 and 12 I did a lot of people drawings. I liked to take a regular college ruled, one subject notebook and draw a story. Usually the main character was a girl and she started out very young and the story followed her growing up years even until she was a grandma. I probably filled about six notebooks with ten different stories.

Here are some examples...I could not find the ones from when I was 8...

This is my sketchbook as it has evolved over the last couple years.

I will do some looking and see if I can find some even older specimens for you all to see.

Have a lovely night!!
