Contracts and Art

So Honors Art is in full swing now. We completed our first and only guided assignment, which I talked about in my previous post.

We are now working on our first contract. A contract is basically what it sounds like, an agreement to something, and in this particular case, a self designed art assignment.

Now contracts are much more complicated than that. We have to fill out the size and number of pieces we will be creating, what the subject will be, what the medium will be, etc. We then have to sign and say that this will be what we work on for the next couple of weeks. Not only that but these pieces must in some way related to all the work we create in our other contracts (there are four).

It is really stressful, but very exciting. The first contract is helping everyone, myself included, to really examine what our ideas were for our semester of work and whether or not they will work well.

Here is what I am working on so far. I am about half way done. When I get closer to being finished I will give more details on what the meaning and reason for this subject is.

In the top left picture are the two paintings I am currently working on. There will be another one added soon with the same subject. The top right painting is finished and the bottom left painting is about half way done. The kind of messy random way that the unfinished one looks is the way that the finished one looked to begin with.

Have a lovely week!
