SOOOOOOooooooooooo...... things have been CRAZY! I am so thankful school is a quick blink away from being over for the summer... my dad made me promise not to skip school since it's so close to being done and I will do my best..... can't wait to sleep in every day!
My project in art history is coming along great. We are suppose to modernize a head in our own way compared to the head that Damien Hurst decorated with diamonds years ago.
he used a real human skull and real diamonds on his... mine is styrophome and glue but I still think it's pretty fantastic. I created a box covered with mirrors inside along with lights and my head will sit inside. the head is covered in high end fashion labels and then glazed over several times... trying to show that we may not realize that fashion and brand names effect us in our every day life and has something to do in choices we make and lifestyles we choose, and that fashion reflects into our every day lives and originality is becoming more and more difficult to come by. Thats my thoughts on it thus far. Still have to figure out what I am going to cover the outside of the box in..... was thinking about seeing if i could find cloth with map or global print on it to show the outside of the box as the world..... IDK.....
I would really love to get enough pieces together that I could see if the museum would let me hold an exibit sometime... that would be bad- ass! BUT the head is due on monday so I gotta get crackin with it!
The first 2 shows with the band went great I think... lots of room for me to improve but I got through it and didn't really mess up too bad in any one spot.
