Blog Post 4 Part 1

Looking at the upper classman work made me realize I still have so much time to grow and develop my skills as an artist. Their work was so professional and strongly developed, and their advice really helped me evaluate my choices of my use of time and helped me realize that I need to experiment more with materials and step outside of my comfort zone. Each had similar ideas to portray although their styles were completely unique. Rachael unfortunately did not show us her work, although went very well in depth with her presentation. Caelan showed their work very briefly, although her painting and her ideas for her senior project were very in-depth. Shelby’s work is a lot like the work I plan to do, since I am a Graphic Design major, her work was very colorful and even though her work is mainly online, she implemented drawing and painting elements to her work. Although in Graphic Design as well, Paul Young’s work was exceedingly different. He designs beautiful posters and logos. Both Christin and Juliana use photography as their main artwork, although have completely different styles. Juliana takes abstract and very colorful photos, while Christin takes only black and white photos of her main subject. All of the students had wonderful art, and most importantly, they shared their art with us to give us hope for our ventures into the artistic world.

I find this art blog very compelling, because it seems to be a just starting blog. I really like the simlpicity of their layout. The content of the blog contains abstract painters, blogs, art, and shows interesting exhibits and workshops to attend.

I chose this website in particular for its wide variety of resources. It is not an art blog, but more of a promoting blog for artists, it also has different categories, such as art history, art education, for artists/by artists and many more.

The Art League is more of a way to get artists involved, it has artists needed ads, and daily updates and news. This website is very useful for pretty much anybody, although catering mostly to the artistic part of the community, it is not limiting people that just want to be involved. I believe this is a great way to be a part of the community and to help people get out of their comfort zones.

creativeboom.com

This website is actually a very unusual one, it does not display art, but it is a website to help artists who have a creative block. Every artists, or atlas most of them, have encountered creative block sometime or another, and this website helps get creativity flowing and allows the ideas to flow more smoothly than to be forced. I believe this is a great tool for all artists.
