Art at uni




SO far in art
It took me a few days but I think I may have just about got to grips with the way things roll in Fine art at university. It petty simple really...
Your on your own.
I like it.
This week we have been asked to focus on Mapping, lan
dscaping and the body.
I am looking at the marks people leave behind. Not in an environmental sen
se, non of that business, in the sen
se of old house that are empty, the writing behind the wallpaper the people before you left, the stains on the kitchen floor, the heights of their children up the side of the door frame, where the front steps have a grove in them from years of use or finger prints on the glass or walls. The things that other people left, secrets in a sense. On the right you should be able to see names and a mark next to them. With this I tryed to achi
ve the image of pealed bacl wall paper with names and heights of two children, a boy and a girl. I wanted to create a personal sense to the he
ights you can see as the children get older the boy become taller then his sister.

This lower piece on the right is the final progression in a motif that shows aging floor boards.



I
also drew a picture of some string which I an quiet pleased with.

I have been at Lancaster university for a whole week now and enjoying it very very much!
Made some great new friends to.


Here I will be studying Fine art with art history as my major and philosophy as my minor. It is all very exciting. I am
loving living on my own much to my mothers disappointment and have not yet set anything on fire.
I am living in County college and what a college it is.
