New Works

I think Nu-Works is a wonderful program at Booker T Washington. It is a class that allows social activity that also allows us to learn at the same time. I really enjoy the collaboration, and how we always incorporate all the clusters in one class. Some drawbacks are the organization of the class. It gets tumultuous sometimes, and discipline/organization would allow this class to suffice.

Inspiration

Insipration is the derivative of everything. Without it, we would be hindered to progress artistically, mentally, socially, etc. Some of my insipration for my art is the music I listen to and the books I read. It varies, really. Some artists that inspire me inculde Andy Warhol, Los Campesinos!, Sublime, and Kurt Vonnegut. They allow me to find the artist within myself. What or who inspires you?

Favorite song

Some of my Art..




Right: "Things are different under the surface." Surface of
water=stereotypes. This was done in marker, with the water and woman's face in watercolor. Her hair was done in oil pastel. There is also some pen in the picture.












Left: Bigger one was done in charcoal pencil. Her body language implies her unwillingness to believe the lie she is trying so hard to emphasize: "Love is a beautiful thing."
