purpleponyartReading Week officially started Thursday at 1pm for me. I packed up all my things, made sure I didn’t need to buy anything from the bookstore and felt a load off my shoulders! Monday is a holiday in Alberta and I have Friday off, so I should be able to work hard on my projects.
Believe it or not, the one thing I wanted to do most was clean house and get organized. I didn’t do anything on Thursday afternoon or evening, but on Friday I vacuumed, cleaned the bird cages, cleared the kitchen table, organized the piles in my office and cut up cardboard boxes for projects or recycling. The piles were really annoying, but they were the best way to organize all the little pieces and things. It would be so easy if I was in drawing or painting, but both big and little “c” craft takes up space.
So, back to today, Saturday…I worked on the second project for Tuesday’s class. When I was generating ideas, I wanted to delve into Renaissance art and fashion someone new. A breakthrough occurred this week—Tuesday’s projects are about the future, Wednesday’s are about the past and Thursday’s is the present. Whoa!
Project 2 is about St. Jerome, the patron saint of libraries, librarians, archivists and translators. He’s the perfect subject for art! He’s often depicted as a cave-dwelling hermit with a lion. To be honest, my first idea was to depict myself as a modern St. Jerome, but my teacher read my mind, hah! I would still like to do that rendition, however. Anyway, hubs and I were watching The Mind’s Eye, a 1990 collection of computer animation and the optimism on display inspired me to sketch an asteroid with a satellite dish on top with the title of ST-J3ROM.
I’ll share some pictures later. I’m just dog-tired. Standing for five hours pulping paper and sculpting was a lot of physical effort. If you want, you can watch The Mind’s Eye and sequels on YouTube. We’ve come a long way in a short time :-)
