So I've realized that I'm starting to run low on concentration ideas...I know there's plenty more I could do, I just need to think of new things before I exhaust the list I've already come up with. So...any ideas?

As of now I've done the feather duster, tea set, fireplace, and a cool antique lamp.

On my list of ideas for future projects are a clock, maybe a chandelier (though I already have a lamp so maybe that's too similar), a wine glass or bottle (though that's a bit similar to the teacups and kettle), an armchair (?)...I keep looking around my house for ideas but nothing is jumping out at me that I haven't really done already. Oh, wait! I just remembered that I have an old-fashioned telephone that would be perfect. That's really the only solid idea I have beyond what I'm already working on.

Helps me! If anyone sees a household object that looks like it has a personality to be brought out, let me know. I know there's plenty more things to find, I just have to look closer.

This made me laugh pretty hard...

Welcome to Naw'lins Ya'll

These are the NO pics i was telling yall about. the first is a heap of trash and the sign says playground, i thought it was kind of intersting. the last three is a very decorated house.

Sorry

Dear Audrey,
I am sincerely sorry that I spilled Coke on your drawring (hehe). However, it did give me an idea for mine.
Love

College Board Announcement RE: Digital Portfolios

Beginning this school year, the College Board will implement a digital, Web-based submission process for the three AP Studio Art portfolios. For the May 2009 exam administration, artworks for Studio Art portfolio sections that have traditionally required slides will now be submitted as digital images.

Please note that changing from slides to digital submission will not change any of the content requirements for the portfolios. The Quality section for the Drawing and 2-D Design portfolios will still require you to submit actual artworks, and the number of images required for all sections will remain the same.

As more information becomes available this fall, this page will be updated to include details such as:
-Your role in the digital submission process
-Digital imaging specifications and tips
-Web browsers and other technical requirements
-How to access the web application
-Dates and deadlines

When important updates are made to this page, your AP Studio Art teacher or AP Coordinator will let you know when to check back.

Adorable Apple n' stuff

This artist, James Gurney, posts a challenge on his blog every Wednesday. He gives his readers a week to submit art based on whatever prompt he put forth. Two Wednesdays ago he put up a picture of a business card for some fruit growers, two brothers named Collier, and asked people to imagine the Collier Brothers. Pretty much all of the picture submissions had apples, but I looooove this one by "Honey P. Amplegood". It's ADORABLE.

The challenge the week before was to illustrate the quote, "The old man felt a tendril of anger rising". Probably my favorite from that week was this one by Antonio Aurajo. I love the style.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool blog. He has those weekly challenges and he usually posts general tips for artists and stuff. I love the challenges the best, though, because you can link right to the blogs of artists who catch your eye. :)
