My first post will be explaining my strengths, weaknesses, interests, and my definition of what art is. To me art is the expression of one's self through the use of different materials, presented in a creative way. We can tell how the artist was feeling or thinking when he made the piece, by simply looking at it. As we begin creating art i would like to use pastels, crayons, clay, and paint. From my expiriances with these materials before, i have a good idea on what id like to do. For clay i want to make a standing sculpture, for pastels i just want to smear them all over and make an abstract peice. With crayons id like to melt them down and let them run across the paper in all different directions. Lastly id like to use paint and splatter it all over my canvas like off of the show dexter. He uses corn syrup and dye to mimic blood spatters and thats what i want to try with different colour paint. My weakness is drawing and paintint something, im creative and have good ideas, i just cant sit and draw and object or paint one.

Jake, there are so many artists who prefer to work in a more expressive manner instead of being 'neat and tidy'. Sometimes, this type of art allows artists to really communicate through their creations rather than feeling stifled by limitations. I look forward to exploring lots of different materials with you this semester!
