•  Writing- At least 350 words required to describe the idea.

Student Blog Examples:

maquettes: use a clean background to take pictures of your work

ARTIST INSPIRATION:

Odine Lang    

The piece above inspires me to use wax and yarn together.  The way something as delicate as a leaf can be welded together with crochet lace emphasizes the materiality of each material, which is something I want to replicate in my work and this piece specifically. Love this work! So delicate.

Shantel Wright
These are just examples of some "styles" I've been looking at. I love the first "ragged-ish" one, but not looking to go quite that rough.

I have been extremely inspired for some time by artists that use animal imagery figuratively to express human emotion, and those that push the sculptural qualities of the animal body.

Ellen Jewett

I love the elegance of these even with the visual roughness from a distance.

Beth Cavener-Stitcher

I want this type of emotion in the piece below..

Erika Sanada



Jane Alexander

Love these forms! The simplified nature of the figures as well as their interaction with each other.
