Week 8 Commets

Clayton
I’m in love with the layering that is going on within your piece.  All of those vibrant colors and different imagery you have incorporated into your portrait is amazing. It shows what is going on inside of you.  The way you have incorporated all this different imagery helps in representing yourself to us.

Art needs to have discomfort within itself. That uncomfortable place is what we need to learn. We need to make whatever is in our minds and see the change or see it in other ways. Its what comes from that uncomfortable place that helps us change or changes the work. It's a great place to discover something new. In Kathy's class we talked about how “play” can help in that uncomfortable place. This is where an artist’s work can change, you might want to thinking about that within your work.

Sometimes we have to step outside of what makes us comfortable and find new ways to make art. The use of cardboard is a great project.  Your students, from the way you talked about them in this post, would probably, love to do a unit on cardboard artists. I have seen some of the most amazing artwork come from cardboard. I have a question for you Ashley. Would you use this experience and make this project in your own classroom? Here is a website of five artists working with cardboard. This might help if you wanted to integrate this into your lesson with your students.
