My SI was about trying to defeat the creative block. There was a lot of experimentation and revision that was involved and I tried to mix my love of printmaking and collage together. I hope I continue to keep exploring this concept because every time I made something, I felt like I got closer and closer to knowing my own personal style of art-making.

Each of the floral arrangements are symbolic of a C-Section scar as the flowers were each cut at precisely 4.5 inches long.

This length is roughly the size of my own (emergency) C-Section scar.

Emotional scars are still a major theme in this work as there are stitches present in the composition. However, my son was given the chance to explore line work in this piece to give his “hand” more of a presence in this composition.

Dawn

6-word memoir: Gardening inside, outside It is home.

Inquiry: I am interested in exploring the “comforts of home” and how they define us and connect us with each other.

What are the “comforts of home”? How do we construct our identities and idea of home through these things? How does home leave the house and guide us elsewhere? How can we maintain that sense of comfort outside the home?

July 19 Rework of Inquiry

Inquiry: I will create works of art that will embody the passing of time. This can be variations of age, deterioration, growth, and many other possibilities.

Research:

Inquiry: 6 Words: Cameras capture time stories past future.

My SI is about the stories in my urban/suburban neighborhood? Question of Gentrification? Nostalgia? Honoring the history of the people and place?

Mountain View Cemetery-where Lowe, Woodbury are buried.

Altadena was opened as a subdivision in late 1887 by John and Fred Woodbury from Marshalltown, Iowa. The Woodburys envisioned a millionaires' rural suburb north of busy Pasadena, hoping to add to the wealthy class already gathering here, including Col. Charles Greene and Andrew McNally.

Mexican immigrant workers on Mt. Lowe during the Pacific Electric era were the subject of Stacy Camp’s dissertation, Materializing Inequality, the Archaeology of Citizenship and Race in the Early 20th century of LA

Garden Sustaining Flavor Extending Time Future Inquiry: How has preservation helped humanity to make current lifestyles achievable and how could it help in the future? Will it only be food or could we preserve other things in a more efficient way that could go so far as to extend life.

In this inquiry there will be exploration of decay as well as inquiry into how those things could one day be kept “fresh”

Day 1: Day of travel

Day 3: The Crankie Moving panorama animating story of travel delays.

Day 2: What to do while waiting (in an airport) Day 4: Partner Exchange Art Time. And motherhood. Seem to go hand in hand. We long for sleep deprived nights to end. We wait to see who our children will become as they change day to day, year by year. Then, we wait for them call…

As we watch our children grow, time takes on a whole new perception. We can measure the passing of time in a way we could not before.

PAIGE

And life now is so much more worth it. Enjoy your son…

6 words: Plant collection in progress Pandemic Edition Plants are healing. When the pandemic started I began working from home sitting in one place for extended periods at a time. As I looked repeatedly at my personal space and I began to think of how my personal space and felt that I needed it to make me feel comforting & safe. I started buying and caring for plants. Through trial and error, I learned to care for them and now I feel they can take care of me. The pandemic has provided me with the opportunity to think about waste and repurposing materials. How can I make art while being mindful on materiality and sustainability.

Inquiry: How do plants help heal people? What evidence exist of the relationship between plants and humans?

James, slide 6: make a map

In case the drawings need a little more clarification: 1. Start with a bang 2. Hit the ground running (ist painting, overhead w/tortoise) 3. Hit a wall 4. More measured steps 5. Conversation with Sandra (I should have referenced the works that came from it, but I was running out of time) 6. What’s next?

Goals for final painting: ● Subjects: James, Gail, Liam, Ewan, Piper (dog) ● Setting options: In/outdoors ○ Inside: Eating dinner/playing cards, watching tv on couch ○ Outside: Around fire pit, field with frisbee ● One limitation of the traditional bird’s eye paintings is that they all feature people who are standing up- so all we see of most of the people are heads & shoulders. If I have people sit down, that doesn’t follow that usual setting.

Day 4 I carefully documented the healing and new growth of the sago palms. I had these two images and made them into a composite. I’ve always loved the idea of double exposures but with the twist of the two images clearly being from two different times.

First image is all the branches being a pale yellow and the second is of the new leafs growing after the dead ones have been cleared away.

I manipulated the tonal scale for the image to a sharper contrast and positioned the images so the dead branches pull the eye down while the green leaves push them back up.

My inquiry changed drastically over the week but I ended up focusing on Halloween and why I gravitate to it so much. I explored lighting, mood, and aesthetics through photography. This led to storytelling, history, research on aspects of fear as well as experimentation in a variety of drawing media and photography.

My SI is to demonstrate the exploration of my personal journey with Fibromyalgia through visual journaling, drawing exercises, and writing prompts as a way to help myself and others going through this invisible chronic illness.

Kristina My SI was inspired from the “proof of” activity & 6 word memoir which led to the idea of (my) association of food with experiences and memories.

1- Proof of my tea habit.

2- Drawing of a memory from my honeymoon and the food we ate there (Chinese gardens & tea house); drawn on a pouch of tea.

3- Sketch of my grandmother and baked items that are family recipes from her. Digitally combined with recipes are written in her hand writing, my mother’s, and mine. Recipes show evidence of years of ingredients built up on the surface of the card, reinforces idea of memory and connection of family.
