Well today I have been messing about with wire for my drawing option. I have attempted to do a head, looks abit freaky. It is based on my own head using a touch only drawing style which I transferred to paper and then, used it as a basis for the wire sculpture. I took a series of pictures, and have also been messing about on photoshop. I will try and upload the pictures.
I have also got to do a transcription drawing of an old work of art. a series of sketchs and can also use wire or digital media. The art can be a painting or sculpture, I had thought about looking at the Velazquez, Rokeby venus or Titan’s Flora. I have seen both of these for real and they are two of my favorite paintings. So I’ll keep you posted.
Well success at the uploading.
I am 45, and currently working fulltime as an advanced nurse practitioner. what is this you ask? It basically means I work like a doctor but i am a nurse, i have been a nurse for nearly 30 years. got degree and master’s degree in specialised nursing. so you’d think I would be sick of studying! Well no! Having got to the top of my game in my current work, I thought I would do something that I had always loved, which is Art. Art was the only Olevel I left school with, so now here I am, mid life crisis i think, other people who have midlife crisis go and buy a motorbike or get a tattoo or something but I’ve already done that! so Now i must be nuts to combine more studying with working fulltime, well its nothing new. Always done it that way. like to keep busy, do things, be challenged and stimulated.
Its strange that after 20 – 30 years I decided to take up art again, it is almost as if it was always meant to be. So we’ll have to see how i do. this is all for now, will keep you posted. Bye everyone.
