fishy turned into an eye! e.0

Here we go! This one I personally believe shows my true understanding of surrealism. I drew this several months ago and have always loved it. The fish on the hook I transformed into an eye, still fitting criteria but feeding my hunger for satisfaction.

I spy...the obvious eye.

This is my eye project finito.

The assignment was to create a surrealist-ic piece incorporating the eye. I think I am going to create a second work, considering this doesn't really fit me for this project. Doesn't seem to scream that there is a hidden or even an eye in this.

Oh well. I do compliment myself for the woman's outline, I have always fancied the artisticness of it.

Surrealism...ain't it dandy??

Surrealism is my favorite art movement. i first learned of it in the eighth grade, sitting in a book store reading about art. I hit a book titled "Surrealism" and this book has been by my night stand ever since that day. In it I saw works by numerous surrealists, including the infamous Dali.

The definition of surrealism is one I will give from notes my art teacher gave me the other week.

Surrealism is a 20th Century movement in art, with Andre Bretton as the main speaker of this period. DaDa influence on surrealism is big, basically creating un-conformity in the art world. "Rational thought brought on the bad state of the world, which in turn created surrealism."

Sigmund Froyd was a psychoanalyst, who did a couple studies on this time...especially since some of the artwork produced was a little "out there."

This era of artwork let names such as Dali and Picasso become infamous. The Exquisite Corpse became famous from then, a game perhaps you have heard when you do one thing and pass it along, basically layers piling up to create a work of art.

Another way to sum up Surrealism is "re-uniting the conscience and un-conscience."

My Pot.

Just a quick little thingy to keep my class time full.

Explanation.

When I was at my Grandmother's shop, she asked me what I wanted to have embroidered on my blanket. I told her zz...0109...zz. Well, many people ask me what that even is, besides a bunch of random things.

Since I named my blog this, I figure I would shed some light and understanding on that.

My Papa died in January of '09. That is where the 0109 part comes from.

It helps me when I go to bed thinking that's what Papa did, he just went to sleep. (hint, hint: the "zz".)

He went to sleep January 2009.

Unfortunately, though, he isn't waking up.

Perspective. Oh, joy.

Perspective is...as Ms. Soto said, a little left brained. It's so darn technical; probably the one thing in art I cannot stand. But, as I was complaining and what not blah blah blah, Ms. Soto shed some light onto the assignment and brought up the fact that there is a way I can put a touch of myself into the one project I couldn't stand. There are fish in the sky, people!!!

comic book is finito.

Let me just say, I have a bad time making up stories that need to be funny in even the least bit. I am not a funny person, as in I don't make my own jokes. I make funny moments, but not jokes or funny stories. Therefor, it goes without saying that this was the hardest assignment for me so far.

Doodle! I luuurve doodling ya'll..

I love doodling...been doing since I was a lil' one. The background in this here picture is a big piece of paper completely filled with quotes and passages from lewis Carrol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The top is just random doodles in my mind. There is actually a space where it says "I love Joan Jett", brought to me with a recent fascination in her and the Blackheart's music.

thanks ms.soto for this awesome assignment!
