Because nothing stays the same over time, I am pondering the changes in work pace, work, and art making. I am going to be even further involved with the Vet Art Project in Chicago. I'm both excited and a little apprehensive because I want to be nothing less than excellent for the project. I have only been involved with the project for 9 months, but they have been awesome! I'm looking to start up a blog for the Vet Art Project Chicago, but I am not sure what should it include.
My collage panel project is off to a decent start, but I have reached a mild impasse, and I am not sure if I want to have themes for each side of the panels, or if I should continue with the same, paste-as-I-go-work ethic/aesthetic.
Work has been a small logistic and paperwork fiasco. There have been so much paperwork which I am trying to make sure I have for every student enrolled in my after school art class. I am also trying to have a timely field trip to the National Museum of Mexican Art , but my class is growing by leaps an bounds, which places a crimp in the paperwork I have to submit for the school. I am excited though for the idea that there will be a while lot of "papel picado" to display at the school for the Day of the Dead Altar.
Lastly, I would like to have a painting in honor of SSG Bryan Anderson, an Iraq War Veteran who was injured, and whose story was widely followed by the media. He has been an emblem of courage and inspiration to many people, and I know this is not a role which he really sought so much as it was thrust on him. I would go so far as to say that he is a personal hero of mine. I would like to do more than a portrait... but at the same time I would be showering attention where none is really needed.
