#2 Hair Accessories

So, basically I dumped out my box of hair stuff on the floor and arranged it! Result: sad, worried old woman. I'm noticing an old-person theme?

#1: Electrical Cords

I see an old man in a wheelchair smoking a pipe. Hopefully you can see something similar. Oh, and he reminds me of the creepy creatures in Ursula's cave in The Little Mermaid.

Intro

This blog is intended to be centered around art. I want to challenge myself to daily create something and post it here. Maybe I'll do a new daily challenge every month? I make the rules around here, so yeah. Sounds good. =)

This first month, until the end of January, every day i'm going create a piece using unconventional materials. No pencil or paint or graphite or ink. This is kind of an extension of what I started with my final project (kind of an oxymoronic idea--to begin with something final...) in my Life Drawing class, which involved arranging leaves to form a figure...or rather the negative space around and the dark shadows of a figure. The project itself was inspired by some of the works of Vik Muniz . That project was really read as being environmental art, since it was not permanent, but mostly because it was created out of leaves-- nature. What I want to explore is not really environmental art, but the transitory nature of what using non-traditional mediums will entail, as well as the obvious and forced creativity of using these mediums. I hated ripping all those leaves off their plants...
