Challenge #2 – Portrait of a Friend
Friday August 5th, 7 – 9 pm
In this challenge each of the 24 artists have been teamed up with a friend in the group and asked to create a self portrait each other, which displays their personality and are challenged to share/expose characteristics of their friend in their artwork.
For this challenge I was partnered with gnome maker – Naomi Brinkoff. The first thing I noticed about Naomi was her larger than life smile! So, that’s exactly what I did, I painted her smile at a size of 24 inches by 48 inches. I then overlapped all the writing from her blog with a phototransfer. Looks way better in real life! Go and see it before August 12th! Nom’s and I have decided to switch art pieces, can’t wait to hang my portrait on the wall! Visit Naomi’s blog at http://www.nomshomestudio.blogspot.com/

As the world knows by now, I love abandoned buildings! I downloaded a really cool app on my iphone that I tried out with this photograph; it’s called ‘Photosynth’ – and it’s completely free! I highly recommend it. You are able to make panoramic photos so easily, and just email them to yourself when you’re done! It stitches all the photos for you, and even tells you when to take the next picture! This photo was taken near French River in Ontario, and is a 360 of a little building off to the side of an abandoned hotel.
Enjoy!
I will be entering the B.I.G art show this Friday June 24th, 2011. It will be held at the Bohemian Cafe & Gallery in Bracebridge for a full week. Below are the items I will be submitting in the show, they look much better up close and personal. Check out the Gallery!! www.bohemiancafeandgallery.com
Yesterday we did a performance in the Human Development course at York University, which is apart of the BEd program. My friend Tyler and I partnered up for this performance which was to represent an ‘at promise’ student. I chose to represent a low level student in an HSP program, where Tyler chose to represent a gifted student. Both students we felt were not having their needs met in their educational growth.
As you may have already noticed from previous blog posts, I am a little addicted to pop ups! This week in the Arts Integration course we learned some new awesome Pop Up skills. I was able to teach these techniques to the grade 7 & 8′s at my current placement. So much fun, and so magical.
This week we created rod puppets using Crayola’s Model Magic. This was one of my favorite projects yet! I’m excited to create puppets during my teaching placement. This is a fabulous way of integrating literacy into any subject.
Exploring the arts is always fun in the Arts Integration course at York University. This week we made triarama’s, which is like a diorama, but with only 3 sides. I wanted to use this activity for my geography lesson, but wasn’t able to due to time constraints! I hope to use this art activity in the future.
