Art School Confidential

Hello all! Today was another arduous artistic journey resulting in more fatigue than I feel is necessary for a girl of my age. I'm feeling weary and slightly dehydrated. Maybe I should exercise sometime (?). This is my last week of portfolio prep at the Corcoran, and I am diligently working in order to have some decent finished projects for my final exhibition on Friday, which takes place at 6:00 for those of you who know me or are related to me. Everyone else who reads this blog, (TONS of people, btw) stay away from my art show. Security does not mess around, ye be warned. Here's a sneak peek. This is my repetition project featuring the infinitely cool David Bowie:


Today in my photography class, we experimented with pinhole photography, which is one of the primitive forms of photography, but also one of the hardest to master. It is also an extremely tedious process in D.C.'s oppressive summer heat. It involves a carrying around an empty paint can transformed into a light-tight camera which elicits a lot of suspicious looks from police and pedestrians, one negative, and multiple trips back and forth to the darkroom. Anyway, my camera was malfunctioning and so most of my images came out indistinguishable. My teacher mistook this as deliberately obscure and artistic which was nice. That was today. Tomorrow we're going to the cinema realism exhibit at the Hirshhorn, which I am very excited for.
