Today on Ray Street

Well today as I was walking on Ray Street in North Park, San Diego. Ray street is basically the place you would go to if you wanted to see some really cool art. There are art studios all over the place with interesting for sale and for observing. Anyways, I was stopped by a photographer who said that he was in a contest to see if who could use all of the contents of a little cup in one photo. In the cup was six ballons, a package of Wriggles Spearmint gum and some small micro foam stickers. He had me put some of the ballons onto the ends of my fingers and pilled up the rest of the things into the palm of my hand. After he did that he put his big backpack on the ground and pulled out a huge "professional looking" camera. Then he started taking pictures from almost every position there is. He said that it was really important that he did this and that it was really cool for me to help him out. I thought that it was a pretty cool thing that I thought that I should share with you! Having this happen to me today really made me think of ways that I can put some more pazazz into my art to make it stand out.

Art in Class

For the art project in class we have a "Art Journal" that we have to draw in everyday so that then we can show it of at the end of the semester. One of the things that I like to draw is Architecture and cars. Today I started drawing a picture of a big cross on a platform with green grass around. My teacher gave me an idea for what I could do for the drawing. Instead of coloring everything in I could just leave the cross blank white and draw the sky as black as possible to make it pop. I think that it was a great idea because that would show of the center piece of the picture which is the big cross.
Im glad that we are doing this in class because this really helps me practice for alot of the things that that I might want to do in the future with painting.

Van Goghs paintings

For the art project that we are doing in class I strarted looking websites for the person who im doing; who is Vincent Van Gogh. I found this great website talking about new contempory artist but also talks about old fashion artist from all over the world. I think that this would be a great website if you were trying to find a lot of information on an artist.

This is one of the most famous paintings that Van Gogh created. This painting is in the New York Museum of art. If you want to know more about this painting about Van Gogh of any other artist, go to this website:
