First Finished Oil Painting
This semester in "Exploring Media" we rendered a model study in oil. I've really only used acrylic and watercolor in the past, so I'm ecstatic to have a new medium to play with.
History of Illustration
A recent assignment encouraged us to explore past illustrators. We learned more about illustration's golden age and various artists from the 1890s to the 1960s. Our assignment was to replicate the style of four different illustrators, from four different decades, using traditional media.
1920's Clara Bow in the style of Bradshaw Crandall - pastels 5"x7"
1910's Gloria Swanson, in the style of Coles Phillips - Acrylic 5"x7"
1930's Katharine Hepburn in Eric's style - Watercolor 5"x7"
1950s Dorothy Dandridge in the style of Earl Oliver Hurst- Watercolor & Ink 5"x7"

My piece for this exhbiit is titled "Bankruptcy"
"We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt." In the last fifty years, Americans of different races, genders, and ages have continued to demand their freedoms. The funds are growing and more checks are clearing, yet the richness and security of equality seems interminable.
