English Final Project


So, for my Honors English class, we're allowed to do pretty much anything for our final project that incorporates what we've learned. We read a lot of classics (Odyssey, Metamorphoses, Agamemnon, Aeneid, Lais de Marie, ect.) and so I'm doing a three-panel art piece of Clytemnestra from Aeschylus'  Oresteia. My original plan was to go "man, woman, and king." The above is the woman piece, ie: she acts like a man, she is a king, but she's still a woman. I'm trying to develop the other two better, so I've been getting some ideas. Here they are:


Tamara de Lempicka

Another Tamara de Lempicka

Gustav Klimt

John Singer Sargent

Gustav Klimt

The second panel is in the style of Tamara de Lempicka and the third hopefully will be Gustav Klimt. That depends a bit on if I can get my paints from home. I just have watercolors and colored pencil here now. The Tamara-style thing is in colored pencil.

So. A recent project.


This is a progression of a thing I started at the beginning of the summer, the night after I bought the Of Monsters And Men CD. I haven't finished; I stopped after about four days, haha. I'll finish at some point, maybe. Update: I remember why I stopped. I messed up on the face of the main lady, and I didn't have andy gouache or anything, so I tried white out. DON'T EVER. No. That was bad. I don't know how to fix it. Maybe I'll scrape the white-out off and gouache over? Idk....

Updating things

I know I haven't posted much, but I'm planning to take to AP Studio Art exam this May, so I'll be taking a lot of photos of art. I'll post it up here. I've finished most of the unfinished projects on here- the pointe shoes and lilacs, the two girls at the piano, the camera. It'll be up soon.

My newest project...

I was thinking that lilacs and pointe shoes (the peachy ones) would make a pretty combo. Peach and lilac... Maybe I can do it again in the summer with legit peaches. Do you think roses would be pretty? The light pink ones? That's probably overkill. Maybe just do a flowery-fruity-pretty-splosion and get it all out of the system. hmm...
