Artwork Refinement

This week I have focused on utilizing the feedback given to me from jurying. The results indicated that the housings of my project needed considerable work in order to be elevated to exhibition quality. As such, I have taken steps to refine my pieces, some of which have included adding additional layers of black paint over the previous paintings, since I was not able to sand away the pre-existing paintings. I have also taken the time to produce thought out sketches of the paintings' layout to make the painting process easier and more fun.

Preparing for Exhibition

In the weeks following the college's shutdown due to COVID-19, I have mostly worked towards organizing my materials for the construction of exhibition-worthy artworks. I refined both my video projects that will accompany the physical housings and worked to refine the acrylic painting portions of the artwork. However, after receiving my jurying results, it is clear that further refinement is necessary to elevate these pieces to exhibition quality. 

Timeline until Jurying Re-Review:
Saturday, April 4th: submit sketches of formatting for largest housing to Dawn Roe for advising
Sunday, April 5th: begin work on painting layout of large housing after receiving approval on the initial sketches
Monday, April 6th: check-in call with Dawn Roe to confirm procedures for refinement on reworked pieces, begin refining smaller pieces
Friday, April 10th: continue to work on all housings
Saturday, April 11th: finish all refinements necessary (refine palette, refine alignment and preciseness of the paintings' lines, sand down black paint)
Sunday, April 12th: check-in call with Dawn Roe and/or other CFAC faculty members to confirm the quality of the work
