smack: Reverie
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/reverie.html
Tuesday, 27 October 2009. Glue, paper and image, edited and computer generated. I have been dying to participate in Inspire Me Thursday again for months, but simply haven't gotten around to it. Life is hectic, as usual. But this week - today in fact - I finally found use for the image of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière that was posted as the week's prompt. So that's exactly what I did. I downloaded the image of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière from the link on flickr provided within the IMT prompt, then c...

smack: Defunct!
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2011/01/defunct.html
Sunday, 16 January 2011. This is the end. I'm no longer updating this page, it's been over a year since I last posted and my creativity (visual arts, at least) levels are at like 1.75% post-school. I feel like I've had the life sucked out of me. I still appreciate art, and maybe one day I'll get back into it. But now when I try I just can't manage to concentrate long enough to work. So this is good bye, and thank you if you've ever commented or followed or enjoyed this blog. I no longer exist here.

smack: April 2009
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 April 2009. Inspire Me Thursday's prompt this week is. Is a photograph I took, and a few thoughts. Why is it that after society has witnessed 2 World Wars and thousands of other harrowing battles - in rapid succession, too - that we still push for bloodshed when our nations dispute. Is it. Viewed as being romantic? Or is it still just the idea of asserting one's power? Post subjects: anzac day. Tuesday, 21 April 2009. Visit the Art Castle blog: http:/ artcastle.wordpress.com/. On Monday we d...

smack: June 2009
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 19 June 2009. Ink and pen in VAPD. I'm really loving working with ink and pen lately. I've also rediscovered my passion for graphite drawings. This first ink drawing was an impulsive drawing and I think it was influenced by those face mugs you see around. Revolting things they are. 2B, 4B and 8B graphite in VAPD. The world seems a little better since I got my muse back :). Thursday, 18 June 2009. I used to draw like mad - almost obsessively - as a child. Pens were my main tool, and paper....While...

smack: Giraffes for Mum
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/08/giraffes-for-mum.html
Saturday, 15 August 2009. Linocut print, approx 30 x 30 cm. It's been a long time since I've had a chance to post, or even been inspired to. I finally was able to print a lino block I had crafted for my mum, who's favourite animals are giraffes. It turned out relatively well. Personally, I'm not fond of depicting animals as an artistic subject. But mum seems to like it, which is all that matters. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I no longer exist here.

smack: July 2009
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 7 July 2009. Compressed black charcoal, white charcoal, 2B, 4B and 8B graphite on paper). I made this for my body of work on the human body - hahaha, a play on words - at school. I have a couple more to do yet. But this is the first completed one. I'll be mounting it on black card. I've cropped this image digitally to what I want it to like like, but I'll have to cut it in real life. Monday, 6 July 2009. Anyway, I simply enquired as to whether there was anything she'd like me to picture in it...

smack: Cheek to Cheek
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/07/cheek-to-cheek.html
Monday, 6 July 2009. When I began to design my next lino print, I decided I would ask my mother if she wanted me to make something for her. I've never painted or drawn or created anything for anyone other than myself before, as artmaking to me has always seemed something personal and exclusive - very much an expression of self. So it truly is an odd phenomenon to be making art for someone else. The quick sketch, before it was transferred. The actual lino square, complete with carving haha :). Oh, what a ...

smack: Old Bird
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/old-bird.html
Sunday, 4 October 2009. Old Bird" - brush and ink, and pen and ink on paper. This afternoon I felt compelled to bring to life a sketch that lay in wait in my art journal. This Old Bird is very much inspired by an even older IMT prompt from around July - "Owl". I actually contributed a photograph of an owl ring for IMT that week, and this quick sketch never saw the light of day again. Until this afternoon that is. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

smack: Twisted Sisters
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/08/twisted-sisters.html
Saturday, 15 August 2009. 2B, 4B, and 8B graphite; compressed black charcoal, and white charcoal drawing on paper. The body of work I have created for my art class. I am yet to receive a mark. The concept behind these drawings are self-image, how one presents themselves, and how other people can distort that image. This is not in any way related to body image. 17 August 2009 at 12:35 pm. Fantastic , expressive drawings Sarah- really speak to the core- love them! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

smack: In The Works...
http://illy-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/in-works.html
Sunday, 4 October 2009. I know I haven't contributed anything in forever, so I thought I'd give an update. Basically, I've just finished year 11 and commence year 12 at the beginning of the next school term. It's kind of scary, but kind of an accomplishment at the same time. especially considering all the preliminary year exams I had to complete before the end of this term. Phew. But now with a two week holiday, I have time to work on some art projects which is just fantastic! I'm really enjoying working...
