Jordon Beck

I may have separated the envelope from the work yesterday :.( Let me know who you are so I can match up the reply!

Amanda Acheson

I love the users manual you included! We use to make those by the hours when we were kids!
I love, love, love the quotes!

"He who throws dirt is loosing ground" Confucius?

"Do not mistake temptation with opportunity" (You would love May West's thoughts on that! ;.)

"It takes more than a good memory to have good memories"
(So true! Although, Positive Psychology studies have shown it helps tremendously.)

"If you want the rainbow, you must put up with the rain."

"It doesn't matter! Who is without flaw?"

"Love asks me no questions, and gives me endless support" -Shakespeare

"A cynic is only a frustrated optimist"
(or a paranoid schizophrenic ;.)

"A woman who seeks to be equal with me lacks ambition :.)"
( I feel like that everyday!)

Christina-

I laughed so hard when I got this! I have a tad bit ( British understatement) cheese addiction! I cut all these off my pizza boxes.

I will start getting replies out this week to you!

2 of you with still no name??? Can someone in class mention that the flower barrette and photograph still are not claimed?
Please put your name on the piece as, the package & piece can get separated.



Art & Misc. (Kevin)

Kevin - this is the piece I was talking about! I did this in one of Tom Askman's ( Drawing 400) classes- he hates "drip" paintings traditionally but this went beyond that. It's very layered and the use of color is very similar to what your doing. :.)
The colors are piled onto each other. Where I placed a cool color on a hot color- it forces the space forward. Where I put a hot color onto a cool color, the space recedes. The opacity and transparency (which you also used) are alternated in such a way the painting "ripples".
To get that transparent look with coffee filters, put them in oil, then let them dry before using. ;.)


HW Help

Anyone need or want some help? Reply here.

New Quarter!!! And Update!

Heylas-

I can see this quarter is going to be amazingly fun! I can't wait to get images uploaded! I have a piece from last quarter to mail out & a piece to finish ( Ghazal's). No, I didn't forget ;.) so I will warn you, it might take a bit to respond to some of you! But you will get responses.
Last Quarter's classes, you will notice I kept a list of whose work I got. That's so you know I got it and Roger can get your grade in. Like last quarter, some of you forgot to put names on the work!!!! :.~ So a few of you will need to email me and let me know whose work belongs to whom.
Also, last quarter I found myself answering some Art & Humanities Questions. If any of you get stuck or need help with a class, feel free to ask. I can answer HW questions in just about any subject except, Algebra! For that use YouTube!
As Roger might have pointed out - I am degreed up the yang after 15 years at EWU! Its a ridiculous thing but it's true! I have degrees in both Art & Art History, with a few degrees to spare. So I will open a post for all of you to ask questions. If you just want to discuss the finer points of art or philosophy- that's great too!
I will also post some pictures of what I have been working on as, I am thinking about doing another exhibit this year.
Lastly, I opened this up to students from last quarter too- if you want to keep doing the mail art project, we can keep that going indefinitely with several other artists!
I will start to get your work posted up today! :.)..

Cheers,

Holly
