In class we watched a video about by the Guerilla Girls about the art exhibit they did about complaining. They had people come in and write down a complaint about anything, the world, their lives etc. Then put it on a board. In class we did something very similar, we all wrote down 5 complaints we had about anything in general and posted them on a board. It increased our global awareness in the world because we saw all the other complaints other people and it really opened my eyes about what was going on in the world. Then we took it a step further and made a piece that corresponds with our complaint. My complaint I did was how clothes and jeans for women never actually fit women. I created a piece expressing my complaint by a women holding out her jeans that are far too big. Next we started to work on our pen and ink skills. We developed the skill of using ink and pen to create a piece based on another video we watched in class. The video “challenged” our class to make a piece showing something we never seen in our lives and probably never will, using ink. I made a picture of parallel universes because that is something i've yet to see and i know i will not ever see it. I took a risk with this project because i didn’t think about it i just went for it. I just drew it, painted it and turned it in and it ended up looking pretty good. Afterward both were done we critiqued each other's work and collaborated with a partner to make adjustments and give suggestion on what each other could add or change. This was helpful because i got to see someone else's point of view on my artwork so i could make it better.
