2/14/2018 1 Comment February UpdateThis month I did many new things. I developed a new skill and learned how to embroider. In class we watched a short video about the artist Faith Ringgold who made a book based on her embroidery and she also made a huge embroidered tapestry that represented her life as a child. It was very intricate and inspiring. Then we went on to learn and try it ourselves. We learned the running stitch and blanket stitch and more. First i did a simple trial run using a hoop, needle and embroidery floss to try out all the stitches and get used to it. Then I made my interpretation on an Ugly doll using a simple stitch to sew on the eyes and mouth. Then I took a risk this mouth too because we did a van gogh inspired painting and i don't usually do painting like this, but it turned out really well and i really enjoyed doing it so i think that i should consider widening my artistic range.
