This week in class, we worked on finding a way to turn our ideas into something that could work as a finished piece. I am having trouble thinking of the best way to do this, and I have to do some more experimenting. I did, however, decide upon a central idea. I am going to focus on the idea of spirals and being inside a spiral. The idea is how when you are inside a spiral, everything swirls around you but you are anchored.
This morning I went to La Specola and took photographs of the shells there. They have such an interesting collection, and I think the spiralling shells are going to be really helpful with my concept. I am going to try to do three larger watercolors depicting my idea in an abstract form.
This past week was quite busy for me as I needed to get my work done in advance so I could enjoy Carnevale in Venice over the weekend. My favorite thing in Venice was seeing the Picasso show at Palazzo Grassi. They also had a lot of "Post Pop" art, including several works by Jeff Koons, which I really enjoyed seeing. I am looking forward to going to Ferrara this weekend to see a show featuring Klimt, Gaughin, and Da Moreau. A presto, Allison
