This week has been the busiest so far in terms of homework. Midterms are stressful! I really enjoyed our class trip to Siena to see the "System Error" show. The work we saw there was really inspiring and it related to a lot of things people in our class are doing, if not in concept, in media. Saturday I attempted to go to Volterra but that failed because of the weekend bus schedule. I went to Pietrasanta and saw some of the contemporary art galleries instead, but by 1pm everthing closed so I went back to Florence. I guess it wasn't meant to be!
For my midterm project I am working from a model of a spiral I created (see photo link). It seems to be more inspiring than the pasta and candle that I also bought to work from. My project is a series of watercolors depicting the spiral form in different ways. I reshape it for each composition. My goal/struggle for this project is not making the spiral appear too two dimensional. Thus far, I feel that some of my pieces accomplish this better than others. I am looking forward to going to Greece for the first time next week over spring break! Good luck to everyone on midterms. Allison
