Jane Philipps

Florence is over and I can't quite believe it. I was a complete slacker on the blog during this half of the semester (sorry Jana!), but most of the time in the end was spent preparing for the final critique and show. The show went really well and it was great to see everyone's work in a space. Not only did the individual pieces look good, but the arrangement of the show in the space also worked very well! I took pictures of some people's work, but only included the photos that turned out ok (the lighting made it kind of tricky).

For my own project, I ended up combining my final for sketchbook and studio because a lot of the stuff I was interested in drawing in sketchbook related to the work I had been doing with the Fibonacci sequence. I made a flag book using natural colored paper and the same rice paper I used in my mid-term books for the flags. The transparent quality of the paper allowed me to make comparisons between my drawings and I also added cut-outs. I don't have pictures of the back yet, but I included some of the mathematical formulas used in the Fibonacci sequence to mix it up a little.

Finally, thank you Jana and Julia for a great semester! I am glad to say that I feel completely prepared to go into my major next year (Printmaking!) and work independently. Though I had a hard time with a lot of my work this semester, I am at a good place with it now and am excited for what will happen in the next two years!
