realistic looking. I also love the thoughtfulness when it comes to using color, and the negative space which is incorporated into nearly all of her work. I would love to incorporate some of these things into my art and use her work as inspiration for me to think about how I am using color and negative space in my art.

I really love how Adam uses a composition that you may be used to or feel comfortable with (for example, below you see some examples which at their base, look very similar to some traditional portraits or narrative paintings) and then changes or adds some element that surprises you and make the painting much more interesting. I especially like the painting that include a lot of texture, or those that mix textures and styles of painting. I would love to start painting a bit more and I think that incorporating multiple textures is something that I would love to do. Link:
Artist Website On November 15th we went on a walking field trip to many different galleries in Richmond, but my favorite gallery was probably the Reynolds Gallery. Here they had some artwork by Nancy Blum which I thought was really cool. I really liked the scale of her work and I think that I may want to experiment with scale as I continue to work. Even though some of her art was very big, the detail that she uses is incredible. There are tons of layers of detail within her work that make it so incredible, and much of the detail you can't see unless you get really close. This was always something that I had been interesting in trying out, but now that I saw her work, I think that I will definitely find some way to incorporate small and intricate details in some of my work because I think that it is such an interesting effect. Along with loving Nancy Blum's work, I also really liked how this gallery was set up. Below is some more are from the Reynolds Gallery which I enjoyed. The fact that it was in a house made it really interesting to me and some of the ways that different pieces of art were displayed inspired me to think about the different ways that I can display my own art.
I really enjoyed these articles and thought that this is a very interesting and important topic within art that we should discuss. One thing that I though was very interesting was how exhibits were created with both the past and present in mind.
There are a few things that I wonder about conflict in the future and how depictions of either conflict or war will develop in art and what will change in how we think about war. Below I have included a few questions that I have about how our perception of violence and suffering will change in the future...
This is an interesting video that talks about more recent events that happened in Ukraine and how artists and curators reacted to these events and reflected on the present as well as on Ukraine's history. I think that this example pulls together quite a few different elements from the two different articles and allows you to see how an exhibit could be created and why with more modern context. I have been sick over the past few weeks and missed a few in class studio days and feel a bit behind. I have everything planned out and have started creating the final layer of my paper mache. I have also started working on the armatures for the three hanging parts that makeup my piece. I am thinking that if I end up not having enough time for all three, I will be able to cut down on the number of pieces that I use. I may end up cutting down on that number even if I have enough time for more depending on how the composition looks when all three of them are finished. I am excited for this piece because although it has many of the same elements of my other pieces, it also gives me the chance to explore other ways of displaying and thinking about my art.
