Artist on the Rise : Lauren Gregg

Lauren Gregg, 15, is a rising student from Douglas Byrd High School. She's currently taking art classes to develop her talent. Although she sees no future with art, I would highly influence her otherwise. I say this because her ability to convey realistic and idealistic environments, characters, and designs is unbelievable for a young teenager. Her colors are fluid and mixed together properly. And her flair she incorporates is fused with a sense of gothic and fantasy. Her work is stunning and is certainly a force to be reckoned with. You'll be seeing more work from this young lady.

I was recently doing "extra work" on One Tree Hill and ran across a blog - Southern Gothic Productions - that dealt with Hilarie Burton, a former member of the star cast of One Tree Hill, and her new production line. This blog is filled with witty posts and information pertaining to upcoming events and productions. For example, they are in the process of filming a movie titled "Pedestrian", which stars special guest, Austin Nichols. Find more information at

{P} Words

Periphery
A Periphery is the perimeter of a specific area. For example, the periphery of UNCG’s campus could be the outer lining railroad. The railroad rides along the edge of the campus and it separates it from the city and the school. Knowing the periphery of a certain site helps the designer adapt to the surroundings and bring it into the design.

Portfolio
A Portfolio is an artist’s best friend. When I say “artist” I mean anyone with a passion for designing art in many forms. Portfolios contain valuable work from the artist that shows off his or her greatest pieces. They help the client understand the artist more and what he/she is capable of doing. In Interior Architecture at UNCG, we all must complete and turn in a portfolio to show our progress. Portfolios are great items to share to others because it’s work that means a lot to the artist.

Process
Since elementary school we’ve learned step-by-step instructions to create papers, stories, even mathematic equations. The step-by-step instructions that we learn are really called processes. These processes are guides to an end product. In our program we show our process through the models and designs that lead up to the final. We show our rough drafts, sketch models, ideas, and sometimes-outrageous notions that are unrealistic. In our process models we show our intentions with a space.








Perspective
Perspectives are different ways of looking at things. For example, if you were to draw a building, it would show perspective if a scaled figure was added. The scaled figure shows the dimensions of the building without actual measurements. Perspectives show different views of an identical building to show the differences in sides.






Professional
To be professional is to be well presentable and have good conduct in a specific profession. Being professional means to grow up from being a child. Period. It means to be well groomed, on time, prepared, and be mindful of anything that may come. Being professional means to be good at your craft, to be willing to cooperate, and to be understanding to new opportunities.

Precedent Analysis - Burj Al Arab

Since the Eiffel Tower was taken out of the category I wanted to find a skyscraper that stood out from the crowd. I found the Burj Al Arab and was completely stunned by it's intricate and beautiful design. It uses unimaginable curves and shows the luxury of Dubai. Burj Al Arab is an elegant hotel that screams for attention.
