July 1st
Frankly, being stuck in Fayetteville with a delivery job 5 days a week is pretty boring. I'd much prefer to be at Greensboro where theres more to do and freedom to do whatever. I do miss the studio and I miss my dorm room (even if it is twice as small). Anyways, its Hilarie Burtons birthday. So Happy birthday!!! =] Wish you the best.

Blogging in Moderation
So this week i'm working on getting a scanner or finding one to upload my drawings/renderings. This year has been an interesting one. The all nighters and all day-ers have tremendously done a work on my body. I am so thankfully to be able to finally sleep and not worry about Opus' and sketch models. I am going to continue to work on interior architecture work. I'd like to practice my renderings with marker and hopefully get better at it. I am currently trying to find a job. Some options are Starbucks, Quizno's, Lowes, and some other fantastic places. Anyways. Goodnight world.

Coming Full Circle
Community
For the past two semesters I have met people that exceed my expectations of class. I've met the down to earth, organic, perfectionist that brings life to art. I've watched an energetic teenager transform from a confused soul to a social butterfly that entertains and works beyond possibilities. I've admired the free spirited, beautiful, and sometimes quirky, adult that rises to the occasion when troubled waters surround her. Surprisingly, thats just a hand full of the amazing people I have had the pleasure to meet. Thankfully, this is the community of the iARC first year that slaves themselves on their work night and day.
Stewardship
I believe that stewardship is being considerate and kind to others around us in a community. Although our opinions, beliefs, and idea's are completely different, being courteous to should be a goal that us students should strive for.
Authenticity
To be authentic is to be unique and genuine. I previously went to a third year critique and listened to the professor and he suggested that the ideas and conversations a group of students have is authentic because it is a fusion of self into a giant idea. The third years had to create not ten designs, not five designs, but one. Of a group of 28 their individualities bedazzled the client with their accumulation of suggestions into a super concept. I believe that, that is authentic; to be unique and genuine.
Innovation
Our studies in this major is unlike any other major. It forces us to use our god given minds and problem solve. Unlike mathematics, everything is sporadic, energetic, and vivid. Mathematics to me, is linear and solid. There is no outer boundaries to break and there is always a right answer. Innovation in art is the future. It enables us to think and create outstanding and beautiful new items.

Action Verbs
speculate - A speculation is in other words an accusation; to claim to know something without hard evidence. In science, to speculate, is to hypothesis. Architects speculate in order to find truth in artwork, architecture, and the needs and wants of the human. Coming towards the middle of the twentieth century, architects are speculating that modern architecture is not meeting proper needs. For example, the Guggenheim caused a shakeup in the history because Frank Lloyd Wright is not creating architecture for the human's need, but for decoration.
compose - To compose a piece of art, architecture, or anything creative, we must know exactly what we want. We must know where to put a door in a room, a office space in a building, and a skyscraper in a city. We compose everyday by imagining what's the best place to organize and create a flow of things. Musician's compose music to show their talents and the beauty of hearing. In Suzanne's drawing class we had to compose a 18x24 piece of either Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater or Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Although, the majority of the class decided on Fallingwater, I sincerely adored the landscape and the mood the Monticello gave off. In artwork, to compose means to have a meaning for things. Suzanne's goal was to give the feeling we experienced in either of the two. I decided to watercolor the background of Monticello purple due to its energetic and royal feel.
energize - In the beginning of the year we learned about how to energize lines and make them more vivid. We practiced by doing multiple blind contours which I found to be exciting because the end product had more "energy" than normal. As I walked around studio I found multiple portraits of (I'm assuming Stoel) in energized form. The lines were not straight, they were not flowing, but they were staggered and rigid and intentional. I found those pencil drawings to feel more lifelike. In designing interiors we have been exploring color to energize rooms. The most common is the color red. The color red energizes a room because of its boldness and at times vibrant color.
shape - In Environmental Design, we were chewed out because of our lack of sketch models for our current project - 2 Room Interior Design. The teachers were disappointed not only in the lack of sketch models but also in ideas. We, as a class, had hard times designing because we were "trapped in the box". The constraints and limitations held us back from being original and creative. Suzanne showed us a presentation where many architects have broke limitations and created outstanding buildings. They were vibrant, energetic, and integrated the wall in ways no ones ever dreamed of.
stretch - As we stretch to our bodies grow weak from countless projects, we're learning to adapt and keep going for the next two weeks. Stretch a form means to hyperextend an object past limitations. Elastic bands, are capable of withstanding many curves and extensions due to its stretchiness.
