Finished: Illustration project

I'm so glad my box is finished!

I'm fairly pleased at how it turned out. If you need a recap on what it's all about, scroll down and read my second post. It will explain everything.

In the background, I made a couple ''chests'' out of flat pieces of wood that I painted/stained. I placed bronze, silver, and gold ''nuggets'' in the background to suggest the types of crafts that Bezalel worked with. The only pitfall is that the Holy Spirit is supposed to look like it just came through the window, and I'm not sure if that point gets across... but oh well!

Here are some other views of it. Comments would be greatly appreciated! :)

Intro to Blog 101

Welcome to the land of artistic reveries, my new blog about art and art-related things! (I know, so specific!)

The establishment of this blog is partly for school-related purposes. aka, I've been assigned to do it for my Illustration class. I say partly because I intend to take it beyond just class assignments. It will be my place for sharing my art, my ideas, and what I'm learning. To anyone who is saying, ''Why would I want to read about art?'', I have this to say: you don't have to know a lot about art to love it. HOWEVER... the more you know, the more you love it... I promise!

This year, I've been more engrossed in art than I ever have been, and that includes art history and art studio classes. Right now I'm taking Illustration for Publication, History of Non-Western Art, and History of Western Art II. Honestly, I can't get enough of these classes. I love all of them.

If you're wondering why anyone would blog about art, well, I think people learn by sharing. So if nothing else, then being able to write about what I'm learning will help me learn what I like, what I understand, what I don't understand, and what I hope to understand. And the plus side is, anyone who reads this can comment and give me feedback... who knows, you might even learn something as well!

Art encompasses a large portion of my life at the moment, so in summary, the heart of this blog is... life!
