Final

It has been quite an adventure for me this semester. I feel like we can be open on here. In the beginning of the semester I had to make a sudden move back to my hometown, San Antonio, for my grandmother. She had been diagnosed with Alzhimers about 8 years ago, and she was doing well for a majority of that time. She is I. The later stages where we don't know how long it will be until it's her time. My family is the ones who is caring for her so I sought the need to come down. With that my two pieces were made to represent my time here thus far. This first one being a simple, yet not so simple, render of my room. I loved the render that Margery Wheelock did and was inspired to try a new theme in my drawings. This was more in my comfort zone but at the same time not. I grew so impatient as I drew the entire room. I could not get anything right in perspective. By the end of it I grew so frustrated. It made me think a lot of my grandmother. She's so sweet and loving. A simple woman with a pure heart. But the disease is a frustrating process for us and her.

The second piece is more out of my comfort zone. A little 3-D attempt with a twist. For as much as I was inspired by John Cedarquist. Oh man I really wish I could've done a piece of furniture. But this was my second best. I wanted to to aim for the 2-D wanting to be 3-D. But my thought process behind this piece is the idea of freedom. There are times where I feel trapped and the only thing that gets me through is seeing that light at the end of the tunnel. I yearn for it and fight my way through to get to it. And though it is difficult there is an end to whatever it may be holding you back.
