Ophelia Drowned in the Water

china markers are my fave in comparison to charcoal.

Here are some pages from my sketchbook <3

My grandmother gave me a set of Prismacolor colored pencils as well as a set of Prismacolor art sticks both of which were made in 1986, but they still work like a charm and are handy when thinking up ideas that require color! :)

hehe i like my butterfly ;)

art defined

I've been doing research for my upcoming final paper on the relevance of art education in today's society, and I came across this book in my school's library, it's so interesting to read about studies done on artists, why people become artists, what is considered art, what defines an artist, etc...

I really recommend reading this book, i can't stop reading it myself, I am finding so many interesting quotes from this text:

"Just as art is a social-historical construction, so is the artist."

"In terms of personality, they found that the image of the artist is socially withdrawn, introspective, independent, imaginative, unpredictable, and alienated from community expectations is not far off the mark."

"Individuals with deep capacities for feeling or keen sensitivities to the details of experience and the subtleties of interpersonal interactions, enter alternative paths, which are defined as art."

I especially like the last quote :)

I've been indulging in food and art lately, here are some of my favorites:

as spring approaches, i am loving everything bright and full of rainbows :)

I just want Mexican food! like never before!
but i have nobody to go with or any money. I'm so hungry for tacos!!!!
I hate not having friends to eat food with or go shopping or just go for walks.
