I am very pleased with most of my prints and how they turned out. I experimented with the technique <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chine-coll%C3%A9">chine-collé.</a><br />
My subject matter was hunting and the texture of fur. <br />

These are only a few pictures of the final prints. For my printing paper I used two different shades of Rivers BFK paper, one in an off white cream and another in a dark natural brown. For a few of the editions, I used a Japanese rice-paper, kitakata. This paper is very thin and has sort of a pink flesh tone to it. For four other editions of the print, I used pages from a Yellow Pages. The pages used were numbers and advertisements for meat businesses; one of my favorites, "STEAKS UNLIMITED" (which is no closed).Lauren T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18348657988610262223noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457159793914321790.post-25056723049860830862010-12-16T10:50:00.000-08:002010-12-16T10:50:06.519-08:00Tis the Season!I got the cutest Holiday cards a few days ago.<br />

</a></div>Hello hello! It has been too long sense I've last written on this thing. I guess I will fill you guys in on whats been going on the last month or two...<br />
<br />
I have started working with a theme in a few of my classes, basically it's<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>HUNTING AND BABES</b></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVNFHkEVwI/AAAAAAAAAm8/HoSX9isXAJg/s1600/SEPT08_ARCHERY1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVNFHkEVwI/AAAAAAAAAm8/HoSX9isXAJg/s320/SEPT08_ARCHERY1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> .....or the more politically correct title; The culture of women and hunting.<br />
I started by looking into hunting culture in Africa, which mainly consists of higher-class Caucasian couples looking for a good sport. Hunting is no longer about survival, it's for fun and a good way to shoot the shit when your bored.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVFib2JR9I/AAAAAAAAAmY/qNsmBjK-2GU/s1600/african+hunt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVFib2JR9I/AAAAAAAAAmY/qNsmBjK-2GU/s320/african+hunt.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">TEAMWORK</td></tr>
</tbody></table><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;"><em></em></span><br />
<br />
Then I went back to my ole' roots in Tennessee. I guess it is bias for me to say hunting in the south is for rednecks...but I think that statement is 80% accurate. A lot of hunting in the south is greatly based on family tradition.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> "My great grand papi went huntin', my grand papi went huntin', and dad went huntin', so I sure as hell am going huntin' too."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It based down from generation to generation and is used as a method o bonding; usually between father and son. So it was very strange to me when I saw pictures of a father and his wife/daughter hunting side by side. Why is it so weird to see a little girl or woman hold a gun?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVKFiI4lpI/AAAAAAAAAmg/N9zxfoj7uQs/s1600/guns-girl-arthurshalldc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVKFiI4lpI/AAAAAAAAAmg/N9zxfoj7uQs/s320/guns-girl-arthurshalldc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVJ-7WK4qI/AAAAAAAAAmc/CxpIJzWh9jg/s1600/Women+Sheep+Hunters-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TPVJ-7WK4qI/AAAAAAAAAmc/CxpIJzWh9jg/s400/Women+Sheep+Hunters-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I started looking at artwork by Walton Ford and James Audubon. <br />
Ford is a contemporary artist who creates large scale watercolor paintings or animals. His style resembles Audubon's classical 19th century painterly hand. Ford depicts animals in a very scientifically and formal way, using text in the corner to resemble notes and a journal entry. However, the actions of the animals and context are very grotesque and brutal. There are mainly paintings of sexual dominance between animals. The theme of bondage and old colonial traps are painted too. Many of Ford's paintings are in a sense critiques of Audubon's paintings.<br />
Audubon was a notorious explorer and painter known for his naturalist paintings of birds and animals. However, Audubon killed more animals then he painted while on his escapades of the Western world. So to some extent, they are faked and posed images of animals that were more then likely shot by Audubon.<br />

So for my final project this is my area of focus. I am working from these pictures of hanging dead animals after they have been hunted. I want to the hanging animals to represent a clothes line or charms on a charm bracelet.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my Core Studio Class, we are learning about buildings, structures and systems. For our first project we have to use wood in some way and also create "texture" with our piece. I have never worked with wood before; I mean I might have help my dad fix the fence a few time when I was a little kid but that's it! I did most of the sanding by hand, because I was too scared I would sand my skin off with the electric sander. I should learn to be more adventurous right? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Either way, I am really happy at how smooth this turned out. The carving didn't take too long either. All I have to do now is stain the wood surrounding the nest (the carved out circle).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had a little inspiration for this piece....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I haven't decided on what colors to use. I like this black/blue color. But I also like the idea of a deep maroon or purple. Something kind of warm to contrast with the off-white paper. This print reminds me of the graphic novel/film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persepolis_%28film%29">Persepolis</a>.<br />
I will start printing tomorrow.<br />

About an hour ago, my mom called to informed me that the French senate passed a ban in which women are not allowed to wear a full burqa in public. Although this ban will only affect less than 2,000 women, it is still a touchy matter. It only seems like it was yesterday I myself was in France. While I was there, I do not particularly remember seeing any women in burqas. I am interested to see how the general public will react to this.<br />

There are no requirements as to what goes on this piece of wood. What I like about this class is it's all about the process and not necessarily your concentration. I am going to learn different techniques, and try out different forms of printmaking I haven't been exposed too. <br />
My class is a little intimidating though, being the only freshman and what not...I like it so far though.<br />

The point is to learn how to collect and gather information over a certain period of time; and to also see what we learn as artist.<br />
A few were going to document the food they ate daily, others collect packs of gum and what not.<br />
I settled on the idea of "Le Journal du Mal" or translated, "The Journal of Hurt (or bad)."<br />
I am going to keep track of the pain my body feels, both mentally and physically. I am only two days into the project, but I am having a lot of fun with it. It is making me realize how I do not take care of my body like I should.<br />
The mental aspect of "my hurt" will certainly develop as time goes on. I am interested to see if this journal takes a different turn in direction..<br />

</u></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>First Step</b></span>: Pick out your colors and dye. I used <a href="http://www.ritdye.com/home.lasso">Rit Dye</a> Golden Yellow, Purple, and Scarlet Red.<br />
Feel free to mix them! Always refer to your <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.dickblick.com/items/049/51/04951-0000-front3ww-l.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dickblick.com/products/artists-color-wheel/&usg=__Pzlp7Fz1m2oYWEqgSH5lO8xyl6k=&h=600&w=572&sz=87&hl=en&start=51&sig2=7XW0L5zGl5C5NBAHTNZ7UA&tbnid=lg_MTE7FYdh0XM:&tbnh=167&tbnw=159&ei=ecBhTJrJEMO78gbK_ZyUCQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcolor%2Bwheel%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3D4mw%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1570%26bih%3D713%26tbs%3Disch:1,isz:m0%2C1108&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=325&oei=b8BhTOq6L4T48AaFwvD5CA&esq=undefined&page=3&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:51&tx=109&ty=51&biw=1570&bih=713">color wheel</a> (thank you Mrs. Profitt)<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Second Step</b></span>: Find something to dye. In this case, I dyed new white T-shirts. However, you can dye a piece of clothing you already have. It doesn't have to be a shirt either. It can be a jacket, a cloth bag, your underwear...etc.<br />
Make sure the material of whatever you choose to dye won't be destroyed during the process. Also, keep in mind of the color. For example, if you are dying something black to green, you might have to bleach it before you dye it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG-eEpaQhI/AAAAAAAAAdM/bwA4_exdDrw/s1600/Photo+on+2010-08-10+at+13.06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG-eEpaQhI/AAAAAAAAAdM/bwA4_exdDrw/s320/Photo+on+2010-08-10+at+13.06.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Third Step</b></span>: Add hot water to a big pan and add in the dye and shirts. Wait 15 to 30 minutes. I always wait a good solid 30 minutes just to make sure the color wont fade out when I do the final wash. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG775asNXI/AAAAAAAAAcE/TScoCwkSB_w/s1600/DSCN3043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG775asNXI/AAAAAAAAAcE/TScoCwkSB_w/s320/DSCN3043.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fourth Step</b></span>: Make sure you are constantly stirring during the 30 minutes. This helps to distribute the color evenly onto the material. You also want to periodically check and make sure your material is the color you want it to be. When the 30 minutes are up, take that t-shirt out and run it under some cold water!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG-26bIN3I/AAAAAAAAAdk/smix6RGhOZw/s1600/Photo+on+2010-08-10+at+13.14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K55k8gtK9ZM/TGG-26bIN3I/AAAAAAAAAdk/smix6RGhOZw/s320/Photo+on+2010-08-10+at+13.14.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fifth Step</b></span>: After washing the shirts in cold water, wash them with a mid detergent in the washing machine. What that's done, hang them to dry!<br />

If you do not have access to a stove, the Rit Dye includes directions on how to dye your clothing by using your washing machine. I never risk doing that knowing I might permanently stain my mama's washing machine. <br />
All in all it takes about an hour to do and it's fairly cheap too. One powder packet of Rit Dye is $1.66 at Walmart, and a Liquid container of Rite Dye is $2.78 also at Walmart (more bang for your buck).<br />
<br />
A HUGE Thank you to Mr. Joey Scala for getting everything I used! I will let you all know when the shirts are done, until then....<br />

They will be returning August 16th I believe. While they are gone, I'm going to be gettin' down'n dirty with some silk screening. <br />
I've began to plan out what the t-shirt designs, and this is what I have come up with so far<br />
