(Brown polymer clay, colored pencils, acrylic paint)Let's talk about crossing over in art. (why? just cause it's my blog and I wanna)
So, when you talk about something "crossing over" in a cultural kind of way, you expect the thing being made to be infused with something you recognize being from a different culture/background/country but still appeal to your overall understanding of what said object is and what it is for.
Like a singer who crosses over a new culture and finds that the message resonates here too, Like Shakira, Ricky Martin, etc. None of them I am proud of, very pop for my taste, but still, they managed something unheard of, to take their message to a new world, like Spanish conquistadors in the new world, and being successful at it.
And I am now applying this crossing over idea to art too. I am beginning to cross over from painting to the tiniest and shiest attempt of sculpture,to use painting techniques in 3D objects, and being an Architect major, it seems right, I usually paint with my mind on 3D mode, it feels right, I feel comfortable managing not only x and y but also "Z"
So from now on, in this website you might see 3D pieces here and there, I am excited of exploring them, I am also researching a lot about sulpture because (um, don't tell anyone, cause I haven't really told anyone) I will start teaching a Children's History of Sculpture class in the fall to a group of homeschoolers, and I am so excited by that project! So many doors can open here. There are also plans for later teaching a "History of Architecture" and "History of Painting" but we'll see how this first one goes.
