Amazing start...

And then we got sick, both me and my dauhgter...! Hopefully I can start next monday,healthy as a horse, with intressting stuff to show you!!

Soon....

very soon I will start my second year at Gotlands Konstskola..!!

Stone continous..

 Raw material for me to transform into.... WHAT??

Well it became something completly diffrent from what I planned, wich comes as no surprise to me =) !

Personally I don´t think this picture does the piece any justice. Which off course means I have to learn to use a camera...

Stoned!!

We have started our two weeks of stone carving, and I am liking it =) !!

Details!

Making fun of the masters..?

Not making fun of, but playing with! I had this piece of wood over from a previous project, and then when we cut off the end of a worthog tooth, it looked "exactly" like a very famous painting...

In progress!

 I wanted to make something really big =) !
What I am trying to do is capture this past year in one piece and also move forward into my next projekt. Humble? Me? hahahaha

 Painted the back side black and frowned so much my friends told me -" You don´t like that colour do you?" Correct!
I REALLY don´t like black!!

 And off we go =) !

Wrought iron!

 Unexpectedly I love the heat from the little oven =) !

 Hmmm, what will it become....

 Beautiful fire! So much fun working with iron!

Getting closer to the final product! Can anyone guess what it is going to be??

Screen!

 On canvas and on really cool paper I found in a little store nearby our school! Proud member of the-no-longer-take-life-so-serious-club!

 Some of what I managed to print during the Screen period. I think I made six or seven T-shirts for Anders, not all of them pink ...

 Me working at the screen table. Once I got the hang of it I found out I LOVE SCREEN!! And I have so many ideas of what I want to do!!

 This is the text printed on Anders´s T-shirts...

Mammaografi and Never tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon.

More Etching...

 Ballerina shoes for Saga who very much would like to dance ballet, and become a ballerina! She wanted them to be pink, and this is how close I got without actually painting them pink!

 Personally this is  my favourite!!

 Butterfly! Of course: Parnassius Apollo, forma dilatata. The red dots on the wings is to be filld in when I find the right kind of red, or rather learn to blend it myself...

 This is my entry to the competion " Kulinariska Gotland" in wich I came second...

Sometimes you just have to play a bit and have fun with it!!

I´m back =)

It´s been a while haha a very long while, and now it´s easter! First thing we did after X-mas holiday was Etching, and after that was Screen print. Both were extremly fun, with enthusiastic teachers encouraging us to explore and have fun with it! I did a lot of printing and here are some examples of what I did.
More will come later, now it´s time to play in the snow!

As you can see,I REALLY like the etching =) !

End of semester!

This is the movie that Ivanja, Catharina, Sonja and I did! We are very proud of it and hope you enjoy it!

Sound...

...of silence! Yesterday we had a workshop at school with our amazing teacher Rebeca Neuman. When the tecnique started working we had a really great time, and I think we all amased ourselfs with 3 very diffrent sound pieces!! But today, as the heading says, I will enjoy the sound of silence as much as I can =) !!
Take care, Wictoria

AWESOME!!

This is the best documentary I have seen in a LONG time! And not only did we get to see the movie, we also spent the whole day with Michel Wenzer who made the movie, we got to ask questions and discuss it with him! I must say it´s been a very emotional day! In a positive way I must ad. Thank you dear school of art, this was a real treat!!

Busy busy BUSY times!

We are working now on the last couple of projects for the semester, audio and animation.Today I finally understood the computer programs for editing sound and animation, wich means I might even be ready in time with both my sound piece AND the short story we are working on as a group project!Wish me luck though... Included in the work load( but not in the school-time )was the yearly Christmas fair, wich has taken a lot of energy time away from for example my blog! But soon it will be hollidays for us, and then I shall take the time to up date you all of the work I have done! Take care,Wictoria

Sagas art!

My beautiful daughter is also a great artist allready! I love this painting that she did six months ago,and wanted to share it with you all!

Clay tower.

´This week is Photoshop week and I think that I finally learned a little bit of what we should have learned =)!
This tower I made many weeks ago, and it was so much fun!! I really want to more of that fantasy stuff with clay!! Maybe I will by some and play around with at Christmas break?!

Painting with oil...part 3

At the end of the week I realised I still hadn´t done my self portait...and so I went back to my station and played around a bit with coulors.... This is now a piece I will use in my up comming exibition!!

Of course I still had to make that selfportrait but since I don´t like the image of me, I chickened out by making it abstract.... But I promised my self that every year I will do a new self portrait, so who knows?? Someday it might even look like me?!!

Painting with oil...part 2

 First ever!!! Hahahahaha says it all...

This one I really like! Much better =)

And this is the third one, and what can I say? This is darn good actually, and I am very proud of what I can accomplish when doing something so very far out of my comfort zone!!

Painting with oil...

 Still life... But I don´t paint stuff    !!! Only feelings and coulor as you can see =)   !!

Hmm

Well, now it started to be fun =) , only problem , teacher didn´t see any trees near by, so technically this is not a still life.... hahahahaha!
