Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

Class Commentary- April 23rd

Today, those of us who had completed t he project showed them to the class. I still do not understand why students find it so hard to turn an assignment in on time. I understand that you have a lot going on. I understand that you are stressed, but who cares. Everyone is stressed and everyone has a lot going on. Ok on to my commentary on the critques and comments. Ray always creates a quality piece. Having gotten to know here through classes and conversation I know that she puts a lot of thought into her work and it is extremely evident. Her latests piece really reminded e of Robert Morris' piece "Site". Both figures wore masks. Both were mobile. And to the ordinary audiencewho didnt understand anything really, both were confusing. Like what the hell is going on? What the hell am I watching? But I understood. It was static, demoral, there was a sense that the figure was moking the audience. I find t his piece that she created interesting. She and I were having a conversation the other day about not existing. Like being homeless. To me this piece resembles this. I also think that with her burning the money there is this weird connection like, person robs a bank to steal money, gets locked up, ends up in jail, and essentially ends up stealing yoour tax money anyway.
