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 9th

Took a field trip to NODA today to go visit a site in a renovated warehouse/office omplex now. Will had painted an incredibly large mural on the floor of the building. I was impressed by the scale of the piece. I can only imagine how much planning had to go into something like that. I hope he didn't undercut himself on the price of it all. Althought I did not find his particular style appealing it was still interesting. Like he stated, "My painting are normally not something you find on a wall in home." and he is right. I would not find it in my home. I think my favorite piece about his large floor mural was the jazz musicians. I love when images of music are incorporated into art. The two go hand in hand for me...especially in design. The rythmic degress of existence are beautiful. Especially if composed right.
