Personally did not 100% love Carrisa's portfolio. I wish she showed more examples of what she did. I guess I just personally don't love the more "corporate" aspects of graphic design. Prof Biju's presentation on frogs was really interesting though! The photography was really crisp and detailed.

1. Nara Yoshitomo: brought up by a classmate from the first book assignment. I love how his characters convey such beautiful emotions even though they have simple designs.

2. Olafur Eliasson: love his installation work! Especially the sunset light one ... it all makes me think about my art on a larger scale.

3. Joe Fig: the detail on the miniature sculptures is incredible! Reminds me of the Thorne Miniature Rooms I saw at the Art Institute of Chicago. The patience needed to sculpt and work at such a small scale ...

4. Alex Da Corte: probably the favorite artist we've learned about this semester. Every sculpture and video was absolutely inthralling. I love the strangeness behind it all and I love all the bold colors used.

5. Rose Simpson: her art is not what I would normally gravitate towards, but after watching the video in class, I felt like I really understood her sculptures a lot better. They are definitely memorable as I still remember seeing the piece of two people leaning against one another at the ICA.

I think I learned so much this semester -- about artists, my classmates, my own art ...

This class pushed me to try different things like actively collaborating with my classmates on the light project (which was so incredible hard at first, but also so rewarding afterwards) and finally stretching my own canvas.

I really got to know my classmates on a deeper level and staying and working with people in Devlin was so much fun. Watching people create art and listening to their thought process behind what they were creating was so insightful.

I'm also so glad we talked about such a wide variety of artists because I think it's so easy for us students to box art and thus ourselves into very traditional and predefined definitions of what art is. There is so much out there that is "art" and there truly is a space for it all.

The nightly sketches was also very therapeutic for me as I ended up just using it kind of like a diary. I wrote so freely about what I drew in there and I like how casual it was.

I also always thought I would most enjoy an art class that would let me do whatever I wanted, but every single assignment has taught me new things and pushed me to greater bounds. The final project was just free enough that everything I'd learned leading up to it genuinely helped and felt "worth it". (I'm also so glad to have made "art friends" and gotten to know some people from the Hatchery!)
