Portfolio Proposal
April 14, 2009
Purpose/Objective:. For this project proposal, I want to continue to create paintings that resemble splatter or even rain. The last painting I did I cut out the butcher paper behind it because it had traces of where I splattered paint onto my canvas. I really like this because it reminds me of kindergarten where coloring outside of the lines was fun and second nature.
Project description:. This project can be described as splatter painting or painting outside the lines. I think I’m going to have fun as well as make a few intriguing pieces of work
Materials/sizes:
• Materials:
o 4 strips of cavas
o Ink
o Paint
o Pastels- oil & chalk
Timeline: Two weeks, unless I am slow ( which will happen inevitably) realistically 3 and a half weeks.

The grade that I think I deserve for the work that I created during this last proposal is an A. I worked really hard on trying to not only create pieces that were aesthetically pleasing but also to broaden my strengths in painting. I think that I learned a lot about my painting strengths as well as weaknesses.
I tried to paint different landscapes in my paintings, when normally I would just paint a person in a floating background. I think that trying to go outside of the box with my painting abilities has been really successful because it lead to more understanding of depth and backgrounds in pictures.
My first painting had a theme of angels, and I tried to keep that theme throughout my next painting as well, of a woman in the middle of a forest, and then slowly progressed into making my third painting of a tree and a sunset/sunrise in the background. My last and final painting was also natural, with rain represented with paint slaps and drips.
Overall, I think that trying something different helped me come up with more ideas about my initial proposal. I feel most successful with my third painting (in the series of 4) because it had a foreground and a background, something I have struggled with achieving ever since my first painting.

• Black and white photography
• Portraying the essence of the person depicting
• Lighting on faces is used as a manipulated tool
• Lighting creates curves and angles
• Other media is used including sculptures, shadow boxes, etc
When I first came to the museum, I primarily was looking for an artist who was a graphic designer or painter. When I came across the work of George Krause, I was completely blown away from his vision and creations. The piece that stood out the most to me was named the “death mask”. This photograph was clearly executed and thought out, and had a very distinct three-dimensional quality to it.
After I came home from the museum, I decided to Google George Krause to see a full display of his work. I was surprised when I found he was also into sculptures, some of which have inspired me for my current proposals. He tried to portray catholic sculptures that would normally be seen in a church, but he put his own spin to them. I found both his photography and works in other media’s to be inspiring.

Portfolio Proposal 1

Portfolio Proposal
January
Purpose/Objective: For my project I plan to follow the honors project. I find that the project to be fascinating because I enjoy projects that deal with layers and are complex in appearance. I will go further then I would as an honors student doing this project because I have learned to work at a quicker pace in order to complete the project to my own standards.
Project description: By going through my own memory of past experiences and current mindsets, I dug deep to find out how I became the person I am today through remembering the values I was brought up with. Through completing this project I not only want to make an artifact that serves as a type of memory book, but I also want to discover the foundations of the person I became today.
Materials/sizes:
• Materials:
o Felt material (7 pieces)
o Ink
o Paint
o Pastels- oil & chalk
• Sizes:
L x W = 2 feet by 8 inches
Each page in book will be a different size according to proportion to it’s importance to the objective.
