Are you interested in art? Do you lack all qualifications? Do you fear taking any responsibility in life whatsoever and would rather sit and stare off into space for hours and hours pondering existence? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be a perfect fit to be a nude model!
You don't need a college degree, a high school degree, or any education at all! As long as you can:

This was a messy project. I started off with oil paints and ended on a sewing machine. Thursday, I made the decision to switch my project to a fashion project, as the last one was going supremely poorly. It was a lot of work switching to a barely started project with only three days left.
I would like to start by saying I have never made an article of clothing before, and starting with lace as my fabric choice was not the best idea. For never having done this, I think I did pretty well, and I certainly learned a lot! I learned to darn and hem, but I also learned how to manipulate the fabric and shape it by cutting and stitching certain parts. This shirt represents dysphoria and how it affects me. I feel wide open, the lace symbolizing how I'm uncovered and vulnerable. The black, matte fabric is my shield, covering my chest and my scars. There are supposed to be thin chains lining the neck, but they didn't ship in time. That would have symbolized me being chained down by my own expectations/ideas of what I should be. The underpainting! I know it doesn't look good, but bear with me, it's not done yet. I do not know where to advance to after the underpainting, as I've never gotten that far, so I will be asking my teacher this week.
Oh no, Big bad. God awful. Many regrets. I will ask my art teacher how to fix this next class because this did not work out. I suppose you have to try in order to learn, right?
As mentioned in my last post, I've been considering doing all of my own interpretations of the tarot cards. And so, here we are. Me, some oil paints, a metric heck tonne of 4" x 4" canvases, and you, here to watch it unfold. I love tarot and have done some card interpretations before, mostly in watercolour. I also did the big one of 'death' earlier this summer. |
