Lettering - Sabrina Haas

Gallery visit 1: A Passport to Paris, at the Denver Art Museum. I really loved this exhibit, and it was awesome to see the amazing art that has been created in the past. My favourite art piece on display was Monet’s Waterlilies. I love everything about this painting, especially his attention to detail and use of shades and highlights.

Gallery Visit 2: Jefferson County Art Exhibit 2014. This exhibit was very impressive and very inspirational. Many pieces caught my interest, but one of my favourites was Leah Gray’s Silence. This was an emotional photography piece, and it stood out to me because I never really thought that photography could be made into art with dimension. She did a very good job capturing the emotions and it was overall well rounded. (no photo)

 

Gallery Visit 3: The Art Show at Starfest. The art show at Starfest was really awesome! Artists sold everything from jewelry to computer art. All of it was super impressive, and I was inspired to create by most of the pieces. I used to work with jewelry when I was little, and seeing the beautiful pieces that these artists made inspired me to start again. (no photo)

Young Artists Art Piece: Haboring A Heavy Heart

 

Blythe Crowe

Gallery visit 1: Went to Rise Up Gallery in Wynwood. I thought Bisco Smith's artwork was visually inspiring. A few pieces from his series "Studies in Elevation" caught my eye. I loved how he took an abstract approach to his pieces, but still captured emotion in every piece. By looking at his work I want to use my own abstract techniques to better capture the message in the art.

Gallery Visit 2: Went to Wyn 317 in Wynwood. I found Atomiko's work to be very unique. By using recycled street signs, he created a more urban look. After seeing this I will start to use creative materials to build my own canvas, and have my work stand out from the rest.

Gallery Visit 3: Went to Privee Gallery in Wynwood. Walter Girotto's piece "Distant" was captivating. I loved the different values, and how the woman almost looks transparent. I think I will start to blend my portraits with the background to make the painting draw more attention.

2015

Gallery Visit #1: Arvada center - Annual Jeffco schools foundation high school art exhibit. Erin Dalton's piece titled "Come Together" caught my eye. The contrast between the hands and the background gives each element emphasis. I'd like to start adding designs in the backgrounds of my pieces to provide texture and emphasis.

Gallery visit #2: Pomona Young Masters exhibit. This piece by Thea Whelan interested me. i enjoyed the concept of the heart seeking safety. From this piece I'd like to use the contrast of black & whites to color in my pieces.

Gallery visit #3: Low Creek tattoo studio. Matty Lockhart's paintings are made from watercolor and oils. his style is loose but bold. These pieces inspired me to attempt a similar style, but with printmaking instead.

Gallery visit 1:
Young Master's Art Exhibit 2013
The Piece that stood out to me strongly at the Young masters was Logan Davidson's Catcher in the Rye. This mixed media piece depicting two Bison near a sharp cliff face. The layering in it works to tell the story from the book. The actual inclusion of pages from the book as the background is my favorite effect as it shows that there is a deeper meaning than only what we see.

Gallery visit 2:

MOMA NY
My favorite piece from the adventure to NY was Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth. Although there were several amazing and fantastical pieces, the piece that brought me to tears was Christina. This has been one of it not my favorite painting of all time, and seeing it in person brought on an immensely powerful surge of emotion which gave me a good reminder of why I do art.

Gallery visit 3:
Jefferson County Art Exhibit 2014

The Piece that stood out to me the most at the Jeffco show was a piece done by a very good friend of mine, who I haven't gotten to see for a while. Natalie Stepaniak's Words Of Value captivated me with it's use of hundreds of words and phrases to literally draw a picture for the viewer of her loving relationship.
It also sticks out to me not just in it's unique technique, but because I am very proud of the love and emotion she was willing to share with the viewers
