Arm's artshare post
mural idea
It would be interesting to see this in the english/history wing, to see how this could flow throughout the walls.

I like the flow of this piece, and how the basic shapes come together to create one large one.

Tea Bag Painting
This is a video of a woman painting a picture using tea. It is a really cool technique and she uses the tea bag as her paintbrush and the tea as the paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA98rKxjBls
Mural Ideas
I'm not sure where to put the actual mural but ideas have been thrown about being in the English/History hallway. These are just two ideas which I thought were interesting. We don't have to use these exactly but the idea is cool. The color blocking for the tiger which we can always change to a different animal or the black background with a contrasting color on top.

Gabby's artshare video
I really enjoyed walking through the gallery and seeing the large painting on the first floor that was really colorful there was something about it that was really appealing in the way that it had all of the colors and managed to be not be at all murky. Its size made it feel like it was enveloping you and pieces like that are really the ones that I connect with more. I enjoyed the paintings with less planned strokes that seemed more raw and untouched which is something I hope to show in some of my artwork.
...ill send you mural stuff later

Ideas for the 2016 mural:
I agree with Natalia that a wrap around mural in the english wing would look really cool, it would be a way to open up the hallway and it would definitely attract people's attention as it would be the only color in the hallway. I think something scenic would be really nice to make the hallway seem a little less enclosing for future students. It would also be nice to have a mural with many similar pieces so that each student in our year could write their name or a small message like the 2014 collage. For example, if we had a tree in the mural each person could put their names on a leaf.Here are a few ideas that might be nice, maybe not on this level but on a simpler scale.
This is a piece from the Rose Art Gallery at Brandeis University. I could not find the artist, but I think this is my favorite art piece from the whole gallery, the colors and the way they are mixed together give the entire work a texture that reminds me of satin or faux fur. I really enjoyed the field trip and and the mix of viewing finished art in the Rose gallery and seeing art in the works in the making room.

Natalia's artshare post
Dear Ms. Hom,
I am sorry to be contacting you so late and with all of this craziness, but here are the three Artshare posts that I have intended to make! The first one is a reflection on the field trip, a second one some mural ideas inspired by Italy, and the last one my trip to the MFA. Enjoy and thank you for all of your help!
Cheers,
Natalia

When we went to Brandeis on our art field trip, I surprised myself with my fascination for the 3D printing and online modeling. To see the creation of virtual worlds using programs like Google Sketch-Up and Blender brought back ideas that I have had and thought that I would never find a medium to achieve them in. In the field of fine arts at the Rose Gallery, there was even more to get inspired by. My favorite piece is included below, as it demonstrates a mastery of creating foreground and background in painting. I hope to develop this technique- of painting in and out of focus, as well as this artist did!

Some Mural Ideas:
Hello everyone! After Sophia and Leah's amazing work on the current mural, it seems like it would be cool to follow in their footsteps by making a mural ourselves! Here are some ideas that I have had (inspired from art seen elsewhere):
The first idea is a ceiling mural to bring height and light to a hallway. I'm a fan of nature, so I thought that painting a canopy in the style of the picture below could turn out awesome!
Next, a mural along the wall that resembles this scene not only reminds people of a summer beach, but it also would make the site of its location appear much bigger as a result of the perspective.
Let's keep having this discussion!

TO ALL ART GEEKS: TAKE NOTE! The MFA has two amazing exhibits right now! The first one is a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit (featuring some Michelangelo). These are all sketches of the works of the two classic artists, comparing and contrasting their styles. It also has the "most beautiful woman in the world," a nickname given to one of the drawings in the exhibit. Another exhibit, which illustrates the work of the prolific and celebrated Japanese artist Hokusai, includes the entire collection of 36 prints that bring Hokusai his fame. This group of works is called Views of Mount Fuji, and in it the most famous piece of Japanese artwork in the Western World- The Great Wave. Make sure to go check it out next time you're in Boston!
