Wood, paint, ink, paper mache boxes

The idea for this piece stemmed from bee's honeycombs and the function of a beehive. On my map their are three levels and each represents the social class system similar to that of a beehive.

Statement

I wanted to map a person's insecurities. I wanted to map a person who looks like they have everything together, but are really just as messed up and unsure of themselves as everyone else. I wanted it to looked graphic and organic at the same time. I wanted the front to look sleek and put together, and everything behind it to look messy and disorderly; the paper's peeling, the wood is crooked.

How To Set Up A Blog

For this course we will use the blog format to professionally document your time in this class.

E-mail your blog address to me before the second class meeting.

Your blog address is the name you used for the url followed by ".blogspot.com"
For example, lauramongiovi.blogspot.com
This format is needed so I can access your blog.

How do I begin to set up a blog?

You need a google account to set up a blog.

Use a professional name for your blog. Try to use your proper name as you will be establishing yourself as a professional artist with the blog. Also, if I need to recommend you or your work to anyone, I can send them your blog link.
Use blogspot.com (or may come up under blogger.com) to set up a personal blog. The videos below show you how to set up a blog and how to post information. Feel free to search for another video tutorial.
Use the "simple" template .

When in dashboard, go to left column.
Click on "theme".
Scroll down the list of themes until you see "simple".
Click on the all white template in this category.
Click orange box that is labeled "apply".
Go to view blog, lower left area, to make sure the template was applied.

Do not use a colored/patterned background.
Replace stock image in header or leave blank. If you want to include an image in the background header, the image must be your own art work.

What do I put on the class blog?

I created a blog checklist for students. The document is in Canvas, in the File Section. The document also includes guidelines on formatting, photographing work, how to write statements and more.
The document is title "Blog Guidelines and Checklist".

When are blog postings due?
