A rather brief art instillation in the practice rooms of the Lawrence Conservatory made for the benefit of those who may see and enjoy it.
When deciding what to do for my final project in this class, I kept coming back to this idea. It’s an idea that’s been done before by a club I believe, but not on this scale with every practice room in mind. A lot of my projects throughout the term have had to do with the Conservatory and so I wanted this last project to be something related to that. Through this project I was able to engage with the students of the Con in a positive way during a very stressful end of the term. I hope this project helped foster a little more cheerful environment, even if only on a small scale.

Reflection

This weekend I attended the ImprovisationaLU fest where I got to witness some truly fantastic, improvised music and art. While the performers took stage, Lewis Achenbach  also was up front next to the musicians painting live. This in itself, getting to watch him craft these works while the music played was such an awe-inspiring performance. The next day, Achenbach held a workshop aptly titled "Painting with Lew" which I got the opportunity to attend. Creating art to live music being something he does often for a living, Achenbach shared a lot about his goals in doing so and his process when going about this. He discussed his motivations, saying that the creation of his art is his way of showing physically what the music does for him and share that feeling with others. We then got to work on our own live paintings while listening to improvised music and creative guidance from Achenbach. He explains that part of what he is doing while listening to the music is just reaction

This is my artist blog, and it doesn't look like much yet but thank you for taking a look. I've studied classical music in school for a rather long time but I'm looking for new outlets of expression to explore. My artistic identity is something I myself have yet to pinpoint. I've never quite figured that out, but maybe this blog will help me focus on some inward analysis. Many forms and mediums of art interest me and I've attempted creation in many directions already, but none of them felt quite right, if that makes any sense. Technology and new media is something that I'm completely new to and it'll be interesting to see what kind of stuff comes out of this endeavor.  My name is Jeanette.

"Our time is a time for crossing barriers, for erasing old categories - for probing around." -Marshall McLuhan, "The Media is the Massage" (pg. 10) Esperanza Spaulding's album "Exposure" NPR: A Creative Marathon, Live In The Studio A really exciting project by a relevant, talented artist. Broadcasting live her process of writing and recording this album is art in itself, a kind of performance art that allows an intimate look into her artistic vision as a songwriter. Tara Pappas Artist Website Tarra Pappas is an artist who's works I found in a little art gallery in Laramie, WY. I fell in love with her multi-media, whimsical art fit for illustrations in a children's book. When looking her up, I found her website which she posts her blog, her art, and her podcasts which I highly recommend! She talks a lot about different issues she's encountered as an artist, giving interesting insight into her career. Lol th
