Some neat ideas

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 this last thing is totally unrelated pretty much, sorry. I'm just fascinated in general by animation, and I'd love to explore this craft.

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.
