What I got out of the experience of the semester is more personal experience, as opposed to the familiar setting of back home, focused more on assignments. I've taken an art conservation class, and a fresco painting class, an art history class, and 6 credits MICA independent honors. These are some of the images I've created for that semester .
Frescos: Super fun class, I had an amazing teacher named Mario:

These are 2 self-portrait oil paintings.
[These are quick snap shots]
This top one is Caravaggio inspired, and I did this one first. I just couldn't get myself to actually paint, although I did have the desire to; surround, with every step by beauty, and art hiding in any building around the corner, that would end up being palaces, filled in riches with paintings. I couldn't figure how to place myself; be comfortable, I guess really embrace this new life/what is around me, and my spirits weren't as cheery as usual, and so, this incomplete painting documents that.
This painting is Salvador Dali inspired, and definitely in a happier state, also still Caravaggio inspired; perhaps the lighter side of him; more like his Bacchus paintings. This painting came as it went; more into the process. I had Dali in my head after seeing his amazing shrine of a museum in Barcelona. I felt, could see his love of life/art, it seems so automatic, I admire greatly his imagination, and ability to create what my come to mind without questioning.
This painting is in a more spiritual side; positive. I tried to bring illustration more into the painting; more of a free world, no restrictions.
