I went to the Paris Olympics! | Sketchbook Travel Vlog
I went to the 2024 Paris Olympics with my mom! I just finished my Master of Fine Art degree in Glasgow, and I celebrated by leaving Scotland for a summer holiday in France. It was a fun filled week of sporting events (rowing and athletics) alongside some amazing food and a bit of drawing! I always take a sketchbook with me when traveling. It’s one way of recording memories and capturing an experience outside of photographs and videos. Hope you all enjoy and follow along for more adventures!

In this video I tier rank a selection of sculptures, screen prints, textile art, installations, and paintings to decide once and for all, which pieces are top tier art. Let me know if you would've ran...

My mom came and visited me in Glasgow this last week and we spent a few days travelling through the highlands with her, my boyfriend, and my trusty sketchbook. We visited the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe, Three Sisters, Skye, Loch Ness, and Inverness! We drove through the highlands in a tiny campervan and made it safely back to Glasgow at the end of the week. I finished the last few pages of my ...

I am preparing for my final degree show for my Master of Fine Arts program at the Glasgow School of Art. Come with me as I view our venue, make a new textile piece, and do a bit of screen printing.

I wanted to share my art making process from idea to finish, even if that finish still needs some work ;) Being an art student oftentimes means juggling ten different projects/responsibilities at once. This week not only did I make a new sculpture with handmade milk cartons but I also helped welcome a few new friends from Germany and hosted an art exhibition. It's a busy bee fall :) Peachtober ...

Come along and screen print an edition of Scottish sheepish with me! After a semester of experiments and exhibitions, I finally was able to do something cute and fun just for myself.

painting a gouache landscape | studio day as an art student

Today I was feeling motivated to break out the acrylic gouache paints and create a landscape painting. As a full time art student, I try to break up my week with fun projects like this. There’s no pressure to make something perfect or complete an assignment, I just want to have a bit of fun.

    i <3 textile art! and your concepts are exceptional, love the crochet patterns on concrete and the metal of the tank, something delicate - social rules can be very important, too, especially the brittle ones that make us respect and love each other for who we are - on some of the most sturdy materials, because they need the most support. oh, you can see your work is sparking something already. how wonderful what you are capable of with the work you make with love and your fingers (shout out to your little sister!). don't stop arting, please.

    You’ve done reduction printing without telling your audience that’s what you are doing. That’s really not a basic (beginner) linocut technique.

    • @zhpDEREK
      @zhpDEREK 5 месяцев назад

      What’s reduction printing?

    • @blakeballardart
      @blakeballardart 5 месяцев назад

      Hi! Reduction printing is when you use the same linoleum block for all your layers. Each layer you cut a little bit away from the block to print in a new color and leave the carved parts their previous color.

      Hi! Glasgow is a great art city! My postgrad program is pretty independent, so I find myself making opportunities for myself rather than relying on the school. I’ll be heading back to the US after I finish though, Glasgow is not for me long-term 🤷‍♂️ Good luck!
