It has been nearly a month since I turned in the final project for my Color and Design class at Ventura College. I feel a little sad sometimes that I won't be going back there those sunny quiet evenings...but I am grateful for the free time now and the huge gas savings. Perhaps I will miss it mostly because I simply enjoyed being forced to sit down and draw and learn about design, instead of always feeling frustrated that I never develop my creative side. I'm not a very good self-starter sometimes, so it was really good for me. My last art piece for class is something a little different; multiple applications of masking tape and spray-paint on the inside of a disembodied Chevy truck window...the project dictated that it had to be a work based closely on an artist of our choice, including a brief written essay. While thumbing through a book on graffiti from around the world I discovered this extremely obscure French artist who calls himself HNT/Honet. I never did find out much about him, nor did I find many examples of his work, but the project was really a blast.
