Progress Post #3 - September 28, 20189/28/2018 I have chosen a submission and begun on my painting! I still have a lot to do, so I took it home for the weekend. Painting actual skin tones is much harder than I though it would be which is really sad because I want to be as accurate as possible. I switched around the picture a little bit to incorporate the funny thing the person submitted because I feel like it adds more content and meaning to the work. I am really excited to see what will happen when I unveil it! I hope she likes it.

Progress Post #2 - September 21, 20189/21/2018 I finally got the box and the boards up! The typography is really ugly on the boards with the instructions for the project, but I am just glad that it is out there for the world to see. I got some responses and it makes me really happy to see people stop and read the sign as they walk past. I decided to start an instagram to better reach people and spread the word about my project as I think a social media presence is the key to making a widespread art project. I think it would be really cool to put my completed portraits on the instagram to sort of spread the word of what people think is funny. I am so excited to see how this turns out, but I also only have one week to work on a portrait so I am a little pressed for time!
Progress Post #1 - September 14, 20189/14/2018 New year, new project, and new art class. This week, I began work on my new art project. I decided to go with an interactive project where I ask people to tell me something funny, and I offer to paint a portrait of them. I've painted two shoeboxes black and plan on making the sign next week and setting it up as soon as possible as I technically only have three weeks to work on this project. I want to make this a year round thing and make a series of works based off of this one idea, but it might be too much. I am very excited as I have been thinking about doing this project for a while! author.jacqueline. she/her. senior. virginia, usa. art v. archives.
