#iwuartanddesign

any who, i saw this blog right, it was talking about how you brand a company that helps other companies with a branded website? what a question it’s crazy.  I don’t think i would have thought about it being something to question until i looked at that blog. but it makes sense. 

 I got to look into this cool ceramic artist that got the chance to design some shoes! These shoes if i could just describe to you how beautiful they were they would give them absolutely no justice. He used his ceramic skills to create this sneaker that has these elements that remind you of this art. The color and the visual texture. It’s so eye catching and beautiful I cant deal. and thing is. i wanted to buy them, bu they are now being sold on depop for about $250 dollars and no longer on the website he did the collaboration on. HIS DESIGNS WAS THAT GOOD. 

 Got the chance to go into this cool space and see some student art. I love that. We don’t always get the opportunity to see what other people are working on around us and its really sad. I think seeing how other people work around me and their style always helps me see what i can do to improve in my own kind of art. I am a visual learner, so being able to see what others are doing and learning from their crit’s and such is something so cool and great to build of each other through the comments.  Learning and building off each other when it comes to art i think is how you truly learn and get better. You cannot grow on your own. You always grow so much more when you surround yourself with other people you can build and learn from. at least that’s what i think. 

People see art different. people see everything different but that makes us individuals and unique in our own ways. ways that no one else can compare to. 

So, Gensler hires so many different people and have so many different opportunities open for the different studies. It would be a super cool chance for people to experience something like that. It was so cool to hear from them and they cool opportunities they’ve gotten. 

This building will bring so much opportunity. So much community within the art department. and so much growth for the people within it. I know that this building has the potential that everyone is talking about and i can not wait to see it. i cannot wait to experience it and i cannot wait to be a part of it. 

The indy convergence is 1. and art space 2. a community space 3. a cool spot. They allow artists from around the world come to the work space and have a residency. this past one was an African artist and the pieces hanging up... were INCREDIBLE!

I got to hear Lashawnda speak about her community work in some urban area’s of Indianapolis. The picture above is from a shack the community built in what used to be a very dark street corner. a place where art can be created and thrive. the problem with this space was that there where no side walks, no lights, crime was increasing. It was the main walking strip for children, the way they would walk to get to and from school and there where no side walks and no lights. So the plan was, so fill some of the empty space with a garden, some lights, a space where to community children could hangout and not be scared and what was around them. THEY EVEN GOT SIDE WALKS! This once eery walk to school was no more. and a creative space was built and can help the community continue to thrive.
