Ask Me Help Desk - The Artist in you!

So, are you now getting into things that are "goth" in style?

Maybe a little
Id like to, but parents... friends... they would prob discourage it.

Are you moved towards that style because of the art in it, or because of something else?

Ummm... why do we need to discuss this all now?

We don't have to.

Hmmm... I guess we can discuss it tomorrow, if you feel we need too, but rite now its 11 pm so I need to get some sleep lolz
Hoping to see more art in the morning.

We can, if you would like. It's all up to you. I know that I would like to because I and also we care about you and what you do. :)

You can buy black Christmas trees they were really popular here last year. It would save gassing yourself with spray paint. Personally I think I'd rather stick to green seeing the ones that were about.

Anywhos have I missed any good pics? Been sooo busy haven't looked on here at all.

There have been lots of good pics on these pages. Might be worth your while to sift through the bunch! Thanks for stopping by! :)

I do know that more pictures will be coming!

I really liked Didi's chrismas decorations, might try and do something like that myself when I go home. I usually look through these pages often but I rarely post, oh dear makes me sound a bit creepy...

*strange voice* I'm watching you, you and your art...

Oh yeah and Sean's piece was really good as well, very Picasso/ Mondrian.

i reckon i did pretty good in the art one tho, i always do, just i work quickly and finish quickly lol.
my parents just refused me permission to spray paint the xmas tree black :(
had the kewlest idea, i reckon the xmas tree wud look so kewl if i spray painted it black, put red tinsel on it, but red and black bulbs on the lights, and then hang like little skull and razor decorations on it......................okay, so maybe not exactly the most joyous and xmasy sounding thing, but itd look so awesome! and then i could like get candles all around the room and light them, and coud have like a goth looking angel on top.........
meh, next year im gunna buy my own tree and do that :) itll look soooo awesome!

Sean, so glad to see you back on the thread! Glad exams went well. I had to smile when I read that you finished an hour early on your art exams. Just reaffirms your enthusiasm for art.

My grandmother had asthma really badly. My dad went out, cut down a small tree for her living room, in the early winter, making sure it was well-cured (dried). Spray painted it silver. Grandmother hung all her ornaments and beads, etc. just as you would on a tree with pine needles, etc. That was the only kind of Christmas tree I ever saw in my grandmother's home and it was beautiful to me. I guess growing up with it, I never thought it strange or different from ours, it was just a great Christmas tree that was constant. You wouldn't remember the older ornaments, much more detailed than the ones now. I barely do but wish I had at least one to place on our tree for the memories. You might consider just cutting down a small tree after all the leaves have fallen, spray paint it black and maybe your parents would allow you to have it in your room and enjoy your creativity without it infringing on their traditional tree.

I got to say, it does sound cool. I like the idea of the red tinsel and bulbs. Can you visualize a little tree, about five feet tall, just the limbs, no pine needles, (oak maybe, not sure what daddy used) but was not a pine tree at all), spray painted black in your room, with the red? I would love to see it.

I would however not want the skulls and razors. :eek: Just doesn't represent to me what Christmas is all about but I do love your originality of your idea. Quite creative. If you do this project, please post a picture but I would like to see it without the scary stuff! LOL Okie Dokie??

I would really like to see Firmy come back and post here! I miss her very much!
Her words, her art, and all the rest of her! Hugs to all you sweet people!

hey guys! Jess is back what's up? ^.^

Welcome back, Jess! We have missed you! Been busy with school?? Do you have any new art to post?

Hmmm.. I hope that I sense a little bit of life coming back into this thread! :)

lol I wish I did! I'm glad I've been missed though ^.^. My renassance painting is almost done and when it is I will show it to you guys. I finally got art supplies so I've been painting at home but the painting I'm doing at home is not turning out as I envisioned. As soon as I fix it I will show it to you. It's not like my other work, it's more cartoony. And you school and my boyfriend have been keeping me busy ^.~, I'm trying to get one of my grades up so that I can go to a dance that is on the 1st of December.

Hello, Jess!

What do you mean by Renaissance?

I'm doing a recreation of a painting done in the renaissance period in renaissance style. Everyone was supposed to do the Mona Lisa but we could do another painting if we wanted to. I'm doing "Small Cowper Madonna" by Michelangalo. Here's what it looks like so far... not a very good picture though... I took it with my cell phone and sent it to my computer.Attachment 5380

Jess, the site is moving slow. I posted an answer a few minutes ago but not sure it posted. Just want you to know it is great seeing your work posted. Love your use of colors. I have been working in black and white for awhile and have some projects in my mind to do in color. I am working on a black and white commission piece now but after that... LOOK OUT COLOR... here I come! :p
