It occurred to me a few weeks ago that there are some people who don’t know that I actually studied art in college. So I thought I might share some of the artwork I’ve created over the years.

I have always had a fondness and knack for art. In fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs. O’Brien, asked me to create a bulletin board for her classroom. I remember being so excited that she asked me to help her. I drew a couple of dalmatians, dog bones, and paw prints. I wish I had pictures of it – for my own personal interest, but I remember being so proud of it.

I was also a 4Her and enrolled in Visual Arts and Photography projects every year and took my projects to the fair to be judged. I usually did pretty well, often being awarded blue ribbons and a few times even being selected to take my project to the State Fair.

I took a wide range of art courses in college…. it was actually required to acquire my degree. I took everything from design, computer design, drawing, figure drawing, 2D Art, 3D Art, Ceramics, and Photography… those are the main ones I remember anyway. I honestly think that all these classes helped me to gain a greater understanding of art and composition… knowledge that helps me when I’m taking my pictures. There are things I look for and direct my attention to because of all these classes I took.

Well, enough of my ramblings. Here’s just a few pictures of some of my artwork…. If enough people show interest, I may post some more images when I sort through more of my college artwork.

The next few images are from my college design classes…

This was a drawing of Arwen’s Evenstar Pendant for one of my college drawing classes. My semester project was to pick an item and draw it 50 times, 50 different ways.

Here’s a selection of other drawings from my college drawing courses…

These are recreations of other artist’s works. We had to use the same medium and try to recreate it to the best of our abilities.

These were the first three photos I found from one of my college photography classes…

Well that’s all I’ve got for now. If you’ve found this interesting – let me know and I’ll see about going through some more of my stuff and sharing on the blog.

Have an amazing weekend!
