Abdi I am so proud of Abdi this week. This was a beautiful drawn piece. The emotion was there, the technical skill was there and there was a concept beneath it. It felt like he was immersed and the title “Baptism” relates to his spirituality. Heck Yeah
Jaclyn Aesthetically this was pretty interesting. It felt serene calm, muted. However I feel like Jaclyn felt muddled when it came to her concept. I don’t think an open ocean represents being confined in any way. If she wanted to show freedom with the rock I think she would have fared better hanging it using string that way it would look like it’s floating. Eh…Heck No
Miles The idea of something ugly coming from something beautiful and then Miles creating something beautiful out of that is interesting. But like so many people say…it really is all about process for him. These final pieces ended up a little too obscure and arrangement was bizarre and dry. Eh…Heck No
Nicole I actually like this. Yes it was a little obscure but Miles’s was FAR more obscure. At least you can derive meaning from this. It felt prehistoric and yet alien at the same time. Someone on the IMDB message boards said it may have fared better if it had “cave-like” drawings on it, I agree. Eh…Heck Yeah
Peregrine Conceptually this was interesting, and it was definitely a very personal work. But the sculpture itself was weak and felt…like arts and crafts. I DID like the legs turning into the tree. I think that was unique. Eh…Heck No
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was disappointed that they let Nicole go. I think she’s been stronger in the competition than Peregrine has. Despite that, I think Peregrine is definitely talented.

Heck Yeah:

Heck No:
Peregrine
Just a heads up–”interesting” is the most vague word you can ever use to describe a work of art, and you used it at least three times. :p
Yeah I know, I’m a new blogger and I’m not used to writing so I’m still using easy words like “interesting.”
