Rushed Art

Here are pictures of my rushed art. I am not happy with them but I am putting them up on the web so that I can start keeping a photo journal of my work up here. Might enlighten me at some point ;)
















































To me, one of the pictures looks like a traumatized child drew it and the other looks like a 7th grade art project. Alas! Ironically, if someone else painted these of course I'd be supportive of their artistic process and embrace the pictures for what they are and not what they "should" be. The point of art is the process, or at least that's what I've been taught the past year ;)

Most importantly, no matter what they look like they are done and were both finished under an hour. Now I can analyze them and draw out the "true" meaning from my art work and how it relates to my internship, which I start tomorrow. Woo Hoo!

For those who are curious, all of my courses at Lesley University are not this open-ended. This assignment is for my supervision class, which is designed to support student's internship experiences. The assignments in supervision are often reflective in order to assist us gain more objectivity in our therapeutic practice.

Have a good night!
