Hey everyone!

So, my first week, I wrote scenes and a poem. My second week, I composed some music. This week, I think I’m going to try my hand at visual art!

Today’s project is brought to you by limited time and art supplies; we’re not visual artists in my house–anyone who knows me and/or my brother knows we’re much more performance oriented (which might be an understatement).

I raided my house for things to paint/draw/paper mache with and came up only with tracing paper and colored pencils. I have some cool idea for the rest of the week’s projects, but I will require some construction paper/paint and potentially glitter. GLITTER 😀

I love Marilyn Monroe, and have in my room this lovely photograph of her:

 

She is greeting fans at Yankee Stadium.

 

Now, you’ll all remember Andy Warhol immortalized Miss Monroe in this painting:

 

 

So in sort of the same vein, I created this picture. My use of color is deliberate, and I liked choosing where and when to use color, and what to include from the original photograph.

 

(excuse my terrible iphone photos!)

 

Anyway. Thanks for tuning in! I’ll back Wed with another piece of visual art! 😀

Friday was Chris’ day.
His project was due 6 AM this morning.
And unless his project was conjuring a magical, invisible unicorn, it would appear that he MISSED the deadline.

Well folks, we all know that this project is a lot of things, but it is first and foremost NOT called “Create or That’s OK If You Don’t.”

no. It’s create or DIEEEEEE

SO. As punishment I have commanded Chris to create a tribute to this fabulous work of art:

I’d PREFER a watercolor in the style of Monet, but it’s art, everyone has a different vision.

 

Have fun Chris!! XD

FONSECA OUT!

Happy Friday!

SOOOOOO… for reasons outside of my control, I was not able to create anything today.  If you want to see me make something, here’s your chance–let Caroline know!

Caroline, I anxiously await your assignment for Tuesday.  Anxious like I have anxiety.

Yes, I wrote a song. With chords and stuff. And I perform it 🙂

Hey guys,

This isn’t my art project (it isn’t even my day!) but I wanted to share with you all where The Create Or Die Project is currently at.

So yeah!  If you want to participate in The Create Or Die Project, you should EMAIL US!  If you’re just interested, or have an idea, or just a thought, send it to us at [email protected]!!!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank goodness it’s Wednesday.  This is probably my earliest posting yet!

Caroline, I really enjoyed your song yesterday, and it’s inspired me to compose one of my own!  However, that will have to wait until Friday!  As for today, I found some sculpting clay in my house!  So here’s me, playing with clay!

Thanks again to everyone who’s watching and reading the Create Or Die blog.  You guys rock, keep creating!
