<p>dear brown…I am excited for you. The field is open, keep on going! I’m curious what inspires you? What do you like to look at? What other artists?
Have you ever seen this guy’s work? [Hundertwasser[/url</a>] He was a wild one.
I see some connection between the two of you. Check out his architecture too!

<p>Ok here is my two cents, with the understanding that all I am is a mom with a kid in art school (Cooper Union) and my professional/career experience is all related to sciences/engineering. </p>
<p>You have found your passion. Congratulations!
I absolutely love your work. The funny thing is, from what I am learning about art vicariously through my son, who had a life changing high school teacher, and has lots of technical skills, is that for instance in the art magnet program he attended in high school, they spent “two years learning the rules, and then two years breaking the rules”. That is (I think) most kids who do bfas at the fancy schools go into them with technical skills, and then learn to find their voice. You already have your voice, and you are probably wondering if you would have the same voice if you “knew how to draw”. I also suspect given how brainy you are, that you would like to know more about art theory and so on?</p>
<p>So I dont think a BFA is right for you. I think it probably is an MFA that you want. So how to get there? You also want to enter the MFA program with some of the same art school well of experience as your peers in whatever MFA program. You have a lot going for you. You have a somewhat cohesive body of work, you have an undergraduate degree from a fancy school, that you did well in, you have a story to tell and a voice to tell it with. </p>
<p>so I really dont know how this works, but I think you are on the right track with the CE. Read about art theory, color theory, and so on. My kid is really into color theory and if he ever wakes up today (he was working forever in the ridiculous heat yesterday, and then watching movies late last night) and if you are interested you can pm me and he can email you some reading suggestions.</p>
<p>lemme just say
bravo! to the launcher moms
and of course, OP</p>
<p>hey how do you like Roo in the Winnie the Pooh?</p>
<p>hi guys want to just thank you all for the feedback! I went from probably doing BFA to now looking for other ways to get those skills so that I can apply to my MFA. I called today and SMFA boston has a rolling admin post-bacc program and they offer aid, she told me to submit my portfolio sooner than later for admission to fall semester. Since boston is an hr away I am really considering it! I am taking CE at RISD courses in the mean time.</p>
<p>Went to the gallery today and took these pics of my art. It isnt professional photography, but do you think they will pass for applying to SMFA? Kinda broke bc of all the costs of moving and such so if i can spare the expense Id like to do my own slides. </p>
<p>here is the new portfolio: [Reslane</a> Colors and Designs: updated portfolio!](<a href=“http://reslaneshop.blogspot.com/2011/06/updated-portfolio.html]Reslane”>http://reslaneshop.blogspot.com/2011/06/updated-portfolio.html)</p>
<p>brown - You know how to make a bunch of hovering parents feel good! Ask for advice, listen, filter, plan and act! Love your diy photos.</p>
<p>Great news!!!..your slides look good. They should do the job. Please keep us posted as we do like to hover you know :)</p>
<p>I also loved the photos and your taking action! Make sure you send descriptions of medium, size etc with the pics. Good luck!</p>
<p>here is another one.
these things usually ask 60-70bucks entrance fee and posibbly you won’t win anything for long time, if ever. (someone do, like lottery ticket. they will anounce who won and put up shows)
once participated in something, they would mark you as ‘prosrect=sucker’ and their mother organization, peers, enemies; all other competition/foundation/organization would start sending you all sort of invitation. most are useless but there are good stuff that are often free and near you.
just something to keep you informed and motivated.</p>
