Day 2 by Kat Moore

Hi Everyone!
So to follow up, on day two I continued to help Dot with her practice pieces. I laid down cement and helped with cutting metal wire. I never worked with cement as a medium, but working with it for the first time I immediately bonded to how inexpensive and heavy the material is. With concrete the artist is able to mold and sculpt the concrete into what ever shape is possible and I find the material useful for projects in the future. These practice pieces are small studies of the actual large and heavy pieces that will be featured in Dots solo show at Allen's Lane Art Center. Today I mixed a huge batch of concrete to fit within the the metal wire. The with Styrofoam acts as a barrier to help control where the concrete is going and to define the its shape. After mixing concrete and cutting Dot and I went out on a trip to collect materials. We went to Jomar, which is a fabric store in south Philadelphia to look for some fabric that I can use for my projects.

Slam Magazine Cover Shoot

I was able to learn more about strobes and working with big name clients. I even got a SLAM magazine t-shirt!

Week 3 The UArts alumnus I’m working for is Megan Becker, who pursued the same internship program I’m part of when she was an Illustration student at the university. She has been the one handing me an airbrush and letting me (tentatively) try my hand at stain remediation for water damaged pieces. Megan and I are a good alum-student match because of our shared interest in illustration, and quieter introverted nature. Although Megan’s and my art is very different, we share an understanding for visual meaning and narrative.  The weeks at ART are fairly reliable work-load wise, but on Wednesdays we get to do something a little different. Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick. I started actually a little before the school year ended. So far it has been fun and a great learning experience.
