Can you spell Polykleitos?

Okay I'm alive. I've been so busy with school its unreal. I am right in the middle of midterm week. I have a painting due on Monday. This is what it looked like a few days ago. This is not what it looks like now. I don't have a current picture. I'm not liking where it is at the moment. It had a totally different color theme at first and now its going a totally different way and it bums me out. I'm hoping to do something with it.





















Today I'm gesso'ing a 24x 36 canvas 3 times and learning to spell things like Khafre and Hatshepsut. Yes those are real names. Egyptian names. I have to know how to spell them. I need to know the dates of when 45 pieces of art were made and how to spell them and be able to write a paragraph about them. haha I'm screwed!

This is Khafre on the left sitting. The one on the right is Menkaure and his wife another fun one to spell.

















Wish me luck tomorrow please! I really want to ace the test. I'm a stickler for wanting A's in classes. I can't help it. I'm also in in a 5k this weekend. eep! Be back when I can!
