Hi my name is Lauren McElrath and I am a sophmore this year! I am a studio art major and would love to work in illustration. I love hanging out with my friends and family, painting, and fashion. On the left is my favorite painting which I would love to see in person some day.
I Really like this image/word combination. I think rotten was a good word to choose for an overflowing dumpster. I also enjoy the first photo, I think there is good motion within the space.- Morgan Mann
I am a coffee mug. Sometimes I am filled with milk or bitter coffee. I am set in a large microwave and warmed up rapidly. People pick me up and drink from me. I am happy because people love coffee and I get to be used everyday .
5 random words story:
5 random words: snail, desert, game, evening, laser
There once was a snail who lived in the desert. He was very lonely because the desert was hot so there wasn’t many animals to be friends with. Every evening, when the heat lessened a little a snake would come out. They were good friends and loved to play games. They raced from cactus to cactus. Snake was faster so usually he won. One evening snail was tired of losing so he shot lasers out of his eyes and snake was dust. Snail won the race that day.

I love her style because she focuses on things i enjoy in art, nature, flowers, women, animals. She has her own line of watercolor brushes and has been commissened for pieces for many companies including Nike and the New York Times. She has a big following on instagram which is where I found her work about 2 years ago.

Art 21 Louise Bourgeois -
Louise Bourgeois is an American artist who has been challenging how art tackles emotion and meaning since the early 1940’s, a time where that was a lot harder for her to do. Her main goal in her artwork is for viewers to feel emotion and sense to the piece she has created. She liked her artwork to be in public places so lots of people could view them. She feels she has failed and her art is bad if people feel nothing when they see it. I thought that was pretty cool of her because she understands the best part of art, emotion.
For my project I am going to be using pointe shoes and de assembling them/breaking them and making them dirty/trash. I danced ballet my whole life and pointe was a big part of that. Now that I am here at college so I am not dancing pointe anymore and it is to resemble the end of that part of my life growing up.
