Hi. My name is Cassidy Foley. I have 2 weeks left of high school. My high school experience has been pretty weird. There have been bad decisions, songs that have made me feel like my chest was going to explode, I've skipped school just so I can see what the sunrise looks like behind the school,  i've slacked off in DMA because I thought that my art wasn't good enough, I've changed my mind a lot about what I was doing with my life. DMA happens to be the only thing that has remained static to me, the only thing that I've been sure about my whole high school career. I have a lot of people to thank for that. (Mrs. Shields mostly... but I don't think i'll ever be able to muster up the perfect goodbye for her.) But thank you for checking off DMA on your schedule sheets, and making art that is inspiring. Continue what you're doing. Keep working hard no matter what. That's the most important thing. Sounds cliche, but it's cliche for a reason. 


So farewell, godspeed whatever, I'll be majoring in Graphic Design and minoring in Creative Writing next year at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. I'm sure i'll see you soon, and good luck in AP.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
