The Wonderful World of Charley Harper

Hey guys! My name is Katy Hampton and I would love to share my favorite artist with you! You may have seen some of his work all around the city, he is very famous in Cincinnati because from his career in college to the day he passed, he lived right here in the city! His name is Charley Harper. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He is one of my favorites due to the fact that his art is very symmetrical and straight forward, which may be boring to some. One of his most known art works is his red cardinal.

my favorite piece

My dad along with his fiancé Anna love harpers work! so much that my dad gave me a project one day to paint one of Harpers works on our garage doors! Here is what we based our project on...

It took us a day and a half to get this design on our small garage doors. Here are a few photos of the doors being put together ...

AND... by day two we had a finished product!!!!

Charley is a very inspiring artist! I hope to one day be as inspiring as him! here is a website about him if you want to know more : https://charleyharperartstudio.com/

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.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways.... The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
