Dear Caitlin....what are your top 3 favorite mediums to use when making artwork? P.S. what are your top 3 favorite songs in the whole wide world? — Asked by lisart-deactivated20111106

Wow, wow… these are some pretty intense questions. I don’t think I can pinpoint an answer, either. I love painting, drawing (although I’m ready for a break from charcoal for the time being) ink and oil pastels, I love collage, 35mm photography, digital… but there are so many things I haven’t really dipped into that I think I would love! Despite my bad experience with linoleum printmaking in middle school and high school, I want to experiment with other types of printmaking. And I want to learn how to use a letterpress. Also, I want to paint with oils. I don’t know if I’ll prefer acrylic or not…we’ll see. I also want to learn (I guess, more…do) the gouache technique. And then I want to combine all of these elements into my graphic design. Not really a definitive 1, 2, 3 answer… but really, what did you expect?

Top favorite songs in the whole wide world- AH! I really am not one to have ‘favorites’ until I listen to a song and then think “ahh, this is one of my favorites,”… so this is difficult :) It’s really just what I’m into right now at the moment… also taking into accounts oldies but goodies. 

Actually since we are leaving class right now, I will post my personal NOW! list as a later date.
