Quick reminder: my name is Aleksandra and this semester I will continue this blog on the subject - Art Portfolio. My goal is to study Crafts Design in the next academic year.
During the break, I spend most of my time resting and gaining strength for new artistic challenges. Among more ambitious activities I borrowed a few books about ceramics, like a book of Pablo Picasso's ceramic works - "Picasso and ceramics" by Hazan, from the DMU library. Also during my visit to Poland, my family and I went to Karpacz. Cities with a beautiful architectural church - Vang Stave Church.
I also try to draw the Vang Stave Church in my free time. And one more picture of the building that I found on Pinterest. In the future, I want to finish them with the watercolour technique.
While resting, I managed to catch up on watching the new movie adaptation of the epic science fiction novel Dune written by Frank Herbert. Costume design: Jacqueline West and Bob Morgan did a really great job. The costumes in this adaptation are just amazing.
"Well, as I mentioned, I based all of the Atreides armor on the Templars, so this idea came up in conversation with Denis very early on about how the Catholic Church condemned the Templars, so I thought perhaps the Spacing Guild should be quite ecclesiastic. I thought it was a good symbol — with the ruling body going after House Atreides, just like the king and the church went after the Templars for the most arbitrary reasons." (West, 2021)

You have taken a fantastic photograph, very evocative and mysterious! You could add more about what makes you want to draw these wonderful buildings, is it the shapes, patterns, cultural associations?
