Reflection/Process

I've came across a new love for watercoloring first term. This is perfect because I am able to incorporate watercolors into my piece. What makes this interesting is the contrast between the water colors and the magazines scraps that will cover Drake's face. A watercolor background will bring emphasis to the vivid colors in front of it. It also creates a background that seems slightly out of focus like a photograph.

Looking at Artists Studios

In Hamlets pictures of the studios, I viewed many different kinds of art spaces, but many of them had similar qualities. Most, if not all artists are surrounded by there own pieces of work on the walls or that leaned against the wall. Also a lot of the artists have a side source of entertainment while they work like a t.v., stereo, or an ipod. Many have cluttered spaces, which is very common in my case. Also a handful had very clean work spaces which makes it easier for the artist to find the tools they need.

Me

I've taken many art classes throughout my four years at beaver. Fortunately I was able to explore the things I am capable of doing and discovered some areas that need improving. Ceramics, and drawing from observation are two things that I could improve on. Its important to me that my artwork is completed the way I envisioned it, or even better. I want to be able to share what I can do with the rest of the school which is why I signed up for senior studio. On the big paper that we worked on in class, I drew a picture of a magazine because one area of art that I excel in is collaging faces. Jay-Z and Lady GaGa are two famous faces that I collaged that came out fabulous and received a lot of praise. Magazine scraps are what I use to make up the colors in my collages. The word "therapeutic" is also sprawled across the top of the page because thats one word that describes art for me. In order to create my vision as sufficient as possible, I plan to have all my materials together by the end of the week. This includes paintbrushes, watercolors, a poster of my collaging celebrity face, and tracing paper. I'm excited to share what I can do with all my peers and teachers.
