Beautiful Chaos
Acrylic on Canvas Art Foundations 2019 I made this piece because I wanted to show that there is beauty in sadness. I also wanted to take the meaning of "beautiful mess" to another level. To me when I hear beautiful mess I think of being unorganized in a good way. This piece has beauty and kayos. the color is the beauty and the craziness is the kayos. This resembles a weeping willow. When I see a weeping willow I think of a sad tree. Then you add in the colors and the beauty pops out. I choose the colors for different reasons. Traditionally red represents blood shed and struggle. I stuck with the concept of struggle, but I am using the red as the struggle to succeed. Most the time people see blue as a "sad" color. I use it as the sadness motivates you to try harder to succeed and the yellow represents the light in the darkness. The road to success is a beautiful kayo-tic mess and that is what I am showing in this piece. Happy Endings
Watercolor Art Foundations 2019 This is my version of a happy ending. I believe that everyone one should have a happy ending. Although the people that I believe deserve it most don't get it. Everyone should get little happy ending but in the grand scheme of life every big ending should be happy. We have the right for pursuit of happiness and I don't think that enough people go after what they really want. The colors in this are also really bold I did this because I believe to be happy you have to be bold sometimes. So the castle represents the ending and the colors represent the happy because everyone has a different version of happy. The doors on the castle are closed to show that the the end of something. There are no windows to show that you shouldn't look back. People say that life is like a movie. To me this means that there are scenes in your life. At some point there is a end to the scene. I believe that there should be more happy endings then there are sad. |
Perceptions
Colored Pencil Art foundations 2019 For my art activism project I choose to do perceptions of guns. The baby is representing innocents. All the stuff around it is representing all the things that we have in America and countries like it. The baby is all different colors. This is showing two things one being that guns protect all races, and two that all races are innocent. The gun in this picture is protecting the innocent from the ciaos of the other places in the world. On the gun it says "United States Army". I did this because this is one of the models that the military use to protect us. The right side of the paper looks unfinished to show that when guns fall into the wrong hands it causes destruction. When things are destroyed they look unfinished and that is what I am portraying. There is also very little color. The orange and red are the fire of catastrophe. There are no other colors because when I think of a war strike country all I see is destruction, violence, and sadness. So with no color it looks sad. I also made this so that there are many ways to interpret it. I did this because there are many ways to see guns. Some people see them as good. Some people see them as bad and some really couldn't care less. My personal opinion is that guns protect the innocent and taking them away from the innocent wont help anything. |
