Once again this site will not allow me to upload the photo of my spread so I am sorry. For 5.2 I focused on reference photos and working out my final sketch for my piece. For my fifth piece I was having trouble coming up with ideas because I was trying to avoid over done […]
Claustrophobia
The photo for my 5.1 spread would not upload so I can’t visually show it, but basically for my fifth work I focused on claustrophobia (the fear of enclosed spaces. I wanted to used either watercolor or sharpie pen for this. For my idea I was having trouble trying to avoid cliches like someone stuck […]
Progress on Artwork #4
I have finished over half of this piece so far. I trying to illustrate the surface of the water at the top of the page. I tried to over emphasize the colors on the woman because I wanted to almost look like she was starting to drown. I ended up doing this piece in color […]
Hitting a Few Roadblocks
For my second spread of my fourth piece, I tried to focus on working out the composition of my artwork. Originally I wanted to work on a looser interpretation of the figure breaking the surface of the water. But through my media studies I encountered issues with demonstrating this idea through acrylic. I decided for […]
Below the Surface
This pieces theme will be centered around thalassophobia or the fear of the ocean. To start off planning for my fourth piece, I decided to focus my first spread on brainstorming and finding inspiration/reference photos. My first page has a few pinterest inspiration photos that I plan to use as reference for my composition. Speaking […]
Reflecting Back on Artwork #3
For my third piece of the first quarter, I decided to focus on trypophobia (the fear of holes or round patterns). Originally I had planned to have my composition consist of a female figure with her tongue sticking out with a hole pattern on her tongue. I then decided that I wanted to further abstract […]
Reflecting Back on Artwork #2
My second piece was centered around chromophobia or the fear of color. I chose to do this phobia because of the irony it has in art. This piece was done with a palette knife and acrylic paint because I really wanted to delve further into abstractness and focus mainly on paint application. I really like […]
Trypophobia
For my first spread of my third artwork, I decided to shift my focus to trypophobia (the fear of holes or circular patterns). I always found this phobia to be extremely interesting and odd. The more I delved into reference photos, the more I began to be creeped out by hole textures and patterns. Even […]
Reflecting Back on Artwork #1
My original intention for my first piece was to convey the fear of arachnophobia and I wanted to incorporate this fear in an abstract style. I composed my idea so there was an abstracted figure who is like a sort of “spider keeper”. I had spider legs extend over him and wrapped around him to […]
#throwbackthursday
This was a piece that I did last year in art III. I was not very proud of my pieces that year, but this one was definitely an exception. When I heard we would have to realistically depict a part of the human skeleton and in conte, I was extremely nervous and wasn’t sure how […]
