Artist Statement
My art project is a yin yang koi fish. A Chinese theory for the yin is that it’s passive and negative force, and yang the active, positive force. According to this theory, wise people will de77tect these forces in the seasons, in their food, and so on, and will regulate their lives accordingly. I created this project because, I always been a an of the Yin yang symbol. The yin yang sign mean to is peace, love, and equality, I feel in today's world there isn't any of that. There's so much hate, violence in today's world. My vision for my project was to show peace and love, i want to spread the positivity throughout the world instead of the negativity. I want my viewers to feel what I feel when I see my painting, which is good vibes. I want my viewers to feel relaxed and open. My work now doesn't really compare to my previous I feel my work now mature me as a person then before. My previous work wasn't about showing positivity so much, it was more like a sense of humor. My inspiration came from a television show called Avatar The Last Airbender. One episode shows Koi fish lights up, and when the fishes are not together the world will experiences disaster. My idea was if Yin yang fish come together in the real word then world peace will happen or show equality. My work can impact the world by seeing race equality, for example black and whites come together and stop the racism going around the world. The technique I use for my project was a pencil, painting, and sharpie. Sharpie is great technique to use to outline the paint to define the painting a lot more. A new technique I learn was painting, at first when I was painting the color wasn't as dark, Ms. Hertz told me to give it a second paint to darken the color so it won't fade out. My art compare with the painting “Gu Wenda” is similar, both are Chinese and have message. Overall I'm proud of my project and i'm glad I have a great meaning behind the painting to show.
