From the Heart

The project I created was something similar to value line and text drawing. I ended up doing this because I wanted to do my own project , but I realized I could do what I wanted following this criteria.  I drew multiple drawings on one page for a total of three days. Those drawings represented whatever I was feeling and what was on my mind. I then put them all together in a thought bubble. At first I was going to put in a heart , but I couldn’t get the shape right. I just wanted it to be great. I feel as though I accomplished that and when people see it, they will understand what runs through the adolescent mind/heart. Artist today doing something similar to this aswell. Ginna albeny is famous for this as well She even said,”I make art for a few reasons. In life, we experience so much fragmentation of thought and feeling. For me, creating art brings things back together. Our process in making our art and the amount of thought put into this work is equivalent.  At first it took me forever to create something. It’s very hard to force myself to make art of what I am feeling. I don’t like forcing those sort of things so I’d try listening to music until I felt something. Other than that I would start by asking myself how my day was. I didnt’t even get inspiration from anyone. I usually do this alot so I decided I should do this so I can get stuff of my mind. This work reflected everything I was going through. The pressure of the outside world on my mind and how it effects me on a emotional level. The only way to really capture this is by really feeling the emotion. This is the most important technique. If not for the authentic feeling the drawing would be artificial. While doing some of the drawings I learned shading techniques. I think they helped bring alot of the drawings together. Overall,  creating art based off of what I am going through was very interesting.I think it’s very creative and different.It’s also very complicated to do.
