Mixed Media

For my quarter 3 art project, I wanted to do mixed media. I think media media is very cool and you can also physically feel the art of the canvas. For my mix media project, I wanted to do wings with actual feathers, with a pretty background,  little pendants and a quote. I chose to do this because I wanted it to connect to my grandparents that passed away and I never met them. The quote is in Arabic lettering, and it said “Think of Others”. This quote connects to my grandparents because even though I never met them and barely know them, I still think of them and how they would be.

I did many art works before, but this project is different because I haven’t really did a quote on a canvas. I always thought it was so basic, but on my art work, I put more materials on it. The process of my artwork on confusing. I kept changing my mind about different ideas. First I wanted to do an ombre background but at the end I decided to do a different background. The first thing I did was sketch my idea. Than I started of with my background, I painted it light brown, and than I put late in different places so I can add white. After the paint all dried up, I drew the wings and glued feathers inside the wings. Than I wrote the quote in bold lettering. After most of the work was finished, I added little navy blue pendants.

I would say, these artworks fits with what I made because My feathers were dark also, but yet they are beautiful. The artwork is very detailed like mine. In conclusion, my art work was kind of personal but not so. It’s a pretty art work, and a lot of people might think of something different when they see the art. But in the end of the day “The artist sees what others only catch glimpse of”.
