Q4 Benchmark

The artist my artwork is influenced by is Picasso he has a unique technique and his artwork is very shifting. It hard to match his design and skill. He uses water colors and blends them very well. Throughout my artwork I wanted to communicate a similar but brighter picture of what Picasso made so it could bring it out more. This artwork reflects on my person experiences because I’m an extra and hype person so this is a reflection of my action and personality. The tools I used to create my artwork was water paint, water, paint brushes and a canvas broaden type paper. I used the water paint to give off a mixer of blurred colors and tone. I usec the different brushes to get into small spot, to do the bigger spots easier and to make sure my colors blended. The water gave me the necessary component to mix the colors and add an extra bright tone. The artwork I made is a picture of a girl laying on her two arms, eyes closed, head cocked to one side as she rest her background is darker but she’s brought out by bright blues, yellows, reds and whites. The background gives you a more settled darker look. With the background being black and lighten up with bright orange to outline the door and the ceilings designs. The ladies face is mashed together with multiple bright colors as well as the blue table she lays on. This artwork relates to my previous work because everything I make I make it bright so it draws your attention. It just matches with the flow and tone of the other art pieces I’ve created. The process I used to create this is first writing my own rubric on what I was doing for my benchmark and when did I want certain things completed. Then, I googled different images from my artist. Looking at his technique trying to see what I could mock I found the artwork of the girl. Next class I figured out what materials I wanted to use and started to get started with the outline. I tried first in my sketch book then on my canvas paper. Having to make it bigger so it took up a lot of the page I finally completed the sketch. Next I looked into the artist colors and saw what I had to work with. I placed the colors on  my palate and started paint my sketch. Day by day I began to have it complete. Next I had to start working on the very detailed pattern in the background. Getting it most of the way I finally complete my art piece. The artist that makes similar work to mine would have to be the man who inspired me who is Pablo Picasso (https://www.pablopicasso.org/picasso-paintings.jsp). The technique that’s important to me would have to be the blending portion. Blending is a technique that takes lots of patience. A new technique I learned is how to fade. I was most proud of the girl in the painting it looked so similar to his work. If I could change something I would change the outline of the door in the background and my lining make it neater. In conclusion I learned that Picasso is an amazing artist with a lot of skill and art is all about patience.
