Q4 Reflection Project

For this quarter 4 project in Art 2 I drew a picture of myself based in the style of artwork the artist I studied have done, I included different symbols that had some importance to the world like freedom posters, people holding hands to show unity. I included worlds like faith, an equality symbol, and a lotus flower. I drew this artwork to show what I reflect on and what I see in the world.

For this project I used a pencil, markers, transfer paper, and white copy paper. Throughout all the work I have done I had a connection to the artwork or even artist. Throughout completing each project I always create a plan and have rough copies of the final. To create this project I first studied the artist I chose to base my artwork on, I created an informational google slideshow. Then, I planned how I would use my time. I created my rough draft of what I wanted my final outcome. I made another rough draft by changing the picture of myself. I transferred the draft to the final paper tracing over and then using markers to color my final copy.

Another, artist that resembled Faith Ringgold’s artwork was Joseph Kosuth. Where his focus is more on being conceptual like so http://www.pomeranz-collection.com/?q=node/210

Many different techniques are important to art like using the best tools that fit the specific like maybe watercolor when creating a calmer piece or even little things like different textured paper. I worked more with transfer paper and grasping the idea of how it works which made the process a little easier. I am most proud of incorporating a reflection of the artist but something I like as well. One thing I would change is the size of my self image making it bigger to take up more space. Throughout this project I have learned more about another artist and even more and their way of expressing art, their ideas behind the art, and all that you can do to make an art piece.
