I’ve wanted a way to show off the pictures I take but I haven’t had any ideas, till now!
I took all my favorites from the pst few months and literally just made a gigantic collage. It is about eight feet by ten feet, and I might do more with it, but I really like it as it is.
We had an assignment in art class to take an old piece and re-vamp it. I combined three old pieces and made this. It was a really fun relief piece.
This is a big collage of famous actors and actresses. They are portrayed straight characters, as all actors have for most of movie and TV history. They are also all white, and play almost exclusively white characters. When they are playing a character of another race, they did it as a gross stereotype, instead of giving the part to someone actually of that race. Its pretty big, and I’m in love with the colors scheme.
This is sort of a companion piece to Handy Hor-Wal, I wanted to use some more ideas I had and so I combined elements of him with symbols I have used for myself to create a double dynamic self portrait of sorts. I like it and the composition is very different than my other pieces. It has a very commercial vibe which I think is perfect for the piece.
I have chosen FRAMED as my AP Art concentration. Each piece will be framed, in one way or another. For the first piece(s), I made a three part self portrait, where each frame acts as a foreshadowing of what is next to come. I’m really happy with the mixed styles and media I used, and I’m pumped for more FRAMED pieces!
This is acrylic and colored pencil on posterboard. The idea really morphed over time, but I am very very pleased with the outcome. This is a new favorite of mine.
This piece is meant to be a mixed media portrait (of my friend Jess); I used a collage of cut up polaroid, an eye from a portrait from last year (done in graphite), Sharpie and Copic markers and a number two pencil. I like the way it turned out, but I may do another mixed media portrait to hand in instead. My goal for tomorrow is to lay out my colored pencil still life.
These are line contour sketches I did from photos I’ve taken this year of myself and friends. This was created partly to finally do something with these really cool pictures, and partly cause of that expression “you are your five closest friends” etc. I love the final product with the black background.
