02/01/12 Concentration






Statement 1: The central idea of my concentration is harmony between energy and the bodies that express it. I take interesting blurry pictures at concerts and transform them into an energetic memory that is visually satisfying using paint and chalk pastel.

Statement 2: I am going to kick my next painting up a notch by conveying even more energy. I have learned about using color and electrifying my paintings with my strokes.

These paintings are what I have been working on since the beginning of the year:

Concert

I enjoy painting people and interesting things. My goals and intentions were to make this painting look energetic and fun like concerts are. I accomplished them by using small and quick brush strokes. My painting is about a concert that I attended in September.
The most difficult challenge I had to face was making the crowd look energetic. I met the challenge by painting quickly and making the painting look messy but real.
I've learned a lot about using the paint to its full potential. If I use more paint I can move it around the canvas. Ron Donoughe is an artist mentor that I work from.
Lauren Cook is another student in my class whos painting is very special and luscious. She knows how to work with paint.
If I had a do over I would use more paint and make the painting thicker but I am still happy with how it turned out.
