My favorite piece that I have done myself, is my colored pencil piece that I did at the end of last year with the wizard in his study. And I chose Norman Rockwell's piece of himself painting himself using a mirror. I like my piece because of the thought process I had while making the piece. I had an entire story about the wizard and his life as well as his connections to all of the artifacts in his study. I like this Rockwell piece because it feels really goofy to me, and I like seeing that in art pieces, it allows for the artist's personality to show through. The only thing that I seems similar between these two pieces is that they both show the artist's personality through their piece. However mine is very fictional, and Rockwell's is very non-fictional. In fact I LOVE making things that are not real, and Rockwell is famous for portraying everyday events in America. I suppose that these pieces connect to my love of personal expression, while remaining an individuality. Which includes being goofy and putting what you love into your art pieces.
I totally agree with you, I think putting your personality and having a laid back piece is great and it is very easy to enjoy by the viewers. By the way, I really like your Wizard piece.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very interesting painting you chose, by Rockwell of him painting himself. I like the fact that he s making a different face into the mirror than he is painting of himself. I also really enjoyed the wizard you drew with colored pencil! I think that you are very good with your art work and having the story behind them.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Yo where's your picture at? I should mine up too..
ReplyDeleteI like this picture as well, it's funny. I agree that it feels a little goofy, I see why you like it. It looks crazy real to me, like a photograph or something. And then he has a realistic looking sketch..which is like a sketch of a sketch..
