Life IS ..?
Prosess:
I used watercolor paper Canson graphic N1, watercolor, black liner Pigma, newspaper and magazine with photos.
First, I collected a collage, than I draw the details over it using watercolor and ink.

The idea behind the collage:
I live in Europe, we there is no war, but our life is absurd:
every day the same grey race against time : work - home, day - night ...
What for? why?

The reasons for creating:
I would like you to stop and answer for yourself:
Are you doing what you really want to do just now? are you happy? do you have a dream?
Are you doing what you really want to do just now? are you happy? do you have a dream?
What is your life?
This collage is the 2nd week assignment from "Introduction to Art" course.
I received 25/25 :)
and here is my peer's comments:
additional comments or feedback.
peer 2 → I liked the art's simplicity and strong use of colour. The slight transparency of the figure's hair is a good way of expressing how she is fading into grey, and a good contrast for the strength in the colour of her glasses. The artist statement, although very different from others I have looked at, is very clear and concise about the artwork. There is a good, illustrative feel to the work. The craftsmanship is strong, and the off centre composition is effective.
peer 3 → Wonderful! I just ask myself the same questions! Very beautiful!
Love this piece...very dynamic and creative. I am happy to say that, yes, I am very happy! I believe I am finally learning to do just what I want without worrying so much what others think. It's been a long journey, but so worth it. Happy PPF! -janice

ReplyDeleteThis is a wondrous piece Natalie. My Life is extraordinary in its capacity for pausing and reflecting. I sometimes catch myself hurrying up and have to just s l o w w a y d o w n.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is so clever Natalie. I think you've done an amazing interruption of looking out of the grey and to a vision that reflects your dreams.
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic!
