Life IS .. ?

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?
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!

  13. This 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.
    It's fantastic!
    Your sentiment is one very dear to me. I am very happy and reflect constantly on how lucky I am to be doing what I want, when I want. I don't take that lightly.
    Thanks for sharing ;D
