Summer Work
At the beginning of the summer, I had plans to make a complex collage with materials I found from the beach. I really wanted nature to be portrayed as the major concept of my piece. But, as the summer progressed, I became so busy with work and family matters that I found myself dreading to do my art summer work. I chose to change my idea completely and make my pieces with only paint. Simplicity was the key to my pieces because I felt that if my pieces were simple, I could take a break from the hectic world around us. The technical aspects of my pieces are very poor, and I am aware that I could have changed many things about my pieces. I was not as well driven as I hoped that I would be and I hope that my future pieces, I am able to create more works with better conceptual evidence that has more meaning to me. I hope to use more materials in my pieces and try to steer away from the very simple pieces I have created in the past. Including personal objects in an abstract way is an idea that I hope to include in the future.
Because this work was meant to be done during the summer, I completed the entire set of works outside of school. Compared to my past work, I would say that I did not spend as much time on my works as I could have. Worth ethic is something that I know I need to work on.
When creating my work, I faced the challenge of inspiration. I did not have an envision that I knew I wanted to paint. In a way I waited to create my works because I honestly didn’t have a clue what to paint. I was waiting for the inspiration to come to me so I pushed it off. In my future work, I hope to incorporate personal items in a way that are special to me. I want to become a better artist and I want to make sure I enjoy making it and the final piece.
If I were to grade myself I would give myself a low B. I know that I have the potential to be a much better artist. Though there were many things that I did not like about my pieces, I still am happy with the outcome. The simplicity and color made me happy and I am not ashamed in any way of what I made! I hope to improve in the future but this piece is not a dissapointment and I am glad I made these to use as a comparison for the future.
