The candle

My piece is a candle in a candle holder on top of a table. The name of this piece is the light in the night. The element and principles in this piece is color, balance, pattern, and unity.

        I used a variety of oil pastel techniques to get the results I was aiming to achieve. In this piece I used sgraffito, a blending stub, and oil pastels. It was not a easy project, it was frustrating and I kept having to start over. I over came this by making the art work how I wanted it to.

         I seen this piece on google and I was like "Hey Mrs. Mciver can I do this" and she said "Mmmm no its to easy don't you think Jamie" and then I told her my twist I was going to put on it. The message I was trying to show is that there is always a brighter side of things and not to let the darkness take control. 

         My goals as a artist is to grow my understanding of art to help me become a better artist. In this piece I did reach my goal as a artist. I am pleased with this piece because it is different. Also I feel like it also shows the peacefulness of the flame and the eagerness of wanting to burn.

          I learned a lot about oil pastels in creating this work. I learned new techniques for shading and blending. This piece turned out exactly as I thought it would. I love how the colors so easily blended together.

     The media of this piece is spray paint. I chose spray paint because of the way it looks when it dries. The tools I used for this piece are masking tape, spray paint and a clear coat of sealer. 

      My inspiration for this piece is Pablo Picasso. The way he used cubism. I also used shapes to convey diversity.  

 

The abandon town

In this piece I have created a abandon city. It is suppose to represent loneliness of the City. The title of this piece is "The abandon town". I used shading to create contrast and to balance this piece out with darker and lighter areas. 

    I began this piece with nothing more than a pencil a piece of paper and a ruler. This piece was a little difficult due to the positions of the buildings and the shade the buildings throw off. The techniques I used for this piece was shading. I had to shade some areas lighter than other areas.

     This piece is suppose to express loneliness and abandonment. There are so many towns and city's that are some how just forgotten about. In fact there are about 12 abandon city's world wide. The thing that inspired my piece is that there are city's and towns forgotten about and nobody knows why.

     My goals as a artist is to impact the world and make a change on how people view certain things. This piece did help a little for me to become a better artist. It allowed me to express my feelings about what I feel.

     I learned how to shade and do perfect contrast. The final piece is what I thought it would turn out to be. This Will help me make future decisions.
