In Progress Piece
Final PieceIf you gave a monkey caffeine and then told it to make a piece in a day, this would be the result. I am so disappointed in myself. I created this over thanksgiving break and I had high hopes in the beginning but trying to finish this in lieu of my large southern family was almost impossible, granted that is no excuse. Anywho I am over with the self deprecation and it's time to discuss that technical aspects and overall theme of the piece.
I wanted to convey the message that the industrial world (the monocles) affects the natural world around it. Thinking back it would have made more sense to have inside the monocle black and white and outside the circles in color. That would represent how a lot of natural resources are destroyed in the making a large building. However, For aesthetic reasons I did the opposite. On a technical level I believe I created nice contrasts in the colors, however I hope to go back and push the highlights. I would also like to go back into the piece and sharpen up the circles and bugs, in my mind they look sloppy. I think this piece has a nice textural element as well. While the piece may not be something I'm necessarily proud of, I can learn from it. In the future I will slow down and be patience. When dealing with black and white contrast I will let the black layer dry before I lay down the white and when working on a smaller scale canvas go a little simpler with my design. I hope to revamp this in the future, but for now I must leave it alone.
