Heyo, it's Anna. So my artist of inspiration is René Magritte. He was a surrealist painter who made objects defy gravity and almost make people question reality in a weird way. I want to use India Ink (because I must be something short of insane to use it for three projects in a row) around the acrylic color. The color will contrast the monochromatic blur of charcoal in the background. My ideas behind this sketch are not few, as I tend to try to put something of me in each piece I do. I wanted to express the disconnected feelings expressed through my disconnected limbs and show how blindly I fly and leap through life by blindfolding myself and give myself features not unlike a monkey or some fearless creature. Anyway, I was wondering if you had any opinions or feedback? Thanks guys!
I really like the concept you have for this; the disconnected limbs make the piece look really cool! If you could, could you explain to an uninformed dweeb what India Ink is? It sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And it is understandable as we all are uninformed dweebs at some point or another. India Ink is essentially black ink used for writing or drawing. It's really cool to play around with (or do what I do and pretend you're some top-notch Japanese calligraphist). If you get some on your hands, it'll be stubborn and refuse to wash out, but it has a really cool effect. I only got addicted to it after my professor at DCAD suggested we start using it for sketching portraits, so I'd highly recommend just dabbling in it a bit if you've never had the lovely pleasure of using pen and ink.
DeleteWoah Anna! I can see the movement already! A lot to definitely think about within this piece and it seems like their is a lot of room to really express yourself as the wonderful artist you are. What if the limbs were not only disconnected like they already are but misplaced as well? This may have a great effect on the viewer in putting this piece together like a puzzle and identifying a deeper meaning! Love it!
