Hey guys! My theme is societal pressures and their effect on the youth. This is a car board box on a street with a brick wall behind it. It is kinda hard to see but on the wall is written in graffiti text, "IT ALL ADDS UP" that will be lime green and I will paint details on the wall and box. It represents this pressure that if you don't do well and continue not to do well that all it will all accumulate and snowball and lead you down the wrong path to possible failure. So the box represents the extreme of homelessness that I think people fear because they fear not making enough money to support themselves if they don't make the correct decisions or put in the work. I realize this is long as I'm writing it.... Anyway, questions: should I add things to the street around it or on the wall? I think it is coming off crafty and not, well, nice looking. Also, Should the words be in lots of colors or just one? Thanks to those who read through all this :)
Lily~ I would do a few colors for the graffiti. I rarely see it in only one color, there's usually two or more colors that are bright and work together. You could maybe add so empty cans and bottles to the street, and maybe a ragged blanket with the box?
ReplyDeleteI would stick with one color for the words. I also think you should push your values around the box and where the edge of the ground meets the wall- ( push your darks). I like how the palette knifing looks like bricks. Keep going, you're doing well :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you used your resources with the cardboard! I really like where this is going with the graffiti on the walls and the box on the street. I would add some more details on the actual street like trash and stuff. Many times you see graffiti with just one solid color with different values to it unless they're two separate ideas or phrases.
