I Create Original Art:
This peice is original for many reasons. I used a source for inspiration, but still made my own ideas. We had to make a Pinterest board and do I saw many pictures of beautiful landscapes with a quote written over that. I used that to come up with the idea of putting the quote over top the world.
I used my own ideas in this piece because my topic was adventure. My artwork had to be based off adventure. And the first thing I thought of was traveling. When people want a fun time or adventure they usually travel or go see one of the worlds amazing wonders. So I decided to just make the world. It would symbolize adventure for all of these reasons. We also could not use paper as our base. So I chose cardboard because it would be easy to put newspaper on. I wanted to make my peice look kind of like a map. So I chose to rip up newspaper and kind of randomly place it on the cardboard as a background. After I painted over it, it got a kind of map look.
I Communicate Through My Work:
My topic for this piece is adventure. The whole point of it was for someone to look at it and think "adventure". It symbolizes adventure because when most people want an adventure or crazy experience they travel. And maps symbolize travel.
So I painted a map of the world.
I'm not really focusing on any issues in this piece. Rather I am focusing on good things. I am focusing on the plus sides of the world and trying to show that the world is good and adventuring the world is good.
This artwork expresses me because I love traveling! I find the world so beautiful and I want to see as much of it as I can.
