Black & White Painting

Digital Alteration media type="custom" key="12462792" For my painting study, I choose to replicate the various aspects of Umberto Boccioni’s painting titled, “Dynamism of a Human Body.” This piece interested me at first sight. It had a certain dynamic motion to it that was perfectly captured by Boccioni’s cubism inspired futurist style. Whilst replicating this painting, the shading portion turned out to be my favorite. It helped me see that the colors juxtaposed each other quite nicely. The shapes and space project didn’t turn out well, in the sense that the tissue paper was a difficult medium to use. These projects as a whole helped me to realize that there are a lot of valuable aspects that go into creating a successful work of art.

My idea is to do a combination of Breathe Carolina's album covers. This band is one of my biggest inspirations and their music has helped me through some rough times. The top is blank because that is what their first album had for the art. The bottom is their "Color Puke" and it represents their second album. The "Record Eye" in the middle stands for their third album. The titles of each album are placed in the respective locations.

I had decided to take my mask in an entirely different direction that I had originally planned. I changed my theme from Breathe Carolina to Homestuck. Homestuck is a web comic that recently found it's way into my life and has been the epicenter of my entertainment. Making the mask was an easy process. Painting it was difficult however, the mask had started to crack. I glued it back together and now it's looks fine. The background is an old picture frame I had laying around. I painted a space-like design onto it and then added the main Beta Kids. (Dave, John, Jade, and Rose.
