My painting environment

Ferguson

This is my social issue art piece, it is over Ferguson. The background is newspaper to symbolize how close we will get to the event. The main focal point is the "Shot Six Times" to symbolize that it all got it's start over the death of Michael Brown. It shows the black citizens standing on one side while  the white cops stand on the other.  The viewer is one of the black citizens, standing up against an overruling racist cops of Ferguson. To add more to the piece I sprinkled gun powder over the piece and added six shells and bullets to show how Michael Brown died. I painted the sides with black spray paint to also symbolize how some people would tag buildings to get their words outspoken to many. Overall I believe it is a powerful piece and has achieved what I wanted it to.

Fu*k Bob Ross

 

This is my abstract/realism background. I absolutely hate Bob Ross and I hate how he try's to show you how to make it the most beautiful landscape. I made it very abstract to stick it to Bob Ross and show that landscapes do not have to be outstanding to give the viewer the image of beauty in simplicity. If you look close, on the left and right you have a cliffs that are behind the two trees in the middle with the moon shining in the back left. Its green background shows the blackness of the trees while showing the moon shin through in a hazy light. It does have its downfalls, like the fact due to that it is a bit messy. I should of cleaned it up some but it just looked better messy and I painted back over what I tried to fix. Overall, I believe that it is a good piece.

Van Gogh portrait

This is my impressionism piece,  and I absolutely hate it. I was in a mood and I decided to keep going in that direction for it to have the same effect. There is not much I can say about it, rather than the background is the best part and I should of just left it as a drawing instead of painting the face. Overall, this is a pretty bad piece.

There could of been a lot of things done to it to make it better, but as I ventured into fixing it the worse it got. It just started going downhill and there wasn't much to do about it. Every artist has a drawing or painting that they are embarrassed of, and this one is mine. This piece has already been broken in half and going to be added in another art piece where it belongs.

The monster within us all

This piece was made during a Halloween party in class. It was a printmaking type of thing that I have never attempted. The first round, my picture turned pout bad and I ripped it off and placed my friends on it, in my place. That time it is hard to see it. When looking close at the piece you can see my friend as a pig covered in the deep background, and a bright red, upside down cross. But in the front you see a stencil and it shows light hearted things. This represents a battle for the subconscious under demonic possession. In the deep background a demon lurks, but in the front it shows socially acceptable things, childlike in nature. This in a sense shows the duality of man. Overall, this is piece is good.
