My Art

My art is an enigma. It is always changing. Class requirement normally will normally push me into a certain theme. However, as a student I don’t think I have explored enough options, techniques, and art forms to actually find a specific overall theme for my artwork. Themes will occur from what I have interests in. From that point I would find a way to fit it whatever I have chosen into the requirements of my teachers. College right now is the only place I really produce artwork at the moment since as an art student I take around 3 to 4 art courses. That’s where I have plenty of time to be creative.

I have had many different themes. In AP Studio it was reusing materials. While I took printmaking my theme was outer space. I just created the silliest thing in sculpture 1: giant teeth.  I had to do realism while learning painting 1. There are particular things I am attracted to and tend to be drawn toward. I really like geometric shapes, linear lines, and symmetry. Symmetry had been a problem for me. I always use to like things centered on my page until my printmaking teacher force me to become asymmetrical. After that I learned to reposition parts of my composition. I also really liked art that is simple and clean until I tool painting one where I had to turn in “alla prima” painting for homework. During I was forced to become messy but neat: organized chaos. I was happy to know that I could be messy. I must’ve been stubborn in my ways before I came to Towson.

I feel that from trying different forms of art (sculpture, painting, photography) that I will develop themes that I would not normally take a liking too. Perhaps I would even be able to take themes I have already done in different media and construct it in a different one. I really think themes and ideas are limitless. I always have inspiration or random ideas. Of course my ideas are propelled by my interests, events in my life, and current events in the world.
