My Artist Statement
The definition of art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Being a student of art has taught me a lot and my most recent project has taught me the most. A wooden box with shelves filled artifacts of personal importance was the greatest project I have ever made.
The materials used were wood, paint, and my artifact of personal importance. The color scheme was very bright and bubbly. The colors played off of my personality. Pink, orange, and coral, were my colors that I used. In order to fill the shelves I made wooden shapes. These shapes were a cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism. The elements and principals of space, color, and, shape. My biggest challenge was to create less negative space and where exactly the placement of the shelves would look the best.
The objects I chose were a basketball, a Pacers keychain, a cupcake figure, hand sanitizer, and nail polish. I chose a basketball because I have played basketball since kindergarten. Basketball shows my athleticism and determination. I chose a Pacers keychain because I go to a lot of Pacers game with my family and I have a lot of fun. I decided to use a cupcake because I love to bake and always bake with my best friend. My friends are the world to me and the cupcake really helped me recreate my friendships in my project. The hand sanitizer was used because the scent was Caribbean Life. I love to travel and the beach life. It is something I forward to each summer and the hand sanitizer allowed me to voice that in my art. Nail Polish is also seen in the form. I chose this because it represents my confidence and beauty. I am a very confident woman and I love to paint my nails. These artifacts are very important to me.
Inspiration is a big key in my creating of my artwork. My biggest inspiration is my elementary school art teacher. She always helped me if I needed help and her artwork was very engaging and beautiful. She made me strive to create the best work I could ever make. My inspiration for this single piece of artwork was one of my good friends, Lisa. She always like to paint and work with bright colors and this inspired my color scheme and shape colors. Generally, I love to look and interact with 3-D art. I like the physics and the thought that goes into creating 3-D forms. Overall, 3-D art is definitely the best type of art in my opinion.
In conclusion, my inspiration was my art teacher and my good friend, Lisa. My artifact of personal importance were chosen through what my personality was like and what my interest were. I used a lot of shape, space, and color in order to create the best effect of this piece. Overall, this piece was the best project I have created and it was the most entertaining project to create as well.
