This is My Final Work. Thank you class mates for the inspiration when sharing your projects and thank you Erla, once again, for the class and challenge!
14 day challenge: Mixed media artwork based on your inspiration
Hi Erla and fellow classmates.
I am so thrilled Erla is giving us a change to do this challenge, just what I need to get things done!
The Concept:
I did the Super-Cowboy in previous class and I plan on making another artwork within the same concept. This time, the girl. Stereotypical Image, the princess and a ballerina. (Last Artwork was the boy, superman and a cowboy)
My daughter is an inspiration to me in this project, because she is this type, the princess and the ballerina. But that does not define her. She isn´t a ballerina or a princess, just a normal happy girl with dreams and imagination. Something that hold hands through your whole life.
These are the photos that inspired me for this project. The everyday-girl in her raincoat or at the frozen pond, like a ballerina, the other two more dreamy.
Here below is my drawing and color-pallette. I used the pink in the background for the boy so I will try a mild tone of blue for the background of the ballerina. I have her wearing a raincoat and boots, not ballet shoes to make her more of a carefree kid, who is just out playing and having fun with her imagination.
SUPER-COWBOY
Thank you Erla for taking the time and make this class, it was a fun challenge.
This taught me how little I know and how much there is to learn. All the brushes and settings are something I want to dig deeper into.
I will also from now on keep my eyes open for nice texture in the environment to take pictures of and make a special folder to collect it in.
I used a photo I took of a young boy. It represents the stereotypical dream of young boys wanting to be a superhero and even better, a superhero-cowboy.
I made this project with a pink background, pink being a "girlie" colour,a symbol for the softer side of men they often are not allowed to show or those who are working on their self-image and even sexual identity.
I also made an orange background for a more neutral image.
