Artist Statement:
This is my piece. Being a mandatory art project that I had to do from home, I wasn’t super excited to make this piece. But throughout my process of drawing my ideas to actually putting something on the canvas, I started to become more connected with the project. I wanted to focus on the ocean because fish have always been a favorite animal of mine, and I wanted to capture a good and bad side of the ocean. In the early stages of the project I had an old skate friend that lived here hit me up over Instagram. He moved away to go to art school, and later on to become an art teacher. We talked a lot about art, and somehow he ended up even sending me a package of small pieces and doodles. He is a great and diverse artist, making crazy collages, paintings, or even digital design. My favorite’s are his collages, splattered with paint, messy words, and magazine cutouts. So I got super inspired to take my collage to another level and try things I normally wouldn’t. Like drawing and painting words, or the fish itself.
Week 6,7, and 8: Creation
As you can see, my ideas and process have changed quite a bit since the final design of this project. I knew I was going to do the collage all along and I'm happy the way it turned out. Except for one problem, right after modge podging, I noticed I had a grammatical error in the collage and I need to fix that. Where my idea has changed it to actually paint a living fish on one side and the bones of that fish with trash entangled in the bones. Excited to finish this project.
Week 5: Final design
Even though this is super rough, it was really helpful for me to put down my materials on my canvas and see what my product might look like. After seeing this, my plans are to find better pictures for my collage, and I want to find facts or statistics to include in my collage. I also need to collect more trash and think about how I am going to attach my trash to the canvas.
Week 1,2, and 3: Doodles and Ideas
After looking at all my drawings, I am happy about all of my ideas but I think I'm going to be choosing between a collage/trash wave and sunset, or another collage/trash cut open fish.
