Mona Lsa (not a typo)

 


Since the Mona Lisa is mainly known for the subject's beauty and eyes, I decided to re-create it without the eyes and added brighter colors to the background to shift focus.

'Caught' the Tiger by its Tail

Image
What does this Artwork represent?      This piece is part of my AP 3D Studio Art Portfolio and represents "Life on Land" (SDG 15)*. The animal behind the curtain is the Bengal Tiger, India's national animal. With around 2,500 individuals left, this species is close to extinction. The red and yellow cloths show the process of destruction of both the tiger and it's habitat. The roaring image of the tiger indicates how the tiger is so much stronger than us humans but we're the ones that are "closing the curtains" on it.  *In 2015, the united nations set 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to achieve by 2030. These are set around issues the world is currently dealing with and need to be resolved. This piece focuses on SDG 15, which is "Life on Land". Why the title?           The phrase "to catch a tiger by its tail" is used in reference to taking control over something that is threatening or powerful. Which is exactly what we humans h...

Emotion in Art - IB MYP5 E-portfolio (Piece 1)

Image
  Layout:  Artistic intention:      Through this layout, I plan to bring out the concept of an overload of emotions and not able to decide on one of them to fully express. Each of the flowers show emotions in the language of flowers, for example, the lavender represents purity, the daisy represents attachment, the rose represents affection, the gentian represents gratitude, the lily represents virtue and the heather represents solitude.

Exploration: 1) Hands Drawing:      I tried drawing and shading the hands with soft pastels so that I get a basic idea of where it should be lighter and where the hands should be left dark. Filling in the hands also made me realize that I have to work on my attention to detail specially...

Creative Cubism - Cover Art

Image
What does this Artwork Represent?      This artwork is a portrayal of emotion in art. The circles on top represent open and positive emotions whereas the squares represent closed and negative emotions. The colour scheme has also been chosen accordingly. The background shapes are all the colours of the rainbow plus more, however the shades used are lighter for the circle and darker for the squares.      The cloud shows a thought and is shades of grey representing that any thought is dull without emotions. Also the fact that the cloud is in the middle of the negative and positive emotions means that every thought in your head is either negative, positive or a transition between the two.      For example,  if one thinks of something from a negative perspective(starting from the squares), one thought(the cloud) could act as a transition from a negative to positive perspective and vice versa. Considering Perspectives      ...
