This piece is a visual description of my journey to art education. The collaged images are my artwork over the years; some of them were projects, others were taken out of my old sketch books. I included a couple of post-it notes from a previous art teacher giving me feedback on drawings. The comments represent how my skills progressed during my journey through art. The most important part of this piece to me are the two photos of my sister, Lauren. In both photos she is shown working on her own art. My sister has influenced me so much; she was my first un-official art teacher. When I was little, we would have little lessons together and she would make still-lifes for me to practice drawing in my bedroom. She is such an inspiration to me, and I always wanted to be just like her. Lauren helped me find my love for art.
This is a beautiful piece. Please describe its meaning on your blog.
ReplyDeleteNow the collaged pieces mean so much more to me. I am especially impressed with your focus on feedback has influenced your growth in art.
