At first i thought his idea was a bit lame if im being honest and i wasn't to into it but then it got really and i liked it.
Really gives me a whole new idea on what is considered art and what someone can do thats still looked at as an art project.
I believe that art back then was only paint on paper or only pencil drawings where really considered art. But now a days art is so much more open and diverse that people can really express themselves through many things.
History/Herstory/Theirstory Refection
Beauty Within I've always wanted to make an art piece that has a hidden item/meaning inside, like you really have to look at the art piece and notice you're only looking at half of it.
This project represents how I've always been viewing myself as someone who is ugly and not worth anything good in life but when I started looking at myself closely I started loving myself more and I've become the person I am today because I discovered that I am beautiful inside and out.
The main image I wanted to show is that they way you view yourself is completely different to way others see you, the outside of my art piece is dark and dull looking, the colours are harsh and not pretty. But once you open the box all sorts of bright colours catch your eyes and it fun and festive looking.
I used clay, paint ,fake flowers and small bendable wires to make the shape of the person sitting inside the box, I used clay because it is an easy material to work with and I was able to shape it how I please.
This piece is about self love and being able to learn how to love yourself little by little and not to view yourself as someone who is not beautiful inside and out, its a piece about overcoming a very difficult matter and how someones process of achieving their goal of self love is possible yet challenging.
I went through a lot of trials & errors until I got this artwork idea, I am really proud of how it turned out. Yes I believe there is some room for improvement but I believe it came out just as I envisioned it.
ill give myself a 8 for creativity I believe that the artwork explains it self very well and other won't have a hard time understanding it. Ill give myself a 7 for craftsmanship only because I could've done a better job at detailing the clay pieces and maybe adding more or using a bigger box, I wouldn't say its gallery ready but its a start.
Jordan Casteel paints her community
1)I believe that artists make Portraits preserve the memory of that Person's face Also to test their art skills With something thats challenging to improve. 2) For Me community is people bonding together over something and enjoying their time Chatting and meeting others. 3) I am part of the K pop community which I am very happy to be in because it is such a welcoming and amazing place, I had some amazing opportunities because of it and I made a lot of friends. 4)How Jordan uses the colors like she is not afraid to really experiment with different tones and bright colors. 5)Her community is very loving and very accepting with how she portrays her art, also her being in the black community and really representing them with beautiful art pieces. 6)Her art to me shows that everyone is different, and that humans all together are the same people no matter what their skin color is or how they look we are all just flesh and blood wondering the earth. 7)Her nude models are very well drawn but they are missing the genitalia because she doesn’t want to sexual the painting and says there is more meaning behind a person then what’s in their pants. Her fully clothed painted show people being together like brothers, parent and child, friends and so much more, and that is showing us that everyone has a different story to tell in my opinion.
