One Way or Another
Paper can be used in varies of ways writing, drawing, printing, cutting, and wrapping, etc. For this project I used paper to make a idea look realistic in a three-dimensional perspective. First I used inspiration from a poem, “13 Ways”, by Wallace Stevens. I analyzed the poem to get a idea of what I think the poem is about from my perspective. The poem is used imagery and personification to describe whether the poem is describing a soul, bird, or nature. Based on the poem I understood that paper can actually mean something in many different ways. After the first two pieces it was actually hard to think of other ideas to create because I had to use one full white sheet of paper. I gathered my ideas based on my childhood and what represented me of what I liked. By observing my fellow classmates artwork they really went all out and were very creative thinking outside the box, which was something I struggled with just by needing to have fun with it. What I learned from this project is to have fun with the project, think outside the box, and observe. A personal goal I achieved through the process was don’t be afraid to go big and extra with my ideas. I would like to see my artwork in galleries and use them in my portfolio.
“Being different as to using vibrant colors and themes expresses who I am based on my art sets me apart from other artists. I design my art by using characteristics from my childhood and now.”
