How I am exploring one of the elements of art is taking my favorite part from each picture and exaggerating it. Each piece in my concentration will mostly be exaggerating the lines, shapes, and color - three of the seven elements of art.
For this piece, from Geneva, Switzerland, de l'eau which is a water jet that releases pressure from the lake which creates nuclear energy. Even though the water jet is awesome, the fact that swans were within two feet of me and modeling was even better. So I got the idea to outline it with a few colors to enhance the vibrance and accentuate the focal point of this piece. In this piece I added saturated colors outlining the swan while taking into account the spacing of the picture; I wanted the outline to be impactful and the first thing anyone would notice at first glance. Since Mr. Swan is slightly to the right I made each color in the outline thicker on the left side near its face - to hopefully create more balance. After I finished the outline I then started to recreate the photo in the rest of the piece. I ended up doing the sky next and used three colors to create the sky gradient, and drew some clouds while creating depth using a sky blue. The clouds were very tedious and got in the way of some of the boat pole things. ~This is where the rich bankers park their boats in Geneva.~ I used a lot of blending techniques to create the effect I did. I then realized I should include the Alps in the piece because they are in the picture, so I used a white and a dark grey and blended them together. At this point in the project I had realized this is not my ~aesthetic~ but I really liked how it was turning out. I love recreating images I take and making them into art. Now I also love adding a cool twist to it and making it an original piece. I was also scrambling for more time since I have very little left. After this point, the art will be rushed, I will be very stressed, and I will be unhappy that I art slow. There is no way that I will ever art at a faster pace than I do now. I am sorry, but it is the truth.

AboutThis page will be dedicated to my projects in art 4. This will be part one of a yearlong curriculum during my senior year. The contents on this page have a high probability to be added to my AP Art Portfolio at the end of the year, to send to College Board. I hope I make great art this semester so that next semester will be easier. Archives
