This project was inspired by the works of William Kentridge and shows a progression of movement. The materials used in creating this piece were charcoal and colored pencil. The dimensions are 11" x 17". Some things I think I did successfully are finding a good concept and using both dark shades and light tints in the piece. However, there were a few problems I ran into. After looking at it for too long I forgot how to draw straight lines and at points got very frustrated. First I did the back ground and then lightly traced the images of the man and the first position of the woman. I put all the details on the soldier, colored the flag, and put a few details on the woman and then erase the first image of the woman. Next I lightly traced the second image of the woman, added a few more detailes and lightly penciled color on the pants and hair and then erased the second image. Thirdly, I drew out the third and final position of the woman and added all the details and color.
I really love the way this turned out! You really grasped the concept well, and even though you got frustrated, it's a great piece. I love the theme behind it as well, and I can really feel the emotion in it. great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jaclyn. You've captured the motion and the feeling.
ReplyDeleteThis piece turned out really well, I can also feel the emotion in your art. I love the detail of the door and the colors added. Goodjob!
ReplyDeleteI like the emotion you can feel in this piece. The way that she falls captures how she is taken by grief. I think it looks great. Well done!!
