Art Update.

    Last semester I had joined the drawing club in hope of getting new aspirations for my next art piece, and my supervisor Mr. Mactavish introduced to a new artist; Francis Bacon, of which many of his pieces were abstract, and me being more of a detailed artists, liking to draw from real life and abstract was a weak point of mine (increased awareness for growth), it interested me, and I decided to experiment a bit with some of his work.
    Going through his book a couple of his pieces really stood out to me, and really interested me (shown below).

The style, and way of art used in this pictures really was something I wasn't used to (as I am more a detailed shading artist) so I decided to challenge myself a bit and see what I could produce (undertaking new challenges). Using the middle picture and some of my ideas about society and life, I decided to make a piece based on what I saw society as. While producing the piece, I had a couple of difficulties, not with the working of the piece itself, but the abstract of it. Since it was new to me, I had some difficulty on really how to capture it on to my transcription, so I had to experiment around with that until I could settle on one I liked (showing perseverance and commitment towards the drawing). But finally I came out with a piece (shown below), which I was particularly proud of, since it was only one of the few abstract pieces done by me. As for the interpenetration of the picture, I'll leave that up to you.

     

     Next semester (the 2nd semester), I wanted to try something new in the art side (undertaking new challenges), and decided to sign up for surface embellishment, where we learn different and new skills (such as: how to make stencils, laser printing, stitching, etc.) along the course and combine them all to create a t-shirt the way we want (developing new skills). I thought it would really cool and interesting to experiment with different sides of art, instead sticking with something that is familiar and comfortable to me, and try and push myself outside of my comfort zone.
