I created a tree that represents life, death, war, and peace. In Maori culture, black and white are used quite often so it meant a lot to me to use them. However, red is also used frequently but I couldn't think of a way, that I liked, to use it in this painting. To me it feels like a human wouldn't belong in this paitning. It feels like it something out of reach, you can just see it on the horizon but you can't get over the hill. Using the dark black as the sky is really a statement to how blindly we live in this world. The white tree is something you can see but you can't reach.
EYEBALLS!!!
Yay, I love my eyeballs, they're just the right amount of creepy. Of course the last picture, with the face, was not my idea but I really like it. It makes me laugh and it made the eyeballs look good.
In all these projects I would not cange on little thing. Although I have a tendency to do things a little differently, I usually get a result that makes me happy. I feel bad for my teacher who has to put up with it. But, I know if I tried to do art in a way that wasn't me I would die inside. Of course it's not like anything I do is really that unique, but it's still what I do and that's good enough for me.
