The question that guided my sustained investigation was, "How can I show beauty in something as simple as building?" I wanted to challenge myself to make at that my not seem so complicated but represents something beautiful. I want people to interpret my art in many ways and I want them to enjoy looking at my artwork. I picked building as my main focus point because I have always enjoyed drawing them so to be able to just to be able to draw them really inspired me to make my art portfolio.
My sustained investigation shows evidence of my question, "How can I show beauty in something as simple as buildings?" is if you look at anyone of my art pieces in my portfolio you can clearly see that all of them are building. They may all be very simple they're all unique in their own ways. In art piece titled, "Spiral View" I show how different and unique my creativity can be and theres some type of beauty that happens with my art. If you're looking very closely you'll be able to see it.
