08. Art Inspired (midterm)

ARTIST STATEMENT:

This project was for our midterm, and it made up for a large portion of the grade. For this, we had to take inspiration from two artists we had previously studied and make our own original work. coming into the project, I only knew that I wanted to do something with eyes, as I love to draw eyes. Then, also using inspiration from an album cover that I really like, I decided to do two sides of a face, one with perfect makeup and and the other with really messed up makeup. I really enjoyed the challenge of splattering the paint and making the Irises. One difficulty was the fact that I realized after I had started that there wasn't very much water colors in the house and I had to deal with what I had.
