Emotion

I’m calling this project the emotion: trapped. The subject is about circles connecting and the wild fire surrounding the dots. I chose to create this specific work because I ve never used wood burning to create artwork before and I wanted to try out new materials. I use a circle tip and a leaf shape tip for burning on to the wood.

I used a variety of techniques and methods including: Creative thinking, no sketching, and balance. While creating this work, I paid close attention to make the shape in order to make people immediately think of the emotion trapped. So I thought of a trap, and I thought of fire outside and you wont get out becasue there is fire outside, as much as you want to escape, you cant.

To add interest to my composition, I used balance, pattern... I like the way I burn the wood and showing off the strong emotion. However, however, this is my first time working with the burning process, the lines would be un straight. Next time I would use a ruler or make a line more carful.
