Sustained Investigation #4

Size 5x8

This work is called RiceBowl. The idea behind this work is the using my daily life object to reflect on the topic of objects beijg upside down

The works are all made by scratching using a sharp metal picks and a scratcher. For the portrait I use the pick to sort out the idea and structure to follow and I used the scratcher to scratch out the negatives to make the face 3d with the shadows. For the Bottle, I rushed so I used only the scratcher and just got all the shadows to make it realistic.

I used the elements of line, balance. I used the principle of design of balance by making the the art with scratching away the negative. My project evolves from making the art more 3d, and making it more and more light to get more texture to it. The next step would be putting more into the background or making it even more detailed.
