Independently Designed

The subject of my creation is a sign/design that has my friends name on it. My work was made using acrylic paint and pair of skis. I chose to create this specific artwork because I have friends who bought a condo at sugarloaf near mine and I wanted to give them a piece of artwork that they could hang up if they wanted it.

I used informal balance by adding different amounts of black and colors like blue to either side so that their name had some pop. My project evolved from two skis that a senior had previously made a design on, to my project where I painted them white before planning my final design.

The meaning behind my artwork is to create something that is for someone other than myself. My project relates to my life because I have been skiing for over a decade. I think my artwork could be stronger if I had done the sunset first and had stencils that I could use and wasn’t forced to hand letter the entire thing.
