Graphic Word

The subject of my project is the word crown with creative attributes to it. This work was made by spelling out the word crown then making the "W" into an actual crown, turning the "O" into a jewel, and turning the "C" into a face with a crown. I also made jewels on the sides and colored the background gray. I did all of this with black pen, color pencil, and acrylic paint. I chose to create this specific artwork because I thought it would be cute and creative. Specific elements and principles i used in my artwork was, shape. I used shape in making the crown and jewels. I also used balance by placing the word in the somewhat middle and then filling the black space with jewels on the sides.

Some composition rules and techniques I used in my artwork was, framing by framing my artwork with the different colored jewels. I also used informal balance by placing the word not totally in the middle but fixing it with the framing of the jewels. I evolved this artwork by sketching out what ideas to use for this word, and then choosing this one to use.

The meaning behind my artwork is about the king wearing this crown, I think meaning is that money isn't about everything and that you shouldn't rely on money to get you through your life. This relates to my life because I feel that a lot of people around me or in society feel that money is everything and they don't realize that it really isn't. One thing I would change about my artwork is that the composition is really week and the colors are really weak. So I would add ore contrast to it if I were going to do this project again.
