My name is Aleksandra Rodneva, and I am a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for creating visual artwork. Traditional, mixed media, digital drawing and painting are her primary practices, with an extra interest in 2D animation, storyboarding, comics, and illustration.
The leaders of Centennial College, Scarborough Health Network, the Toronto Zoo, and the University of Toronto Scarborough launched the Scarborough Hero Awards in February and received over 250 nominations. Winners were selected by a jury of local City Councillors and community organizers, and to celebrate them, Fine Arts Studio students, including myself, created a mural art installation that was unveiled at the event titled Neighbourhood Garden.
The final product includes four panels that are about four feet high and five feet wide, three of which include the art that the students worked on. This was a group effort from the artwork and photography submissions, down to the creation of the installation. This included: Sidia Atabales-Schnitzler, Atiyah Azmi, Zia Foley, Leanne Gibson, Anne Kim, Yujun Oh, Anna Rasti, Tuncel Mustafa, Aleksandra Rodneva, Weijia Su, and Chris Wang.My part of the project was to take pictures of the Scarborough area, create vector images from the edited photographs and drawings, and create alterations of floral patterns.For more details about the project :
