individual project

for my individual project I decided to do a large drawing. I started over a lot of times because I couldn’t really decide “what” I wanted it to be. First I thought large panels of scribbles, but then I realized I could really do something I WANTED to do. From there I started drawing characters and just kind of went with whatever I felt was working. Honestly, with projects like this, it’s hard for me not to be happy with out it turns out, but they always feel like I could do more. I feel like with this I did what I wanted to do. I used sharpie, pastels, hot glue, string, collage, and cotton stuffing stuff. I really wish I had had white news print, but I feel like the brown works well with the pastels. I can see why someone would think this looks. like a kid drew it or something, but I think thats’s the part of it that really makes it uniquely mine. Overall I think I was happy with it, I’m still on the fence.

I definitely thought about our use of collage, as well as the idea of a drawing with actual three dimensional qualities. I always think I incorporate artists’s I’m researching styles in my work, but I feel like this stays pretty true to my own style. Installing was pretty easy, but transporting it from Fremont was annoying due to the size and durability of the paper.
