Show-Worthy Photo

 

     In this photo, there are four flowers. Each flower has a different moment in a flower's life. There is emphasis on the flower in the center, representing the the outcome of each flower. It more defined and more focused compared to all of the other flowers. The other flowers are more transparent or are darkened. All of the flowers create a sense of movement throughout the piece.

     I believe this piece is 95% successful because... I just feel it in my stomach and I am very proud of it. However, the only part that bothers me is that the main focus is the center.

"Outside of the Box" Series

 

     In this series, I painted trash onto tree bark and placed it on different trees in different areas of my school. The main focus of these pieces is the trash and creates emphasis. The trees in these pieces also create movement and balance throughout the pieces. 

     I tried to represent the trash and pollution in our school and on a larger scale, the world and how it affects the plants and trees within our environment. I believe this was not as successful as it could be because I believe it does represent pollution well, but it does not work as a piece as a whole. I feel as though it could be better if there were different paintings for each tree.
