Project 1What has influenced my artistic decisions are personal experiences. I am constantly trying to educate myself further. I have realized that when I learn something new that my mind appreciates it highlights these things when I see them out in the natural world. I become more aware of this new thing and that is what my first project was created to depict. I think that others will interpret it in some way but I do not think everyone will understand. Not everyone has next-level thinking abilities and just takes things for what they are instead of trying to depict the true meaning of a piece of artwork. I know line is a principle of art and I painted a big black line across the entirety of the canvas to contrast the opposite sides. My focal point is the wide open book almost shining on the bigger and brighter side. I think your eyes are drawn to that first thing when looking at this piece. Another principle of art is contrast, which is clearly a principle of this piece. There are two opposite sides separated by a black line. I also put emphasis on the new learning part of the work by painting that in brighter and more attractive colors.
