- (c) Independent Component Log
- (d) Portfolio
Interpretive:
I believe my art was a total of 30 hours because I did not rush through just to finish. I corrected all the mistakes for example if the angle of the head was off I would erase everything and start over. Or If the nose, or eyes were uneven then I would have to go back and fix it. My last example will be the sketch that I painted. At first I wanted to make it black and white. I painted all her hair black and realized that it looked extremely dead. So with the suggestion of my sister I repainted everything to add colors on her hair instead of making it dark. I believe my art is worth 30 hours because I really do put a lot of effort into my drawings. My father and I are the only artist in the family that focus more on portraits. I put a lot of effort into them because my father never spends enough time sketching me, he's just created some type of Picasso drawing. I want to be able fully capture the subject I'm drawing until it is perfect.
Applied:
The component helped me better understand the foundation of my topic by all the different art that I produced. For example, with Mexican folk art, there are many different ways to make your art. Whether its your own creation or someone else's. I learned that you need to experiment with all in order to find what your goal in art. Like my father, he experimented with cubism, surreal paintings, realist, simple drawing like Picasso etc. After experimenting with all, you need to find where you belong whether its a combination of two or three art techniques or just one. Used techniques that I would've never used before. For example, distortion, I would've never used this type of art because I do not like the whole idea of distorted faces but I learned how to do it and tried it out. Another example will be Posada's skeletons, these are really popular in Mexico. Some people master the whole idea of skeletons but some don't. The drawing helped me understand how important it is to have a good quality skeleton in order to stand out from all the other artist.
