This quarter we tried to do a modern interpretation of Chinese Painting, and here's the painting I did for my end of year project :D My initial idea was to create a full length rectangle and add puzzle pieces to resemble a shattered full-length mirror. I was also going to paste a plastic figure in the centre to signify an individual questioning her identity.
Each puzzle piece was created with a different material/method/medium (ex: candle wax, cabbage core, string). For me, it meant that an individual cannot be defined with a single element, and each medium is representative of a person's emotions, personality, and the ups and downs of life. PS: this is a full length art piece.
Accidents along the way... XD
1) While I was creating my art piece with a candle, dripping wax onto my paper, the paper was set ablaze because I accidentally touched it with the fire. We ran to the sink and the whole thing lit up in flames. Luckily, with a few rags, we were able to extinguish it. Our art teacher didn't even blink at the incident because apparently it happens more often than we think.
2) I cut out all the puzzle pieces and placed them side by side for two class periods. HOWEVER, the puzzle pieces flew away after I turned on the fan. :'(
3) I didn't notice the glue bottle was uncapped, so the glue went all over my pants, shirt, and hair. What a stick dilemma it was.
Yes, it's different from my initial concept, but due to time constraints, I had to simplify my design ;P
The BEST part, I think, is the experimentation, trying to create new patterns with absurd materials.
