The Ideas for my art and drawing come from what I've heard or learned about, and what's going on in the world or my life. These ideas could come from an interesting lesson in science, a book I've been reading, or the time of year it is. Those are just some examples of where ideas come from. I like to make images of what I care about using color and value. Most of my pieces are very realistic even if the idea being portrayed is fictional. This can be both good and bad. I like other artists work that combines realistic elements with abstract parts. When I have tried to do this in my work going abstract with parts is different for me, and I shy away from it. I'm still learning though, and making abstract art is one of the things I am working on.
In art I want to try as many different things as possible. In the past I have done a lot of self portraits and two dimensional work. In the future I would like to try new ideas and more three dimensional work. As I mentioned above I would like to try and work on more Abstract style pieces. Trying different styles interests me as well. Trying new and different media is something I try to do when possible. This includes different papers, different paints, different pencils etc.
In my art I strive to be different. I don't want to do the same thing as someone else. I will take inspiration from others though. I just change the idea or style and make it my own. Trying to be different for me includes different types of projects. In the past I have done paintings on sandpaper and wood. Once I even got the chance to do a silk painting. (I was a lot younger, and I have wanted to do another ever since.)
I don't just like making art. Going to art museums fascinates me. I enjoy seeing all the different styles, media, and how art varied through time and location. It also interests me to watch other people making art. Sometimes in museums you can find people making copies of paintings, but my favorite type of art to watch being made is blown glass. On two occasions I have been able to watch glass being blown. The whole process captivated me. Watching the glass slowly be shaped as the color faded from an opaque glowing orange to a transparent hue. Glass blowing fascinates me, and someday I hope to try it.
In the end I want to try as many different things as possible. I haven't been able to do this yet, but I believe my artistic style and ideas will carry through to whatever I try.
