Anna's Art Work

I created my art piece because I wanted to try to put my feelings into my art.  That is why I decided to draw a heart and make it to look a little scattered. My overall vision was  to understand the making of the limited palette painting. What I would like to communicate to the viewers is that there is some confusion in my heart. I feel like I achieved a few things while creating this work. I was able to show people how I feel. Compared to my previous work I honestly feel like my artwork was a lot better this time around because I put more time into it. If I had to pick an artist that my work fits in with i would say that it fits in with Sam Francis because he did a little bit of splatter painting.

As I started my work I first looked up how to draw a heart with spirals in it. After that I drew it out in my art notebook and transferred it to the piece of wood. I then made the colors I wanted to use and put it on the heart that was in my notebook. After that I painted the heart and used the splatter technique. My work shows that I am lost and all over the place but even with that I am still moving on. When I started to talk to my mom again I didn’t know how to feel I felt lost with no direction. I feel like my work can show many young adults that they can do anything even if they aren’t good at it. When making the painting the technique was important I strategically chose not to have the spirals in a specific place, I had them all over the place to show that I was feeling scattered. I was excited to learn how to do the splatter paint. I watched a lot of YouTube videos so that I could see what other people did while using the splatter paint technique.
