Dora Budor's Inspiration

This quarter I did a drawing inspired by the artist I studied during quarter 3. Most of the sculpture or photographs she took were inspired by natural disasters, for example the movie twister. My drawing is of a camera recording a wild fire in the forest. The work i drew doesn’t communicate with my culture or my personal experiences. We don’t live anywhere where wildfires occur or any other type of natural disasters. Yes fires do happen but not in a very overly dangerous way where it would burn down half our city.  

For the tools I used for my drawing, i used pencil, coloring pencils, markers, and oil pastels. It was a very simple process for drawing this piece. I think this piece is very different from all my other pieces, they were things that I was into or they were drawing that symbolizes my childhood experiences. The artist that inspired this work was Dora Budor, she didn't do any certain techniques that made her work stand out, I just think her work itself was different from other famous artist. A new technique that starts using was how I colored with pastel charcoal crayon, I use my fingers to spread the color around. Im most proud that I came up with the idea that I should color the camera, I made my drawing look a lot better. I think I’d I could change one thing is that I would’ve pushed myself to draw something more detailed.
