My final portfolio: Art History

Artist's Statement My work over the past year has helped me practice my skills as an artist, and also review and enjoy history from a new perspective. When I practice my art for this class I try to see many examples of similar work by the historical artists, and students today who are trying to re-construct different art forms. In this collection I liked how I used different materials, to help me experience how the world was, to those artists of history. In my work I try to use my skills of working with color, and try to capture the ancient artist’s methods, technology and techniques.

Christmas time lessons

Painting a Tree

I like colors. I think in colors. I had to do a class project inspired by a well known painting. So I picked one with a lot of color. Look at the painting below. Hope you like it. It is an abstract painting inspired by Monet. This tree feels lonely. It is still, wanting to get back home.
