BLIND PROJECT

This is called the "Blind Project" due to receiving an anonymous individual's personality, opinions, and relatively interesting ideas. My person has a very dark, naturalist, detailed, and caring ideology. My idea was to incorporate nature into my project so I chose a singular leaf. The idea in my art was that botanical art really shows the comprehensive and precise details up close which additionally relates to my person and their personality that can't be seen by one glance. I made this project by first drawing out leaves that I liked. Then picking one that spoke to me and I started tracing my pencil with micro pigment ink. Additionally I used stippling to show how intense the artwork can be. As well as incorporating that as my persons intensive personality. Overall I am comfortable with how the art turned out. One thing I wish to do better at is making the shadows more precise and make sure I know where to add the shadows next time. 

THE SIDE PIECE

As a first piece of art I went the route to incorporate feminism and detailed art that represents women who are viewed as objects or something to be used for. The overall purpose of this is to move people into acknowledging how women are treated by men. This is shown with an illustration of a man who can be seen as rich with a black coat, martini, and tall stance of an unseen ego.  To add, the woman is crouched and shows a very vulnerable and ashamed physique that signifies she is treated as an object or "side piece." The overall detail within the woman and her body is represented by wood, as she is a "side piece" table in a metaphorical sense. This artwork is all made out of ink pens and gives a very solemn and melancholy vibe that connects to the overall purpose of feminism within the world we live in.
