As you can see, I love exploring different cultures, especially those of India. But when coming up with the concept of my concentration, I realized that what I was trying to accomplish, was how cultures connect and influence one another. When thinking about Indian culture and their arts, I saw a lot of intricate designs and bright, vibrant colors. Trying to put the pieces together, I came across the thought of Brazil and one of their big celebrations, Carnival. This holiday is one of the most vibrant holidays in the entire world, and displays many costumes with intricate designs. It was a small connection that made me think. This is one world, and we are all living in it. We may be different, but deep down, we all have similar goals and inspirations. Culture influences everything. When working on this piece something I could have worked on was making the feathers more bigger, taking up more space on the paper. I would have also worked on her shading in her chest area and again, work on the background. |
