Ashyn Bright_Copper_Artist Statment

 well i was going to do many different project when it came to thinking of this recycling theme. but i could never think of the exact right one for me to do. so in the beginning i was kind trying out different thing at home. i would start to paint but throw it away. i could figure out what i wanted to do for the longest time in this theme of using recycled things and expressing why we need to recycle so bad. so what i had my grandmother do was get a recycled canvas.

 i had the canvas at my house for a while because i didn't know what or how i was going to do this art project as i said in the beginning. but i finally brought it to school. i painted the canvas white all over again to make it cover the background. at first i was going to us the background that was already on the canvas but then i wanted to us all different colors so i just painted it white all over again. i wasn't exactly sure what i was going to do to this canvas after i painted it white, so i just got some paint and i just started painting the canvas with every color i could find. in doing this i came up with an abstract painting that i called The Nothing.

 okay so i came back one time when i was mad to paint because i paint when i am upset and i forgot to take a picture of what it looked like before. so i painted over it and took a picture of what i did then. then i took another picture of what i did the next time of course. im still working on this one painting because i feel as though it isn't done yet. i just feel like there is always something else i can add to it.
