Different

For this quarter benchmark I decided to do something different based off of different patterns and designs I found around art. I call my art different because I look at it as a symbol for things people don't usually think about and what I think about when I'm bored, I see my art as almost a journey through someones mind and most of the inspiration for this came from me being interested in patterns found in mazes and different pieces or art like graffiti. It took over 5 hours for me to complete the final piece because of things like different elements and characters that I thought would be nice to add into the piece but didn't fit into the piece of art paper that I had; each and every part of my art has some sort of story starting with the tree at the very bottom. The tree represents life and higher learning from which the branches are moving out to share and spread what has been given, I thought about how people in families receive so many things from family members that those things are used to better ourselves. From there I drew flames colored and outlined in blue instead of the regular red to show a calming feel over the distribution of feelings we feel as human beings it's interesting because at the very corner of the flames that I didn't notice before is that there is what appears to be an eye which is very cool to me because as you move up the piece it appears that the eye is disappearing from the face and becoming engulfed in more mazes and puzzles almost saying that no one person can be defined as just a look in the eye. On the right side one thing that I am proud of is the angel wing because although I decided to do just one it shows a sense of freedom through the whole piece because of the clutter and confusion of the mazes of the patterns you still feel a sense of freedom and movement this is a piece of my art that made me feel as though this piece was very special to me because it flowed well with the "inner distraction" and made the piece overall interesting to look at. I really feel that my second quarter artwork was very well put together and would love to continue something like this through the third quarter.
