I Communicate With my Work
I feel like I really was spreading a message with this piece of art. I chose to basically "steal" the idea of the Statue of Liberty, but instead of holding a torch, she is taking a selfie with an iPhone. This is sort of an interpretation of how America really is today; just focused on improving our self image instead of pursuing more important things. That was the message I was trying to get across with this piece, and hopefully people will understand what I'm trying to do here.
I Take Risks
I took risks on this project by choosing a very different medium. Normally, I would've chosen to use pencil for a project like this, but I decided to use chalk pastel instead to add some color. It was pretty hard to do, especially with adding value and getting all the small details. I finally ended up getting the details I wanted to, but the process was still very hard to do.
