Piece #11


In Piece #11 I wanted to portray the idea of an individual moving past the media's influence and developing her own idea of what she believes. To do this I used the composition of a girl looking at the open door. She is turned away from the viewer rejecting outside influences and looking toward the open door of opportunities. I did this drawing on top of CitraSolv-ed images of magazine pages. I covered up most of these though because I wanted my concentration to move toward the idea of rejected and surpassing the media's influence.

  1. Hey Mary...so I like what you did with this one. Your contrast is strong, I love the yellow in the doorway, and you really resolved the hair very nicely. I like how I can also see citra-solved media, but barely. I think your idea would make more sense if you did more transfers in that white area above the head..then people would really get your idea. Awesome.

  3. I really like that you changed the person to a girl because it represents you more. I also like the opening of the door because you did a really good job showing that she is moving forward from society.

  4. this one is super. It is personal. If each piece in your concentration was a snapshot from a move, this would be the "cliffhanger." You never know whats behind that door! i like your use of color and texture for emotion, and your drawing of hair has improved as well.

  5. Good work, Mary on this piece. I agree with Daniel that you should do some solid citra-solve transfers on top of the door to further emphasize your point. Because they are so faint, your message is not as clear visually as your written description.
