So the other one did not scan so I have it on my sketchbook. But this one is a sunrise because I feel like we focus mostly on sunsets in Colorado

Concentration Series

For me as a girl and being around the women in my life has taught me who I want to be. The most important person in my life is my mother, she has taught me to be strong, not to give up, to work hard, to be gentle and kind. To be caring and sympathetic, love and trust as much as you can. I used natural symbolism to look depict the roles of femininity. I like taking my own life experiences and turning them into art. I love using photography, but I also adding an unnatural piece of personality to the photography through digital brushes. The concentration means a lot to me because it shows the natural characteristics that women have that makes each of us special and unique. Everyone has important woman in their life; mothers, sisters, spouses and daughters hold special roles in society and our personal lives.

The concentration evolves from only digital brushes with the idea of fire and power and moves throughout the concentration to the twelfth piece which is photo pure. I started with bigger stronger hair and slowly they got smaller and faded out until the end where there is nothing. I worked with aspects of womanhood and femininity that could be relatable to others, from the confidence demonstrated in life situations in piece four, the nurture of a mother shown in work nine, or the feisty anger that every girl has demonstrated in work eight. The feelings  of delicacy and gentleness in ten and optimism in two, brought together by clarity in five and peace in eight. The protection and love that is shown for the people a woman surrounds herself shown in seven and eleven, or the demand for trust and respect shown in the second image. From the beginning with power to the end with Beauty women and feminism is both complicated and shows the aspects that show a woman’s true nature.

Mid-Progress Critique

For me my family is the most important thing in my life and a huge deciding factor in deciding where my journey will take me after high school. The most important person in my life is my mother, she has taught me to be strong, not to give u, to work hard, and love and trust as much as you can. I like taking my own life experiences and turning them into art. I love using photography, but I also like adding an unnatural piece of personality to the photography through digital brushes.

I like the concentration because I feel it can relate to everyone and that mothers are the base of who we really are. And I feel like nature is a good way to show other traits of mothers.

Weekly Challenge: Opposites

I went to the Butterfly Pavilion this weekend! It was so fun, and had changed so much since I was a little kid. The pictures were good, but it was really hard to make them be still, and get the lighting right.
