3D Art Final
I am an artist because of my desire to create; to take the images that are jumbling around in my head and share them with the world. Art is the refinement and usage of translating your ideas to other people. I aim to improve my artistic ability in order to depict my thoughts in a universal language. My inspiration comes from my surroundings, although I like to pretend that it comes from my own originality. I've based many shapes and forms for artworks off of random items on my desk, such as hats, toys, and souvenirs.
When I start a project I always begin with a singular focus. The materials, techniques, and styles are built around it in a complementary fashion. For example, when I started the plaster hand project I knew I wanted to create a bear. One spark of inspiration led to another and next I thought, "Hey, wouldn't look cooler if the hand was shaped like a fist?" so then the rest of the piece become focused around evoking anger. During the creative process I try to create an avalanche of ideas and organize them in a such a way that they all fall into one cohesive place.
For the past couple years I've routinely drawn and created various types of artwork but only recently did I ever create any original pieces. Over time, I've been moving away from inspired works or fan art and having my own ideas. Most of the artist that I take influence from are display many of their works on Twitter, such as Chris Niosi, Emilio Lopez, Peter Chan, and Lee Petty. I have grown much more familiar with creating forms and shapes for art, but I still need to improve my knowledge of color and familiarize myself with the quirks of choosing a color pallette. I hope to continue to learn and grow as an artist so that I can express my thoughts in a universal way.
