What Do You See?

An Irregular Heartbeat
This painting has no certain pattern or shape. Just random colours splattered everywhere and through the center is a white jagged line. Its suppose to represent a heartbeat. The message I tried to portray in those paining is that your life is colourful, be thankful for the vision your given and the heartbeat is to say your there, your alive.



Your Own Colourful Sea
In this painting, there are three fish and a whale. The water they are swimming in is in the pattern of a rainbow. ''ROY G B(i)V'' In this painting i tried to portray a family. The two top fishes are suppose to be the parents, and the one at the bottom. The whale is suppose to be a pet or a best friend. I would have added more fishes so that it would be like siblings, but there wasn't much room. I painted this photo in soft light colours so that it would represents that life is easy going and positive if you allow it to be. Don't make things complicated and just go with the flow! You have your family and friends around you who will always be there for you.

Are you Surreal?

So Close, But So Far Away

My Surrealism Portrait is very simple. It’s a photo of a sunset, taking from someone’s point of view by standing next to the water and on the sidewalk. In this assignment, we were required to place an egg, clock, streetlight and an egg with a clock on it. It was very hard finding a spot on this photo to place the objects! I had trouble trying to get it to balance and even out without anything taking the focus away from the egg (sun). Being able to change the opacity of the objects was very useful. With that I was able to somewhat an object in the sky and in the windows. In the sky there is an egg with a clock in it to show that time flies. I also tried to make it look like it was being pulled into the sunset because that means that the nights coming and the days over. I titled it, ‘So Close, But So Far Away’ because when I was placing in the streetlights it didn’t look right, but when I was fooling around with the sizes it suddenly looked like they were getting smaller the farther down the sidewalk it was. I then adjusted the lighting to the streetlights so that if you were to be standing there you could only see the shadow or figure of the streetlights. After I was finished and felt as though I’ve completed this assignment the first thing that came up in my mind was how close the sun was, but then again it was so far away. I believe this is by far the most complicated assignments we were given to do because it required a big imagination and patients.
