In this mixed media piece, I used 5 different mediums. The first thing I did was use tissue paper and glue to make grass and the door. Next, I used shelf paper and magazine cutouts to create the inside of the house. The shelf paper is the walls of the house and the paintings and clock are from magazines on the inside. On the outside, the fire and drone are also from magazines and layered on top of the tissue paper. The kids who are staring out the window are drawn with pencil and then I added oil pastels for color and texture.
My word was disaster. So in this picture, the kids are watching in horror as their neighbor's house is burned down by a drone. The view is from the inside of the house, but the perspective is weird because of the circumstances of the disaster. My piece reminds me of M.C. Escher's crazy art. Since my in process blog, I painted my piece with glaze paint and sent it to fire it again.
I think the color turned out successful because it is so shiny. I can see the details very well. I think it looks very good, so there is nothing I would change about it. |
