i chose him because Having begun his career as a political cartoonist, Damián Ortega brings a honed wit and intellectual rigor to his sculptures, installations, and videos. Composed of everyday objects and materials. his artwork is very abstract and uses random objects to create very unique artwork. his sculptures are not what you would expect when someone says the word. he uses good camera angles and sets up his pieces very well.
this is my figurative head piece. for this piece i made a head with a tree growing out of it. for the tree i cut thick poster paper and cut out the design of the tree. to hold up the tree i cut a slit in the inside of the head to put the bottom in and wrapped the trunk with wire to keep it stable. for the colors i mainly used green, black and white. i shaded the tree from light green to black.
i think the piece was successful because of the color scheme and the style of the head. if i could change something i might make the tree 3-D and a little smaller. i used acrylic paint to give it a rough look. i also might have gave the head some relief designs. this is my lynx head! for this project i learned how to create hollow objects and animals faces. i also learned how to makes eyeballs with eye lids. the eye lids make the piece a lot more realistic. i also chose to use acrylic paint because it isn't shiny and looks more real. i can also get more colors with acrylic. i think it turned out successful and looked realistic. the face structure makes it successful.
if i could change something i would have shaded the colors on the face more. i also would have added whiskers to the face. i also think the texture added to the face makes it look like it has fur. this is my liger relief piece. i decided to do something comical. the liger is from napoleon dynamite which is a movie i really like. i tried to make it look as much like the liger from the movie. i decided to glaze it because it has a nice smooth feel and i like the reflection it gives off. i cut it into four pieces to make it esier to work with because it was somewhat large.
if i could change something i would add more detail to the face. the picture i used as a referance did not have much detail in the face. i also would have added fur texture to the body of the liger. |
