Artistic intent : ( The video is the piece above )My intentions in creating this piece were to allow others to understand the amount of work that goes into creating an original piece. I can only speak for myself but it is quite a difficult task. I felt it was important to show this journey because many people at times easily just ignore an art piece and I have done that myself but I have come to realise that so much time and effort is put into ensuring that they convey a message, which I believe is the reason why a piece should not be taken for granted. During the 3 days it took me to make this piece I occasionally changed my colour schemes as I wanted to incorporate bright colours to allude to the brightness that comes from Africa. As some of you may or may not have noticed this piece relates to my most previous poem. Unlike the literary piece I incorporated quotes to allude to the different circumstances of “African” the quote beside the painter's hand was one of the most important to me. It developed a welcoming tone as it described that one does not have to live in Africa to consider themselves African, it is something that comes with experience and recognition of the environment you are in. |
