For this project we had to incorporate the ideas of nature combined with mechanical. For this project I chose to use nature (myself as a being) and mechanical (the textures in my hair along with the head like piece that is on my face). I really really liked how unique this piece turned out to be. I chose the medium to use graphite. I have never used just pencil in a project before, so I decided to challenge myself during creating this project. I really enjoyed how it came to be, it was very similar to how I imagined it to turn out. Although I had lots of challenges in this piece, which was the smearing of the piece while I was still drawing this piece.
I feel like this project definitely challenged my typical types of pieces I have created in the past. I haven't had much past experience with the media graphite, also I don't usually go more on the abstract side of art, it was challenging to incorporate that type of design like feel to this piece since I wanted to create almost a warped sense of the background when it spiraled in the front towards the phone. I feel this also created a more mechanical like sense to the piece along with the eye piece since it was more structured than a typical background, (which in this photo I took of myself would have been my bathroom). I also feel that I was able to express myself in this piece since I was able to create an almost like myself person, yet put in aspects to the photo that made it feel very relaxed, which is one feeling I was trying to convey.
Overall I was very satisfied with how it turned out! Abstract art is my favorite type to create, such as this piece. This project was very enjoyable to create, and I definitely feel that I would like to use graphite as my usage of medium again to get more practice, and to learn to prevent smudging!
