For this relief piece I used paint, pencil, pine straw, cling wrap, crumpled up drawings and red wax, and pages from books. My technique was to build layers that looked to be trash for my audience to better understand the cigarettes effects. I really feel that the background of my piece is well done and the detailing in Emma's face as well. Next time I would change the amount of cling wrap I used because it clouds the crumpled drawings and wax. My inspiration behind this piece was my friend groups love of being edgy. I think that I also chose this because at the time the Mac Demarco lyrics "I'll put the sparkle right back in your eye" was really stuck on my mind. |
