“ A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.” - Paul Cezanne
When I first decided to make a tree I wanted this piece to feel like the beginning of spring when you saw it. The purpose of the creation was show a glimpse of spring. Spring is one of my favorite seasons so this was really important to me. I wanted it to have an impact on the people that see it, and make them happy by just looking at it. I want my work to communicate with viewers the idea of peace and serenity. All of the art work I did really did not have purpose like this project did, so that is why this one meant the most and is my favorite. Many of projects that I did before did not require as much time, and accuracy as this project. My overall vision for my piece was for it to be refreshing, unique, and peaceful. I achieved a lot through this project I was able to break the chains and boundaries that kept me conservative as an artist. My previous work consisted of sewing, threading, and patching. This project took me a while to do because I had to use 3 new painting techniques that I had no idea of such as : Acrylic paint, watercolor, and pen. I think that everyone should venture out as an artist and do things out of their comfortability zone. This is what makes you an artist, not the quality of the work but the adventure. As an artist you must be able to adapt to new ways of art and learn techniques, and that is what I was able to do with project.
