HeadSpace
Hispanic Heritage Month
This is my piece for National Hispanic Heritage Month. The painting was meant to represent Hispanic culture and appreciation. In drafting the idea of this painting, I researched historical Hispanic paintings and celebrations. Then, I tried to includes these things with my own style of painting. I used a lot of warm hues such as reds, oranges, yellows. I really liked how the painting came out. However, I could improve on the skin tones and the painting of the dog. Also, the wheat before the sunflower could how painted a bit better.
I absolutely love this piece!! There are so many different various textures and colors and uses for each part of the piece. I love how you took time to show each part of your "HeadSpace" that makes it your safe place.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea that you're in your own world and that you're showing us that you have a safe space to go when the world seems as though it's falling apart.
ReplyDeleteI love the message especially because im also going through something in my life. I really like the fish because it looks very realistic and it is so appealing to look at.
ReplyDeleteThe message behind the piece is very powerful because mental health is extremely important and important to me in my own life. I mostly love the fact that I can relate to your piece and how much you nailed the Romare Bearden style.
ReplyDeleteHeadSpace is the most honest piece you've created. I know along with your good days, you had many bad days and this tell a very emotional story. Your paint and shading on the objects are strong and I couldn't of thought smarter way to make a window. The piece is fire(bad pun) and there's nothing I would change about it.
ReplyDeleteThis is honestly an amazing piece Makala! It is so you and so personal. It shows a side of your emotions and of who you are, and I really like that about this piece. The detail of specific things made this piece come alive so much!
ReplyDeleteThe thing that really sticks out to me is your message this piece is the way you captured perspective in your collage. I can see the girl in the artwork is really close to the camera and the window is even farther away while the chaos behind it is even farther. Perspective is usually not a focus when making collages, so when I saw it your piece I was pleasantly surprised at how well it comes together. Also, like Ari said the window was masterfully done and the textures of the boards really make the window pop out. Your imagination is crazy and I would love to see more from it.
