My artist that I chose was Faith Ringgold, and I chose to do a cityscape of Amsterdam, since part of her style was simplifying things, and I had a lot of pictures of the city from when I visited back in 2013. I chose to add a "quilt" border since she was known to do a lot of her work on quilts. Progress
Self Evaluation1. Who was your referenced artist for the painting? Name 4 main ideas you used from your research to create your painting.
Name-Faith Ringgold Main Ideas: Simplicity, borders, color, quilt border 2. Describe the craftsmanship of your painting. (Is it neat and well executed?) I would say that my painting is not as neat or well executed as I would like, mostly due to a lack of time and rushing to finish everything at the end of senior year. 3. What was the most difficult part of this project? I think the most difficult part of this project was the planning: what I wanted to paint, how I wanted to execute it and keep it in line with my artists' style. 4. Describe your color choices and how they reflect the work of your chosen artist? I tried to use a lot of bright colors while still keeping the painting semi-realistic because my Faith Ringgold uses a lot of bright and solid colors in her paintings. 5. Describe how the style of your landscape reflects your chosen artist. I chose I city-scape for my landscape because even though Ringgold's most common subject was people, she also dabbled in city-scapes (such as San Fransisco) and I felt her style transferd easier to a city than a nature landscape. 6. What do you think your chosen artist would say if he or she could see your painting today? I think she would give me some advice on how to improve my technique to make it cleaner. 7. What would you do differently if you were to do this project again? I would take more time to make it cleaner and not as messy/rushed.
