February Critique

My concentration is revolving around the human form and figure. I went with this idea, because i find the human race fasinating to create in the form of art and i wanted to have fun doing so. The work I've done for this round, i find, is much more different than my previous pieces. One of them is of a guy with his head is exploding. when i was working on this piece i felt a bit frustrated and tired of my concentration and i honestly felt that my creativity was trapped and i coundn't get the juices flowing. So i expressed that in my sketchbook with some chalk and oil pastels. the result was satisfinying that i felt like using it as piece for my set, but i wanted to enlarge it. so i did. Da other piece i worked on was of an arm moving through the different layers of the body (skin...muscle...bone). I feel like if i'm doing the human form/figure, i should incorporate the layers of the body into one of my pieces, i decided to do an arm because of all of the crossings in the muscles and bones, plus i had a canvas that i needed to use. when i was origanlly planing this out, i wanted to have some ink running down the side of the arm in the direction towards the fingers, but after i got to a spot where i was liking it, i wasn't so sure if i should go on. I let you, the critic, give your opinon on that. Also if i gave my self more time to work on this one, i think it would of looked kool if it was made with encaustics (just the arm). If yoiu read this, thank you.

i don't know what to call this

AP Art ZOO Trip

i had a fun time with da AP art class at da zoo the other day. we were supposed to have at least ten pictures to possibly use for concentration work. that's going to be tuff for me, but I'll use some of them for my photo class and inspiration. Da snow was a fun, but at the same time an annoying element to da trip, cause it made the animals want to stay inside. here are some of da pics from da zoo.
