Con-cen-tra-tion

What is the central idea of your concentration?


Acrylic paintings of cars, focusing on the older aspects of them rather than the new


How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? You may refer to specific images as examples. When referencing specific images, please indicate the image numbers.

Throughout my concentration, my paintings kept getting more zoomed, making the part of the car look somewhat indistinguishable. For each of my pieces, I chose to use only exterior parts of the cars as it shows what the car is actually made of and in my opinion, is the more artistic part of a car. The industrial aspects of cars are what interest me since they've changes so much throughout the years.  Since cars are full of different textures and reflections, I tried to use certain brush strokes to show the many surfaces, like in my newest one of the hood ornament and the biggest one I've done which showed the spokes. 

We're getting there.

Well I fell like this is the time of the year when most people are stuck on what to do next for their concentration  Could be wrong but let's hope not... Anyway about my concentration  I think I'm on a good pathway. I know where I want to go next which will just to be following my last four or five pieces because LATELY, I've been zooming up more on the photographs I've taken and painting pictures so close-up that it it sorta a struggle to figure out what it is? I'm just trying to have them abstracty.

Oh yes, and my concentration is close up images of the exterior of cars (pre-1990's), focusing on the older aspects of them, rather than the new.

So basically, I can say that I'm on good track with my concentration, my only problem is that I'm running out of pictures to use but a quick photographing spree would solve that. I just got to find old cars... hmm, whatever I'll be fine.

Oh and all my artwork is in the art room, so here's a picture of my piece from a month ago, and yes thanks to Andrea and Kelsey, I'm aware that I forgot to finish a spoke in the top right corner.
