My collage was created based around my goal of being healthier in 2020. I had listened to another student who had a similar goal, who had come up with the idea of drawing something about themselves that they didn't like and drawing things inside that you enjoy. I took that idea, with their approval, and made it into something that I could call my own. So I drew my thighs and legs, and on one leg is based around space and stars. The constellation in the blue leg, is the aquarius constellation which is my zodiac sign. I enjoy reading the horoscopes and really believe in the and that they can sort of predict the future. The other leg, is sunset and rainbows. I love the beach and watching the sun set and seeing the pink clouds among the horizions. The background is newspaper because I based it around the media and how I need to stop using it all the time and spend less time worrying about how I look compared to others. The polaroids are based around my future goals, such as going to school to become and animator, graduating college, and travelling the world. The last part of my project is the three blocks of colors painted on the newspaper. They are the colors of the Bi flag, and on Friday, I came out. That was one of my goals, to become more confident and be able to come out.
There are so many things that I love about this piece that i don't know where to start. The way you crafted everything so that it's all related to your personal life and ambitions is beautiful, not to mention how nice it looks overall. The blended colors are bright and vivid, the constellations are super detailed, and the use of tape and cotton balls for the rainbows and clouds respectively is very creative and really shows how resourceful you are. Nice!
I really like this piece Sadie! It is so personal! Your goals are really captured on this paper and I like how you took such a realistic approach!
I like that your piece is very powerful with colors and textures. Great job.
I really like the piece Sadie, and I understand it so much just from looking at it! The thought of it is really personal, and I love that about your piece.
I can get from this post that you would like to improve both your mental and physical health. Those are two high, valuable goals to have in this day and age. I also feel that your statement reflected your intended vision exactly. The newspaper background is dope while I get an intensively creative vibe from the wide range of materials used. I like your style and hope to see more in the future.
