Historical Shape

 1. Assignment Discussion

In this assignment, we were required to reinterpret a piece of famous artwork of our choice using only shapes.

2. Original Artwork

"Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh made in 1889

3. Reinterpreted Artwork

4. Why this artwork?

I'm familiar with Van Gogh's work and wanted to work with his paintings for that reason. I  like the thickness of the painting's brush strokes and the expression that Van Gogh has in his paintings.

5. Ideas

As soon as I looked at the piece I thought "triangles and lots of angles".

6. Best Part of My Artwork: What do you like the most?

What I like the most of my artwork is how I interpreted the tree by overlapping the triangles.

Introduction

 

 1. "Introduction"

I'm Daniela Garcia. I've lived in Yuma for almost my whole life. I graduated Yuma High School on May 22, 2015 and am attending my first year at AWC.

2. "Sample of My Artwork"

3. "My Artwork"

I mainly stick to pencil drawing, and on occasion I'll paint.

4. "Favorite Art"

Does speed-paints on YouTube count? In all seriousness, my favorite type of art in landscape paintings. Why? Because i have a small grasp on painting and am terrible at drawing/thinking of landscapes.

5. "Major"

Currently I am pursuing a Major in Studio Art, but i'm not quite sure if its what i want.

6. "Class Goals"

My class goal is to put my all into each project and get a better grasp of 2D art.

7. "Vacation Spot"

My favorite vacation spot is Ensenada, Baja California because of how nice the weather is in the spring. Camping by the beach is my favorite, the water warms up just right in the afternoon for swimming and at night you can hear the seals barking.

8. "Pet"

I have a white, blue eyed cat named Sully. Sully is usually found in my room or out adventuring. He doesn't like many people, but I think he's warming up some.

9. "More About Me"

I spend most of my time on the internet browsing through sites like YouTube, tumblr and Deviant-Art.
