"Dealings with artists requires great prudence; they are acquainted with all classes of society, and for that very reason, dangerous..." ~ Leopold I
Time!This is my final idea for my project. I came up with the theme if time awhile ago, but I didn't know how to portray it. In this piece, I chose to emulate the style of art from a different time: the stone age. Cave paintings have always fascinated me, but I didn't want to simply recreate their drawings, I wanted to re-imagine them in an alternate history. In several cave paintings, recurring things or animals appear, like horses, or the outline of a handprint. I wanted to create an alternate history, one where horses have horns and/or wings, and humans have webbed hands. Below is a simple sketch, as well as the paper used for this piece: I wanted to give the impression of drawings on a cave wall, so I found some brown paper, and I crinkled it up to give it a rocky-looking texture. I used charcoal and pastels to create the drawings I have created so far. I am not very far along on this one, but I know exactly what I want to portray in the final result. I plan to complete this over holiday break. Below is an inspiration as well as my current piece: My final piece includes several mythical creatures like a unicorn and a minotaur. This piece explores what may have been if our ancestors' lore was true. I used real cave art sources to inspire my work. The true inspiration can be seen in my unicorn and the alien creatures.
