Struggle Assignment

Struggle Final Draft

For my finished art piece of Struggle I decided to make two significant changes from my rough draft leading to several smaller changes in the final product. The first major change I had made from my rough draft to the final product was I had decided to do a camera photo instead of drawing as I was not yet talented enough to do a pencil based picture of someone's face . the next change I made was to get rid of the "good" and "bad"words on my models face as after review with my teacher it seemed all but to obvious the unnatural darkness represented an evil of sorts and the unscathed part of the face represented good. My final thoughts on this art piece are that it evidently shows an inner struggle of black and white (good and bad) literally.  

Brainstorming for Cross Curricular

For my cross-curricular art assignment I have narrowed my subject to biology as it is the study of life and nature which are two exceptionally broad subjects. My first few ideas are to do with mitosis which is cell division. If I were to use mitosis I would try to use a stain glass window like art style as in most visual diagrams of mitosis there are several bright colours from which I could use to my advantage. Another way of dedicating an art piece to biology could be by using natural objects to do a portrait of a model showing all life is related and the usage of matter. My last idea for an art piece to do with biology is to possibly do something with all of the human systems of functioning (respiratory, digestion, etc.) but I have not fully grasped what exactly I could do.
