Final Project

For the final project I really wanted to try to explore time, change, and motion in a variety of ways. I decided on an image of a young woman. But this isn't any portrait of a woman. I also dipped makeup sponges in paint and shot them at the canvas with a sling shot. I wanted to address how over the years younger and younger girls are wearing makeup to change their image (colored paint). I really feel that this need is fueled by the media (they are the sling shot). I also wanted to experience art for the sake of more of how it was created rather than the final product. I felt really driven by abstract expressionists. One artist in particular I really looked at was Jackson Pollock. His art work, although somewhat planned, gives off the idea of spontaneity. His process also is done almost subconciously, dripping the paint across the canvas. I wanted to mimick that by creating a stiuation where I had little control of where the paint would land, being that I'm a horrible shot, it seemed to work well.
