My ARTWORK | UNIVERSITY

Here is some art I have been working on in university.

This piece was actually an accident. I was trying to clean my palette with paper because I couldn't find any tissue paper to clean it with. I really liked how it looked so I stuck it onto some cardboard with green masking tape. This piece was slightly and subconsciously influenced by John Bunker and Niamh O'malley.

For this piece I screenshot Edvard Much's the scream and zoomed in until I found an interesting composition then painted it using acrylic paint. I really enjoyed doing this, and will probably try it with different art work.

I was given the topic of semiotics for this project. So I kept it quite plain and obvious with the apple symbolising temptation, the colour of the apple to portray danger and the green arrows symbolising envy. The whole piece is basically showing how when we're jealous we are tempted by what isn't ours which can lead to bad situations...

I then wanted the symbols to be less obvious and open to negotiation. So this piece symbolises the complexity and depth of a female. She can seem pretty and petite but like a scorpion she is powerful.
