Home Project

 

 This piece was based around my life at home. Usually when you here about an art piece about the feeling of home its warm and cozy. However I hate home. I hate family. But to narrow it down I hate my family. I hate my home. To the left there are straight edges which have a feeling of strict like qualities. The point of that project was too express what home meant to us and for me it is negative, and feels like walking on egg shells. There are words in some to represent that the things that get said back and forth in my family seems to seep out when an eggshell cracks. I don’t think of happy fuzzy feelings when I think of home, I think negative. I really wanted to do a drawing naturally because that is my main strength but to avoid the over use of mark making for that is not my portfolio I decided on a mixed media piece with very limited drawing materials intended to just enhance the rest. The “Home” piece with the egg shells uses shape with the shape of the eggshells and the shape of the paper strips to the left also playing a big role. It shows line with the lines of the paper strips. There is repetition, present with the many egg shells resembling a lot of the same shapes over again and the paper strips repeated. And lastly leading line with the direction of the eggs leading the eyes from one part of the piece throughout the other.
