• What Modern Art Movement has you chosen and why? Is there an artist or a practice in this movement that inspired you? Explain.

      I chose abstraction modern art movement because abstraction was my favorite unit during             grade 10 art class also other modern art style such as Dadaism, Expressionism and                           Surrealism were hard to understand for me but abstraction unit was not it was interesting             and easy to understand. Moreover, after finish abstraction artwork I really wanted to repeat           this assignment again because I enjoyed this unit a lot and I wanted to use more abstraction           techniques in my artwork.

 

• Is your final artwork a good representation of your metaphor? Have you used any materials that have enhanced the stylistic theories of your Modern Art movement? Provide a thorough and insightful description of your work and the concept behind it.

      My final artwork is a good representation of my metaphor "Life is fishing". I compared           our life to fishing because the situation is similar. When we go fishing, we want to catch           many fish but sometimes we fail to catch. Similarly, In our life, we want to achieve our goals or get something that we want but it doesn't always work. I drew two fish that were caught by fishing rods and other two that failed to. It shows achievement and failure of goals. Like this situation, we can fail or success. Therefore, I compared fishing to success and failure in our life. 

•       The white strings represent the path to success.

•       A fish represent the goals to achieve.  

 

•     Have you shown used any of the Modern Art techniques in your artwork? Where? What is interesting about your art?

      Since my art is about abstraction, I chose abstraction technique which is displacement.       Therefore, I drew many shapes and lines with fishes to displace everything together.  

      The interesting things of my artwork are white rod because before people know                     message of my artwork, they will not know what it represent. Moreover, two fishes were       swimming but other two fishes were catching by someone. 

 

• How did you use the Elements and Principles of Art in your design?

      Line- I used smooth and mostly curvy lines in my artwork. (Pattern of fishes, shapes) 

      Color- I used warm color and cool colors but mixed white colors so I mostly used pastel                   tone of colors. Also I used to make shadow in background shapes. 

      Shape- I used many curvy shapes for background and patterns of fishes.

      Space- I drew different size of 4 fishes. Also sizes of background shapes are different.

      

 

•  Do you like your final design? Why or why not? What could be done to change it?

      I do like my final design because I think I create abstraction technique “Displacement”. I                 displaced all the shapes with fishes and lines (which represent fishing rod). Moreover, I                   really like color of background because it looked clear and pure water and created shadow               well. I got better skill to create shadow in shapes because of practice and experience before             during abstraction unit. In addition, I like idea that I used white strings and pasted on the               lines to represent fishing rod. Before I paste white strings, my artwork looked kind of flat                 but after paste white strings, it looked much better and better to relate our topic mixed                   media. If I repeat this assignment again, I want to challenge to use more attractive mixed                 media and other modern art style to have more experience in art.
