(no subject)
so i finished my AP portfolio today - the big ass folder has been sealed... TWO FREAKIN' DAYS EARLY. haha sadly the only reason i didn't get it done at the very last minute is because my art teacher lied about the due date like 4 times and originally told us it was like a week and a half before it was really due.
this is the first hardcore mixed media thing i've ever done and it was by far the most painful piece of art i've ever created. i had to hand bend/"break" five million and a half coat hangers to make it. i had blisters for like 3 straight weeks.
observe: the part of the bunny that's in the cage is black, while the part outside the cage is white. this is supposed to symbolize how when people shelter innocence it transforms into naivety. sometimes being sheltered wont preserve innocence, but instead it will speed the fading of it.
modern society, with its rapidly developing technologies and whatnot, is entirely unaccomidating and innocence will never be comfortable with it. figuring out that it is humanly possible to draw on cheap plywood that i dont think is actually wood with colored pencils was awesome.
i think about a year ago in studio we had this assignment to just draw various emotions without using symbols or preconceived ideas (there's a word for this type of thing, i think it begins with an a, but i cant remember it for the life of me). angry drawings usually all had sharp, jagged lines that were drawn with a good amount of pressure; calmness was light, wavey lines; and femininity had a lot of curves. lonliness was always portrayed by only being on a very small part of the paper, usually a corner, with the majority of the paper being left untouched. and that is why there is so much empty board on this one, because its intended to show how innocence is entirely isolated from everything else. richard spilled coffee on the bunny and i had to go over it. that was gay. and i dont like the ears AT ALLL.
i wanted to have a guy with an armfull of rabbits chasing after these bunnies, but that was too much effort and it would have been the biggest bitch ever to foreshorten. i still cant believe the hands came out actually looking like hands.
society is represented by the rusty bear traps. shows how society doesn't necessarily intend on harming innocence, but bunnies still get THEIR GODDAMN TETNUS GUTS SQUEEZED OUT OF THEM WHEN THEY GET TRAPPED IN A FREAKIN RUSTY BEAR TRAP. haha there were way more bear traps up top but i screwed up the perspective and got lazy so i just cut it off. some of you might interpret the top of this thing as me being creative and novel, HA. i'm not too happy with this rabbit at all.
THESE NEXT TWO ARE MY FAVORITES: not because of the art itself but the idea behind it. like all of my school's art department agreed that they were better than most college students finals they've seen. YEEEAAAAHHH. mr. allen liked the whole simplistic, clean thing cause i like never do stuff like that.
okay, so both of these were inspired by two of the most innocent people i've ever met, both of whom happen to also be the biggest man whores i've ever met. the bear shadows represent the false image they cast of themselves - of being far from innocent.
sometimes people can't see through the shadow and realize that it's just an innocent rabbit, so the suckers get an arrow through their heart anyways. hey remember that time i do clothing folds like i'm retarded?
details:
and in this one, the false shadow scares away other potential threats; and therefore, innocence is in a bizarre way sheltered and protected, even though the shadow gives off the impression that the person isn't innocent at all.
i'm kinda pissed cause i could've done the wolf hair sooo much better.
I NEVER WANT TO DRAWPAINT ANOTHER RABBIT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. most of my school thinks i'm a total psycho because they can't comprehend that it was my concentration, and not that i have some crazy bunny sexual fetish.
