Art (What and who are your influences?)

My first and main idea of the folio is to use Religion as a topic and transfer it to a comic style art. Every drawing would have a story behind it, specifically about the story of Jesus Christ. Every art piece will be done in different techniques or media. It will also have dialogues or short bubble texts in it so it will have a much more comic vibe. Colours in comics are often used with basic and primary colours. That is my idea in the beginning by colouring the art pieces in a way that it looks like it is from a comic strip. Every art piece will also have comic backgrounds like benday dots. I was going to apply comic structure to my topic of religion in art by doing the art pieces in different sizes and shapes of paper. There would also be borders to make the art piece look more like a comic. two artists that I chose to replicate or base my artworks was Roy Lichtenstein and Dick Frizzel. Both of these artists do Pop Art and do it how I want my folio to look like. Furthermore, Roy Lichtenstein’s artworks are comic strips which is basically the same thing as my idea. Roy Lichtenstein's ideas influenced my artworks as his ideas on creating based comics. Dick Frizzel influenced me on creating my artwork by using unusual characters and transfer them through pop art.

Art (What is my WHY?)

My Why

My why is to show what I am proud of in my religion. I want to show that religion can be a topic on art and it is really an interesting and quite challenging topic to do. Religion is not really that famous as a topic in art. You mostly see art about religion in churches or some museums. So I want to show that religion can be beautiful and appreciated when it is done in art. The art will have much more meaning. My why is focused on creating an art folio based and focused on the life of Jesus Christ. The drawings and paintings that I made are mirrors of the story and background of Jesus Christ. These connect to my why because Christianity is really important to this point of time so I would like to show how it started. Every artwork that I made is connected to the life of Jesus. Every piece of artwork has a meaning and holds a piece of history in Christianity. My folio is focused mainly on the crucifixion and resurrection because this is the most historical and important happenings on Jesus’ life. The use of colours, symbolism, and media techniques also relates and depends if the scene is either dark or full of life.

Art Models

I've decided to do some of my artwork based on Renaissance Religous arts. One of the artists that I'm basing my art is Leonardo Da Vinci. He uses natural and bright colours together to make his painting pop out. I am going to base one of my paintings so there can be more colour on my board.

Art Folio

In these past terms, I have continued to work on my folio. Honestly, I am behind and need to speed things up so I can make up the time that I wasted and do more work. These is how much work that I have right now.

I have used different medias so that I can fill up my folio. My art will be focused on Christianity and how it was before and how it is right now. I'm currently working on developing a comic styled art with the artworks shaped like it is from a comic. I am also focusing on developing more painting works due to that I am lacking more of them. It is because it is one of my weakness so I focused more on dry media. I am going to fill the time and work that I missed by focusing more on developing my folio.

This is what I have so far for my practical work in art. I have more that is in prohgress and I am planning to restart on my pastel one. I am going to do painting some time this term aswell. All of my art works will resemble or will connect to the artists that I picked. Some of my art will also have a comic effect(ban-day dots).

Art Folio Plan Layout

This is the layout of my art, I'm still in the process of creating more designs to go on the folio itself. I also started my wet media by using acrylic paint and creating a bible with a cross. The topic that I did is Pop art based on religion. It is kinda complex to do due to the topic itself. The story behind these different series of artworks are different important points on the story of Jesus Christ's life when he was still here on earth. I explained what or how his life has been by creating comic strips with comments like I was explaining or telling a story.

Next steps: My next steps are to create more design that will go to my folio. I need to do it on two media, wet and dry media. These are the two things that we need to have on or folios to have an achieve grade. So my plan for this week is to create the first series of my ark on wet media then do the next series on dry media.
