Mural Project

This wall in my house is the one attached to the stairs that leads to the second floor, it has a lot of dimension and allowed for the use of depth, which I wanted to use as a “portal”. The meaning behind this piece is to emphasize with everything going on in the world that we have to remember to cherish those around us and our community to lead us to a warmer and more welcoming era. The area where those are entering the door is purposefully darker and sharper in lines to create a dreary and serious feeling while the foreground is more playful and less sharp lines to create a welcoming mood.

Book Project

“All of Me” by Kate Parker

Pill Bottle

Freedom: a Fable by Kara Elizabeth Walker

 

I chose these books in short no only because they stand out immediately from the cover but the way the information is portrayed. It catches the attention of the audience and is a work of art all the way through, not just in the bindings.

3D Wire Sculpture

This was my first time ever working with wire and to be honest one of my first times working on a 3D plane. I am very comfortable with painting and drawing but when it comes to 3D things I am less experienced. This project was really fun but also really frustrating. These pictures depict by rendition of a door knob with some of the mechanisms in the back. The curves and design made it so hard to mold the wire. If I had the time I would get 18 gauge wire instead of 20 because my object wasn’t too big. Other than that I tried to let the curviness add to the imperfections of my sculpture and almost look unpolished. I’m also proud of the intricate work and the different interesting angles I was able to achieve. I really want to improve on overall quality and strength of the structure. It was a fulfilling and challenging assignment for sure.

Originally starting with comics then going to elaborate paintings of people in oil, watercolors, and other medias then going to murals all over the world.

Sid is very comfortable with the technical aspects of art but the imagination and message conveyed is where he admits he lacks character and complexity in.
