My Alter Ego

 
1. What do you like most about your art?


My favourite part of this piece is the way that everything is at least somewhat opaque. The way that the images are layered really adds to it because you can see through each layer to the ones underneath. This helps each individual picture blend with the other ones better. My favourite part of the picture is the guitar because it really stands out in the picture. I also really like the way all of the colours coordinate with each other. 




2. What do you like least about your art?

The thing I like least about my art is that some of my images look like they were pasted on. Because they had square edges, it was difficult to make them look like they fit in with the picture. I also do not like how some of the pictures are cut out such as the image of me. It looks a bit sloppy. 



3. What kind of message does your art send to the viewer?

The message that I was hoping to send to the viewer was that my alter ego is a really bright and spiritual person. I think that the colours and images portray that really well. It was supposed to portray me as a musical person who inspires many people with music. This is why I added a crowd of people at the bottom left corner as well as a peace sign.

  1. Linda,
    I like how the guitar comes out towards the viewer- the entire background is well done with the notes, the moon (right?), the guitar and the cross.
    Next steps- you don't appear to be blending in yet. By adding more layers that cross your picture, or by fading some of your edges (either through feathering, using an eraser), using more brushes, etc. you can complete the good work you've started.
