I made this piece for my Honors Art lll class. It is 8"x10". This prompt is all about our passions. The requirement was to create an anatomically correct heart expressing our passion. This artwork greatly displays my skills because of the large amount of texture that I added with the different

materials. I used a large amount of value,

as well as many types of lines to achieve the

amount of form, value, texture, and

emphasis. This piece is made from

watercolor pens and this was the first

time I used them. I chose to experiment

with them because of their super vibrant

colors.

 

I commonly work with paints and pencils.

On the contrary, I love to use mixed media

because I truly believe that it can help

express and further create what you want

to capture in your art. I even added the

engraved design that's around the sound

hole on my ukulele, which is around the

heart itself. The background is filled with

sheet music of classical pieces that I have

already learned to play or I'm learning right now.
