sketches

This is a sketch i did for a tee-shirt design for aea. It is a lot cleaner than the drawings i usually i do which i usually very sketchy.

I've often drawn and made city scene pieces. I like using simple shapes as the buildings and also simplifying the background. I enjoy taking busy and complicated scenes or objects and breaking them down into geometric shapes and lines.

This is done with paint. like the city scenes, i've often made pieces, specifically paintings where i keep the facial features very simple, and then make the piece more interesting my adding a lot of texture shapes and lines in the background.

I've been playing around with a lot of different ideas this semester to find exactly what i want to focus on next semester when i continue my concentration. I've been looking at a lot of african art, becuase i am very interesting in how they simplify facial features and the figure.

I'm also interested in Lorraine Roy. I enjoy the texture and the many different aspects and colors of the pieces. They remind me of my paintings and made me realize i could bring my style of painting into my fibers work
