This is one of the three spheres I completed for my "learning material" lesson.
This is my Blackout Poem Mini Lesson
This is a photo of my Morphed Character where I combined Patrick Star and Bugs Bunny.
The difference between getting inspiration from from another piece and stealing an idea is most people use artist’s ideas as inspiration or as a base of creating our own design. Inspiration can come from anywhere or anyone and even I have borrowed ideas from other artists. However, if you steal the idea then you are just ripping off the artist without giving them credit. I feel that it is okay to use part of an idea or picture as long as you give credit to the original artist that had the idea because your using it as a source of inspiration to fuel your individual creativity.
For my final piece I chose to combine a tiger and a banana because I thought it would be a strange and humorous idea. I originally picked watercolor as my medium due to the fact that oranges and yellows generally go well together and blend to form unique shades. I did enjoy working with this medium at first but I slowly started to discourage it. Mrs. Sudkamp mentioned the artist Jackson Pollock so I combined both the watercolor and the medium used by Jackson Pollock to make a piece of art all my own. If I had the chance to change ONE thing about my piece I honestly wouldn't change a single thing. By using two different medium I learned that I am a more abstract and outside the lines kind of artist. The most successful thing about my artwork would be that by using my tiger banana as a cover/stencil, it gave the piece a two-tone feel and made my Two in One looks as if it was popping off the page.
