Final Project

I am making a large sized textured piece that is consumed with sticks, rocks, dirt, paint, and photographs. This textured piece will first be consumed with a layer of images of natural things on our planet such a wood, grass, trees, and dirt. Then I will add paint using colors that depict their realistic colors to the black and white photos. I will have the photographed images become apart of a 3d piece by corresponding the photographs with my gathered objects.

The nature relates to the photographs, which depicts my major and my specific area of concentration, nature photography. My idea of art is self- expression. I enjoy creating a piece that corresponds to my characteristics. In this piece it represents my inspiration for photography, which is nature. I also enjoy creating a unique way executing; this gives me ownership of my art.

When researching artist after I came up with my idea the closest artist that could relate with my project is Anslem Kiefer. Kiefer was a German painter and sculpture that was ranked the most successful German artists after World War II. His works are dull and musty looking and have a depressive and destructive style. “In most of his works, the use of photography as an output surface is prevalent and earth and other raw materials of nature are often incorporated.” His works are executed on large format scale.
