Artist's Comments
If you have been reading my journals you may remember me mentioning my brick project for at class. Each student got to pick a brick in the class room and paint it with any image they found influential/interesting in art history. I struggled a lot with what kind of image to pick, then I began to look around the class. There was some Native American posters up and I felt very inspired, so I asked my teacher and he told me to look into Haida artwork. I was looking for an orca done in the style of Haida and came across Todd Baker's orca print, on the left. I then found this salmon image (artist unknown) and wanted to combine them. I originally had them swimming in a circle but my art teacher combined them like this, which I think turned out better.
The straight, thing lines were incredibly time consuming and difficult, but were worth it. The brick was not flat so it was a real challenge. I went in today during the Grade 8 orientation (where the school does a open house for the parents and kids to check out the school) and a bunch of people said I was really good, one lady even said I was talented! Like I've said before, I feel that it is a very under appreciated art form. It is by far my favourite as well, I think the style is absolutely beautiful. So yes, this is my finished brick! Done with acrylic paint on a (painted beige/yellow) brick wall. |

You should really paint more often, given this as an example, I would love to see some more non-photographic artwork from you!
