Why did I choose this theme?

• The reason why I chose this theme is because I want to challenge myself. Other themes which is force and open, I already tried many drawings with these themes and I feel like I’m already familiar with these themes. The last theme which is Juxtaposition, I didn’t really get to research about this theme and this theme is not very familiar to me.

Connection/ First thought

• After I get to know the meaning of this theme, the first thing that came into my mind is to create an art piece with theme juxtaposition that shows my feeling of my life. I think this theme juxtaposition doesn’t has a limitation to express something, so it can be a great theme to express what I feel about my life in this world.

Vladimir Kush

Vladimir Kush started to attending art school from seven and became acquainted with works of great Renaissance artists, Impressionists and Modern artists. At 17, he had his education at the Moscow Higher Art and Craft School and graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts. He had hard time in Russia, he supported his family by painting portraits on Arabat Street. In 1987, he got to participate in his first exhibitions organised by the Union of Artists. In 1990, almost all of his works that are displayed at an exhibition in Coburg, Germany were sold. Then he flew to Los Angeles working from a small rented garage. 

Salvador Dalí

Born: May 11, 1904-Figueras, Catalonia, Spain

Died: January 23, 1989-Figueras, Catalonia, Spain

Salvador Dali is not exactly who involves juxtaposition in his art work, but he was an influential surrealist and avant-garde painter. In the 1920s, he has been interacting with artist such as Picasso, Magritte and Miró which led him to his first Surrealist phase. Most of his works contains the themes of eroticism, death, and decay and it reflects his familiarity with and synthesis of the psychoanalytical theories of his time. Using his blatantly autobiographical material and childhood memories, his works are filed with the range from fetishes and animal imagery to religious symbols.

The title of this art work is call Departure of the Winged Ship. This piece was done by the artist on the bottom name Vladimir Kush, but these both artist involves surrealism or also can be juxtaposition in their art. The main focus of this drawing is the ship with the butterflies or the wing of the butterflies. The color choice of the butterflies and the blue sky and ocean gives the audience to realise that this drawing symbolises feelings of happiness and beauty of the world. The artist got to draw this piece of art by the inspiration of the image of butterfly in Japan. In Japan, butterfly is always associated with the best moments in life.

The name of this piece of art is call Not Yet by Maggie Taylor. There were no any explanation of this drawing but in my idea I think the blue butterfly wings behind the men with no face has a different meaning than the wings in the Departure of the Winged Ship. This piece of art has more dark feeling. The face also makes me think as the men is hiding his emotion of has no emotion.

Screen fourThis was my first step of my art piece. In this step, I used pencil to draw out what I’m going to draw. One of the challenging part of this step was to draw the girl at the centre. I didn’t have much time for the first step so I didn’t get to make the girl realistic. As I drew, it turned more like anime. Also, the street was hard for me to draw. I was planning to make the street looks very crowded with people and complicated, but it was too hard for me to add more details in to it. I didn’t directly copied from the internet but I tried my best to express the feeling of the crowded street in Korea. Materials that were used: HB, 2B, 4B pencil.

In this step, I was already finished outlining the building. I didn’t get to add very much details in the background by not having enough time. Rather than the background, I tried to use more time on the butterflies. Before I started to draw the butterflies I searched some butterflies in the internet to get some ideas. Materials that were used: 0.24mm pen, water colour, 4B pencil.

For this step, I started to colour the butterflies and the girl at the centre. I didn’t outlined the butterflies because I wanted the butterflies to looks different and special than the others. I focused on using bright water colour for the butterflies. Colouring the butterflies with no outlining was one of the risk that I had because water colour is one of the technique that I’m not use to and I never used watercolour to draw a butterfly before. Materials that were used: HB, 2B, 4B pencil.

Screen fiveSubmission Statement The title of this art work is Escape. The girl at the centre doesn’t exactly looks like me but the girl represents my feeling. I titled this piece as Escape, because I wanted to show that the girl is getting escape from her daily life. I used HB, 2B, 4B pencil, 0.24mm, 0,25mm pen, and watercolour. The background is a normal drawing of a street in Korea. The building and the streets are focused to the centre. As the building get closer to the centre, it gets smaller. The buildings at the front are medium size and the buildings at the back are mostly tall in blue and grey. The the original name of the brand Tony Noly at the bottom left corner is Tony Moly which is one of the makeup band from Korea. The orange tents at the bottom right is the tent that can be easily found on the street in Korea. The street at the bottom centre is not exactly a street where people are suppose to walk on. It’s suppose to be a road where the cars pass by, but as you can see, people are just walking around and the tents are even up and this is one of the Korean tradition. The building next to the Tony Noly is suppose to be hak-won or a academy. Comparing to the buildings in the background, I focused to the details of the butterflies. I chose to use the light value of the colours that shows out and coloured in high intensity to emphasis the butterflies. Also I used black pen to show the texture of the butterflies and it also helped to let the audience to focus on the butterflies. In contrast, I used dark value but in low intensity to colour the buildings and the girl. I didn't coloured the girl at the centre like the butterflies at the top is because she was also one of the part of the background. By using different value for the butterflies and the buildings, this also contrast to each other. This makes to think that the butterflies are came from a different world and don’t belong in this world. The buildings and the tents below also forms a pattern. The buildings at the front which looks much the same to each other, as I said before, as they get closer to the centre the buildings get smaller. As I was working on this piece, I made some changes or had parts that did not go as what I wanted to be like. I didn’t really want to use water colour because it is one of the medium that I’m really bad at and didn’t used this medium a lot but I wanted to challenge myself to try different medium than only using pencils. However, I had some risk as I was using watercolour to draw the details. I was planning to make the street crowded with dark colours, but it was really hard to put details such as the shadows to the street. I also had to make changes in the colour choices. I was planning to only use cold colour for the street and the buildings, but there were parts that I must use the warm colour, such as the tents, the colour of orange is what make the tents to be special and be traditional. The inspiration of the butterflies are from the art work call Departure of the Winged Ship by Vladmir Kush. As I said in the previous slide, in Japan, butterfly is always associated with the best moments in life and I also need something that has the meaning of brightness or happiness so I got to use butterfly to symbolise happiness. As you can see, the girl is getting escape from the street or can also be her daily life. From these normal boring life she got eternal by the butterflies. But the emotion from her face is not very excited or happy because she already has been imbued by her life which led to losing her emotion. And that’s how I feel about this life like now. I compared my self as that girl in the drawing. Right now my life, I always get tired of this life style and the pressure that I get from people around me, which makes me only to be focused to studying. And I never get to enjoy my life after primary school. I have the most pressure in summer vacation. Maybe because my English never improve or maybe I’m to bad at science, I have to spent my whole vacation in hak-won or a academy and that slowly makes me to feel like nothing. I start to think why am I doing this, what’s the purpose to spend all my childhood in studying, and weird thoughts come into my mind. Then as I do all this work, once I thought of getting escape from this life. Once I think of me getting help to get out from this boring life and that’s how I got to create this art piece. It would be better if I knew more techniques of using watercolour and has more time, but I still like my final work. As I draw I really enjoyed drawing the details of the wings. At first, I was stuck on drawing it, but as it goes, it was really fun to design the wings. If I get to draw this again, I would draw less windows and make it more complicated and crowded with people on the streets.
