Game Time

The concept behind my work of art is the theme of basketball. I decided to use this theme because there are both positives and negatives to the game of basketball. For the positive, I had one guy taking a free throw. Free throws are a positive because you are literally getting two free shots from the foul line. My negative piece was a defender stealing the ball from an offensive player. Losing the basketball is obviously a negative. The process for making this piece went pretty well. A struggle I encountered was trying to draw realistic people. At first it was challenging, but once I drew a few people, it got much easier. I discovered I can somewhat draw realistic people.

Principle of Design Research

I looked at the artwork called Dempsey and Firbo by George Bellows. He used the Principles of Design to make his artwork very clear. It helped identify the story behind his artwork. There are many little things you can identify by using the Principles of Design.
