Ashton Reigner Q2 Art

I had a lot of inspiration for my art this quarter. Everything I created has an explanation.  One thing I looked for is how I could make something that sampled things from other art. For this I looked to music and famous paintings that I felt had their own source of inspiration. While creating my drawings I used pastels and colored pencils mostly. I like to put as much contrasting color in my art as possible and these were two mediums that would allow me to do so. When I do my art though, I like to be in a certain state. When in the classroom, it’s hard for me to concentrate and open my mind up to create whatever it is I want to create. This is why I like to do all my art at home. When I’m at my house in my room, alone, I get fully concentrated and that is when I produce my best art.
