Calligram
Artist Statement:
I enjoyed this project a lot! Getting to take the time to think about what you hope for yourself in 20 years really made me question what I really wanted. The project had its difficulties that for sure but im very happy with the way mine turned out!
Process:
I chose to do a hand to symbolize my handprint on the world. Which had to go with what my letter was mostly about. So i first began to outline the shape of a hand. Then, i decided to disect the hand so that my words can fit in and create almost a mandala type of work. After chose to add a sun, which symbolizes happiness and love to me using my most important part of my letter. Finally, to did squiggly lines which i thought made my calligram look more whole!
Here is my inspiration:
My finished Calligram!
:
The rays emanating out of the hand look really cool. It has this weird mix of a mechanical and a human look which I love.
