I have always loved the rain, even when I was young. There's something about listening to it fall on the tin roof of my house or snuggling under a blanket in the living room and just watching it fall. What some people would find annoying about the rain I don't mind. I've never had a car that fishtailed in the rain, I love when the power goes out during a thunderstorm and I don't mind getting soaking wet. My only complaint about the rain is the gigantic puddles the rain causes in the parking lot of my school and how I can never seem to avoid stepping in them.
You can choose to look at rain in a multitude ways and that's what I'm exploring in my AP Art concentration: The ways rain can be viewed or thought of. Rain can be something: scary, cold, fun, helpful, beautiful, soothing, dangerous, renewing, messy, hopeful, promising or foreboding. Rain, like life, is what you make of it.
"Rain is something... scary"
"Rain is something...Beautiful"
In this concentration I used 2 citra-solv transfers of a picture taken through a car windshield to create a mirror image. I drew back into the concentration with water color pencil, still keeping the blurry, dream-like feel of the original picture.
In this concentration I did 4 citra-solv transfers to create a new structure with the tree branches. I worked back into the concentration with watercolor pencils to make the colors more bold.
I added water color pencil to my photo collage of citra-solv transfers. I left some pencils marks but I added water to create the watercolor paint effect. I'll maybe add a self portrait later on.
In my third concentration piece I used a citra-solv transfer of a photo I took, then worked back on top of it. I used different colors of inks in horizontals and vertical drips to create a background. I then created another citra-solv transfer of my own face, then added my hair with acrylic paint, ink and watercolor pencils.
