My Masterpiece: Sonny
Monday, September 21, 2009, 12:11 PM
I'm also taking Art Appreciation and I think I'm the only Art Major in there so I completely look like the "over-achiever"! lol That's okay. ;) Our assignment was to create a piece of "non-representational" art (not representing or depicting an image of a known object, person, or place) with found objects. Also, I was to use one of the seven principles of design and I concentrated on Emphasis and Subordination. Therefore, I used some material left over from where I repaired my house because my crazy dog tears up door frames and casings to get in or out of the house and rooms. So, with a 5ft by 3ft sheet of durock (that had a rectangle already cut out of it), joint compound, paper towel cores cut into one inch ringlets and thirty-two hours later... I created this masterpiece!
I used java bean brown, daffodill yellow, lodge green and eggshell white (since it was actually the only paints I had available) to paint the piece however, it turned out mardi gras lookin ;) But, in my mind the colors brown, yellow and white mixed together create the color of my dog's fur therefore, they represent my dog, Sonny, playing in the green grass; Since the materials used were because of her I named the piece "Sonny".

I am a Graphic Designer, Promotional Model, Artist, Writer, Student, Widow and Mother of one ;) I am Just Nikki and was born and raised in the Heart of Dixie! Nothing compares to Sweet Home Alabama and its number one ranked college team, the University of Alabama, and watching SEC football this time of the year which I've been enjoying for nearly a quarter of a century!
