a.k.a. Jeanie Potter Date: 03.16.07 (approx) My final painting for, um, Painting. Based on a photograph of my friend Jean taken by our mutual friend, never_ender. I liked this painting a lot, only my professor said that I couldn't just copy the photograph, so I ended up painting the definition of "nature" from the American Heritage Dictionary over the top with gloss medium (figuring I could always paint over the entire painting with matte medium when I finished the class if I didn't like the effect). Since this obviously wouldn't be enough to placate my prof, I also painted a cutout of Jean on a piece of foamboard, put some more pieces of foamboard underneath to make it pop out, and used masking tape to stick it over the Jean on the canvas. Since I was running short on time, the second Jean was not as realistic/detailed as the first, being all flat colors without shading. I pulled some explanation about it the painting symbolizing how humanity pretends to be a part of nature, but really isn't, keeping themselves separate, etc., out of a place we shall not speak of, and my prof must've liked it as I received an A in the class :D I took the foamboard Jean off after I finished with the class. She is now on the door to my room :) |
