Artist Statement
My name is Emmalee and I am an art student at Falcon High School. I am taking these classes because I feel that art is a way to express yourself in different ways other than words and to show your thoughts physically. The art I am interested in are sketches, special affects makeup, realistic looking art, photography, Photoshop, and art that has meaning behind it. The things that motivate me in life are my family, music, and the future. When I create art the things that inspire me are my past experiences, the world around me, and my future.
When I am creating art, the materials I like to use are makeup, pastel, graphite, paint, and paper. When I use these materials, the subject matters I base my art on are usually about nature, my experiences, my feelings, and my interests. The process I use when I create my artwork is drawing out a rough sketch of my ideas, then I ask others I the like the idea and how they think I could improve it, then I create a list in my mind of what materials I would need to create the piece, then finally I start creating. The biggest challenges I face when I create art are messing up and wanting to restart, restarting way too often, and wanting my project to be perfect.
When people look at my artwork, I would want them to feel what I was feeling when I was in the process of making that piece. The goals that I have for myself as I continue to make art are to try and work with my mistakes rather than work against them. I would also like to become better at new techniques that I have learned so far.
