I choose media I knew I was experienced with and when I mixed them together in this peice I think they complemented each other very very well. The media that was in my peice included ink, pastel, and charcoal, all of which I feel safe with (not much color cept in the ink of course). My peice is something that I usually dont do, most of my art is more precise and this is more concept drenched. I used the colors to attract the veiwer with the splatters is interests the person making them want to look closer. Although the colors are attractive I dimmed them down a bit making me, the white source the focal point of the peice. This creates a great emphasive on the actual self-portrait of me, and the tree behind me. The tree is symbolic to nature, and the colors and ink symbolic to urban, and how I'm inbetween them. How I deeply enjoy both and how both ar part of who I am, althoug I lean more towards the nature side.
