Where have you been as an artist? Where are you going?

In this assignment I painted a time line where it shows from how I started to how I want to finish. I started off finger painting and I want to end up painting/drawing very detail/meaningful pieces of art. From painting on a canvas to designing a house. That where I want to see myself in the future.
I remember when I first got interested in the arts. I was little and I always loved to finger paint, it was messy and fun to do. Then as time progress I started to pick up a pencil and draw simple shapes. That why I painted a "finger Painting" piece first. After a while I started to get better and better. That the middle hand where you can see it’s not perfect. There’s still some work that I can do. That how I feel right now, that I need to keep practicing. Then the last hand shows where I see myself in the future. I want to be a very skillful in the arts. I want to paint/draw realistic figure. I want my art to be very detailed and that every single mark has its reasons. That where I want to be as an artist.

Q&A

1. Why bracelet on the last hand?

The yellow bracelet represents where I'm from. The yellow bracelet represents the Dominican republic. I only have it on the last hand because I feel that I still have a lots to learn about me and and the island that i grew up to love. That's why in the future I want to say that I'm a true Dominican who understand the ways of the island and the history of how it became to be.

2. Why paint finger paint W/out finger painting?

I was trying to paint a kids hands not mines because the finger paint represents me as a child not as a teen.

3. Why pencils? Don't you want to be a painter?

I choosed pencils because my goal is to be an architect and yes I want to be a painter. I want to do both.
