Artist's Comments

This is the tidbit of teenage angst attempting to make a statement i'm allowing myself this year. It didn't turn out as i expected at all (thought that's not necessarily a bad thing), and I used crappy crayola tempera because I didn't have any acrylic, and i'm not allowed to use oils in the garage where the pilot light is. lol.
But still...it fills another spot in my AP Art portfolio this year. Ugh...2-D blows. I collected these clippings all through the months of January and February.

I came back and edited the composition some, tried to make it work more after some highly helpful critiques from my art teacher and (for the first time! :D) some people here on DA. (hintCrimsonTigresshint) YAY!

This is such a great piece! I love the symbolism involved and the effect you gave it with the head drowning in water superimposed on the newsprint is really breath taking. That is just really great craftsmanship.

The only thing I will say is the composition is a little too boxed. I don't know if that was part of your intention but it just seems very centered and it feels like it might have been placed better on the composition.

All around though, this is better than a lot of work I see at my university. :)
