\"narrative-artwork\"My artwork is focused on the desk of Quentin Jacobsen, the teenage boy from the novel Paper Towns<\/em> by John Green. On his desk, there are photographs of his night out with Margo Spiegelman. It displays their time at Walmart when Margo uses an air horn without purchasing it. Also, another photo shows the time when Quentin climbs through the window of Chuck Parson\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s window to remove his eyebrows in his sleep to get back at Chuck for bullying him.
\nI created my artwork by sketching out the objects on Quentin\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s desk (his camera, pencil holder, etc.) and measuring out two even rectangles. Once the rectangles were done, I transformed them into photographs of Quentin\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s night with Margo. Once the sketching process was done, I darkened the lines and colored in each necessary area.
\nWhen creating my artwork, I kept in mind the details of Paper Towns<\/em>‘\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0characters and scenes. I tried to display the emotions of their night in the photos: a night filled with carefree fun and risking it all just for some serotonin. When coloring my artwork, I kept in mind the sadness and boring feeling Quentin had after that night. So, I tried to color in the photos to show all the fun they had, and kept the desk pretty blank and bare-boned to show the boringness he feels in his normal everyday life.
\nMy goals for this artwork were to express the emotions felt in this piece. My goals as an artist focus on making sure that anyone who looks at my art feels what the artwork is expressing in terms of emotions. I feel like I met this goal with my art because I tried my best to encapture what Quentin was feeling through the coloring of my piece.
\nThe final draft I made was what I imagined it to be. It might be even better than what I imagined because I didn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t expect the lines to stay that precise throughout the darkening and coloring process. With this artwork, I learned that color is really really important in any artwork. I never thought that what you color carries much meaning, but with this project, I actually learned that each object you color could give a whole different meaning to the art piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
