When I first did the
six sketches for my project, I planned to sketch something that related to my
culture in Vietnam, so I could link those sketches to show who I am. After I
drew the sketches, everything turned black, I looked and nothing, nothing could
explain who I am in those culture sketches. I was panic because I hadn't had
any ideas to draw. Then, I learned the Revelation and I saw the word
"water." Everything changed and I started to draw unconsciously. God
helped me, I am blessed. I did this artwork to express what I am thinking of
this world right now and to show who I am. We, the human, are the water and we
are trapped in this world. We are covered by the mountains, on top of us in the
sun and below us is hell. We can't do anything to escape this cruel world
except believing in God. I am a believer, I believe in God.
In this artwork, I
used invented texture on the mountains, the symbols on the mountains just came
out and I didn't even know what it meant. Tint is my value; I added a lot of
white after I colored the sea with blue. Square tetrad theme is my color
palette because I chose yellow, blue and pink. My artwork also contains
three elements which are form, shape and line. The water is rhythm in harmony
which is form, the mountains are two dimensional and measure for line, the measure
appears at the bottom on the left mountain.
