COSTUME PARTY - Art Culture
INTRODUCTION
In this project the main idea was to make a representation of the work of some famous artist of the early 20th century on a piece of clothing, being able to choose any type of material or accessory that will help to stage the artist's work.
MATERIALS:
- T-shirt
- Textile Color Ink
- Oval Palettes
- Brushes
- Graphite Pencils
CREATIVE PROCESS:
To carry out this project I decided to choose an artist of French origin, named Albert Gleizes (1881 - 1953), and among many of his works I chose a call "Guitar Composition" dated 1921 (oil on canvas).
WORKFLOW:
I proceeded to take pencil 6B to draw the reference lines in and thus have an exact parameter where I had to paint, with this I made sure that the drawing was the closest thing to the original piece of the artist.
Then I decided to start painting with the color black, the central base of the drawing, for which I use a medium brush, I started painting from the edges and gradually filling in the space, after finishing this section wait a few minutes until it dries the painting.
Then I proceeded to paint the other sections of the drawing with blue, white and green. Taking care at all times not to touch with the brush the other sections that were already painted.
Finally I painted the last sections of the drawing that were missing, for which I decided to take the color phosphorescent orange and dark green. For the latter of the painting, I decided to apply a second layer of color in some sections of the drawing and delineate other parts, in order to give this work a much more professional polish finish.
CONCLUSION:
This project was quite challenging, since I had never worked before on any textile garment or with this type of special paints, however, always having the premise of being clean and careful with the brushes, as I painted I became more confident with my skills and abilities.
Certainly the hours dedicated to this project allowed me to learn various painting techniques; I feel that my painting skills and abilities have increased thanks to this project, and I feel happy with the final product since the choice of colors and shapes of the drawing closely resemble the original work of the artist; Albert Gleizes will be happy to see that his work was shown in a classroom with the best quality.
