My sis did that *beams with pride* she's 15. She used color pencils. Well you can argue that the art above is kinda lame for a 15 year old. But art is probably one of the most subjective things on earth. What makes art special however is how it makes you feel. It’s a connection and emotion you feel toward that particular piece. Is this piece any different from Da Vinci's Mona Lisa? What makes that art better or different from any other piece of art?
This piece inspired me, and had me deep in thought for a while. What was it? Why were the colors chosen? Did she intentionally give it that unfinished look?
Well even more impressive to me was the well thought out explanation about the piece which she wrote at the back. It went…
The mother is explaining to her fetus the ways of growing up. The piece starts out with you see two hands cradling a belly. The blue represents the closeness and no matter how far apart they are they’ll always be together. The orange around the blue is the bind between mother and daughter. The light green, brown and green represent her early childhood years and the peach next to it represents innocence. The child has a playful innocence. But as she gets older which is the purple she starts to love and the red represents her falling in love and becoming passionate. The black represents heartbreak where she may have dark times and the violet represents the hardness she has created from getting hurt. The purple represents forgiveness and maturity and letting go of the bad and embracing the good. Now at the end of the mother’s story she smiles and says the gray, “On my face represents the bad, the good, yellow and the conflicts that will happen between us, the brown. But no matter how bad things get, just remember I’ll always love you and you will always be my baby girl.”
Still think it’s childish?
