Artist Statement: |
My collage is all about speaking up. Most of the photos are of lips, which I thought literally connects to speaking. Speaking up and having your own voice is important because it will allow you to be unique. Also, speaking with kind words to others will help you be a better collaborater and get your ideas across clear. It is vital to be confident and speak your mind, and share your ideas with others. Doing so will help you in life with communication, confidence, and overall being yourself. The creative piece represents all of this, mainly uniqueness and individuality. The lips represent talking and saying what you want to say.
Mi collage tiene que ver con hablar. La mayoría de las fotos son de labios, lo cual, literalmente, me conecta para hablar. Hablar y tener tu propia voz es importante porque te permitirá ser único. Además, hablar con palabras amables a los demás te ayudará a ser un mejor colaborador y transmitir tus ideas en forma clara. Es vital tener confianza y decir lo que piensas, y compartir tus ideas con los demás. Hacerlo te ayudará en la vida con la comunicación, la confianza y en general, ser tú mismo. La pieza creativa representa todo esto, principalmente singularidad y individualidad. Los labios representan hablar y decir lo que quieres decir. |
Reflexión: |
What went well for me during this project was my final product. I was very proud of the result that came out of the hard work I put into it. I really like the collage I made, specifically because of its uniqueness, aesthetic appearance, color scheme, and overall theme. I think I made a beautiful piece, and it is nice to have a product that I am truly proud of. What didn’t go as well was pronouncing my artist statement in Spanish. I still struggle with pronunciation, but I know that I am improving. I did practice saying my artist statement aloud, but when it came time to present I forgot the majority of the words. Maybe if I practiced more than it would have stuck better in my mind. The most significant part is how I made the connection of lips to the value I chose: speaking up. I think it is really cool how I made this literal connection, as it’s unique and others might not have thought of it the way I did. A part I would do differently is partially what I mentioned earlier, with presenting the artist statement aloud in Spanish. I would have practiced more to make a stronger presentation. Some of my pronunciation was off, and I would have liked it to be better. I have grown throughout this project with understanding Spanish in general. Before, I could barely identify words when others spoke them. Now I can definitely understand sentences better and quicker. La parte mas significante como puede asir una conection con labios con el valore que escoje de alsar la voce. |
