I am African American. My parents know that I'm African American, but aren't sure about anything else. I know we all come from Adam and Eve and had to go through many different generations and cultures. However, as time goes on, we usually have one distinct ethnicity that stands out in us. For me, that is African American.
I made this artwork because I was inspired by a modern photo to add some heritage and meaning to it. In my life this art symbolizes that we all have different ethnicities within us even if we don't know it. It is a very simple art piece it it has a lot of meaning. All of the colors the girl and the word history is made up of symbolizes all of the cultures she's made up of.
I used simulated texture by the way I drew the girls hair.Also in the girls hair I used hatching to create value. I used tetradic and complementary colors because they blend really well together and those were the main pastels I had to work with. Form was used with the variety of colors and the balance is horizontal. It is two dimensional and the white space around the girl and words is negative space. The girl and words are positive space. I didn't use the element of line.
