Three good prints

Here are my prints, it took me a while to do because I kept smudging them. I like mixing the colors.

Word Sketch #2- Fire sketch inspired by Artist

For my sketch I chose The Hiroshima Panels are on big traditional style folding screens. They are by Iri and Toshi Maruki, a couple who were inspired by the Hiroshima nuclear bombing from the US and took 30 years to complete this mural.
I was inspired by this work because not only is the back story touching but the work is like you can't take your eyes off it. Her mesmerizing stare just makes you sympathize with her and the young baby she's holding. The fire came into play with her hair which I liked because it is kind of saying it has put a permanent affect on her and her family. It says a lot all in one painting.
I think I really butchered it with the colors but if I were painting I would get a good mix of the brown and orange. I just thought it would not be understandable If I did it without color.

Diebenkorn Work and Thoughts

I really liked this photo because of it's sue of warm versus cool colors from top to bottom and then that patch of light at the top really draws the attention. Also I like that the viewer of this work would be wondering what is this person looking at? It brings the eye to the middle where she is looking instead of off the page.

Word Post #1- Lighter

This was inspired by my word fire. I just used a random lighter and made my brother photograph. Catching the light on the hand and the flame were the two hardest things. After much erased here is my work.
