Designers Statement
When some people look at the world, all they see is black and white. When I look at the world, I see the color in that world with my artists’ eyes. In this piece, an artist is looking at the landscape and she holds her hands up to form a picture. By creating a picture with her hands, she captures that moment in time and brings color to life with art. We have the black and white world that resembles a world without art; the hands are of an artist looking at the world as a picture of art. Art brings out the color in the world. Color also resembles life. Life without art would be bland and lacking vitality; therefore life is better with art in it, because it brings out the color of the world.
I wish to enter the graphic design field to broaden my horizons and gain a better artistic experience. I hope to have a job doing what I love, so when awaken each morning my job is something more of an adventure, rather than something to just pay the bills. I love everything about art. The Art Institute can help me improve my artistic abilities, and help me succeed in getting a job that is all about creating memorable works of art for the benefit of the world.
