Marino - Final Project

 

The Schools of Joe Marino (Title)

Past/Present

The topic I picked was past/present. Since it is my last week of school I wanted to pay homage to myself and where I will go or where I have gone. My intention was to create a piece of work that looked like a piece inside of another piece. My idea was to create a museum style piece where it looked like a painting hanging on the wall. I decided to create 3 mini rectangles on my 24x30 work. At first I was just going to draw the Archmere logo to show an end of a period piece however I wanted to further my art work, make it different. I chose to just work with Acrylics because I like the glossy texture they give of when looking at it and on camera. It makes it look like it has glass over the piece. I made all these choices like in the moment, I was just think at the time what could I do to make it look cooler. I didn't really have a plan I just started to paint and see where it took me. I didn't have to do much research because I already knew what my schools logos looked like. For experimentation it was just how should I approach the idea of looking like a museum wall, so I chose white. Overall I think this piece is a success because it gives off the idea of past/present and I like how it came out.
