Week 5 - Series 3


  To continue from the second piece, this peace is the "Beginning of Salvation" of the three. I find that when we are realeased from the situations that binds us, there some key things must change. This is the mans release from the negative emotions and struggles that he once suffered. To become free, the poisoned altered perceptions of the world must change. There must be a new way of thinking, this can only be achieved when the individual chooses to "wake up". The great philosopher Socrates said, "the unexamined life is not worth living," to be free their has to be a realization that these situations have caused your living to be unproductive /faulty. Until we have examined ourselves and allowed ourselves to be free their is no change. Thus, in this change, the man ascends above the corrupted, cracking world of false perception and anguish. Allowing himself to let go because the only way that world survives is that he stay their in bondage and sustain it through pain.  The medium that was used for this piece was prisma color pencils, black micron pens, and pencil.

Week 4 - Series 2


 

  This piece is part two in the series. The name that I came up with for this one is "Saving Grace from the Troubles of  the World". I call it this because once people have gone through a number of tramatic events (one after another) they begin to, in a since, become submissive to these life struggles. The submission is shown in the bowing position the man is currently in. In this submission, people begin to form their own since of reality, viewing the world through the perspective of their pain. They shape their own world through the ill perspectives of the events that have transpired. The "Saving Grace" would be the angel coming to take away the spears that afflict him. This series for me is personal because I find my own "Saving Grace" through Christ. This "Saving Grace" can also be found in family, friends, or strangers that help to pull us out of the depressive/secluded world that is built from the victims own construction. The medium that was used for this piece was prisma color pencils, black micron pens, and pencil.

Week 3 - Series 1



  This piece was inspired by the "Plundering of Creativity" Adobe Illustartor drawing that was done at my previous college. The concept of this drawing is when difficult situations in life happen to where they seem like they are inescapeable. Just when you try to escape one situation another atacks you. This is shown by the chain that is being held around his neck from one of the reapers. As the man tries to get away he is attacked by more of them representing the extreme circumstances of life that seem to combine to become a conglomerate of stressful opposition. The medium that was used for this piece was prisma color pencils, black micron pens, and pencil.
