IB Art Hors d'Oeuvres

My name is Chelsea Marqueda. I am a sophomore in IB Art. Art has always been my obsession. Only recently have I discovered what type of style I really like. Tim Burton is my hero. I really loved how he worked with ink and watercolor to create his characters in his movies. Gris Grimly is another artist I discovered. I am really fond of both of their artwork. I like the Pop surrealism and expressionist kind of feel, which both work quite nicely in. This is one of my first art pieces where I have used these styles painting. I adore IB Art because it allows you to discover what qualities make you unique, you have to embrace yourself to really create a working piece. This was my second studio of the year - expect the runny splatters to be reoccurring. I have trouble with technical, precise types of drawing. Over time skill can be learned; realistic things can be found any day. I really love using the paint to create a new kind of life. I like odd surreal situations that make you feel slightly uncomfortable. These type paintings require a little more thought and imagination.
