CONCENTRATION

For my concentration, I am doing music posters advertising a fictional band I created called "The Milestones". My concentration has another side to it, though, as each poster/piece represents a "milestone" in a person's life, and the images on the poster as well as the "supporting bands" also relate to that event. In addition, the dates and locations of these fictional concerts starring The Milestones are the actual locations and approximate dates of where and when I experienced those life-changing events. For example, the location of The Milestones' show in my first piece, "Birth" is the address of the hospital I was born at.

Ghosting project




This is my ghosting piece:


I wrote about some of my first memories of school, and went over certain areas with gesso to make shapes. I went over the shapes using gouache and acrylic paints to add some color.
