MOMA visit in the city

This week I took a trip to the MOMA museum to see Willem de Kooning's exhibit. It was my very first time in the museum and the first thing I sorta observed was the difference between MOMA ps1 in long island city and the MOMA in the city. As I walked to his section of the exhibit, the first thing that popped out at me were the bright colors of some of his work. The color he put together worked so well with each other, something that's difficult for me to do. But I loved the different color schemes he used. My cons about his work are in fact that I don't understand some of his pieces, mostly the story he's portraying in his art. Except of course his still life. 

The double Portrait/Tree of my future.

This week's project is a diptych double portrait. We were assisted to compose two painting of our inner self portrayed one as a hero and the other as a loser (due next week). I was a bit confused on how to start the painting, I didn't have a theme and it was difficult for me to think of one. But after ALOT of re-reading the assignment paper, I came up with a metaphor in my painting. I call it the tree of my future, where I have a apple tree sprouting out of my head with the apples being my future goals. I consider this project my favorite one by far.

The Pointillist way.

This week's assignment I'll say was a bit difficult. Difficult in the sense of being so tedious. I had the choice of either writing about my self portrait or my pointillist painting I created (the difficult one). The self portrait took me 10-15 minutes tops, but the pointillist was the hardest. The steps I took on completing the painting was:
1. I took a picture of my boyfriend's living room. (I did my assignment there)
2. I researched online about everything that had to with that particular style.
3. Drew the living room and got started.  
My problem was painting dot after dot which took FOREVER with my medium paint brush. But after everything was done, I loved the way it came out. My first pointillist which I'm proud of, my next one will be much better though. Enjoy!
