Mini Concentration Project


The central idea of my concentration will be that for one to really take advantage of their life then they must go outside and explore nature, which exists everywhere. For this idea, I will draw with pencil many different viewpoints of a park to show that jus walking outside isn’t enjoying nature; one has to investigate it to really learn from it. With pencil, I will create very realistic drawings of grass, leaves, trees, a playground, and the sky. All of these pieces will focus on portraying nature in a positive and interesting manner. To contrast this idea I might want to dedicate to portraying the idea that to stay indoors is boring and isn’t living life. To do this I might draw a dark room or house that is old and is beaten up. This way one who see’s my concentration will understand that to be outside is to live an interesting life. For my artwork, I am choosing pencil because I believe that I can really show the texture and realness of an object with pencil. When I looked online, I found the works of an artist named David Adams. In his work, he focused on drawing from up close especially on insects or bugs that are resting on a piece of grass or leaf. I like hit work because it really shows the shadow and texture of the leaves and also the insects. In my concentration I would like to accomplish the same thing except of course the inclusion of life. I would also like the audience to understand that I am not trying to make them think that staying inside is bad and outside is good, but I am trying to get them to realize that one can learn more when they are around nature.
