Again, I'm not sure where this actual painting has gotten to, which is a problem, but the work is similar to the sketch. I feel as though we are being constricted and tied up by cords and technology, which is an issue.
This is a piece that I think offers a really cool concept, but it is one that I would like to move into a larger scale with. I think a painting larger than only 7" x 8" would give me more room to flex this piece and enhance its meaning. Regardless, it shows a cord separating two people, which I think happens all too often in today's age.
This is another one of the pieces that I did earlier in the year. It shows a backpack, again, as well as a phone charger to illustrate similarly the topic of the last post. I was more stylistic with this piece, which I enjoy.
Where's Your Laptop? is one of the first pieces I did this semester. The title comes after a chant that has been started at Central sporting events to taunt the other schools that haven't given their students each laptops or iPads. This piece aims to show the similar importance at this point of a laptop and a backpack. We use each of them equally at this point in time, but it seems that the laptop is coming to the forefront.
This piece obviously falls under technology as well. It shows how connected we always are to technology, regardless of where we are. I enjoy the pastel work here, and the underlying gesso.
This is another piece that falls under the technology concentration, though it shows no technology. With this piece, I wanted to emphasize the fact that backpacks, books, and papers are almost becoming alien in schools. Instead, we carry computers, tablets, and phones.
