Description
AP Art project for this week. I had an extension for Thursday, but I got a little ambitious OTL..If you know Mollie my OC then you know of her story a bit I bet. So what this piece is about is feeling disconnected from the society/mass/whole. The head and the body being two parts shows that, but also the crumbling buildings. As they get further away from the body they start fall apart and look not so nice.
At the same time though, I think taking yourself away from the society frees yourself a little and gives you some free thinking. Hence why I added the graffiti (which I fail at OTL).
So uh yeah I guess thatβs it. Iβm open to your criticism, so let me know what you think or if you have a question. C:
Mollie and artwork belongs to me

You know that I loved the sketch of this and the final thing is no let down! I really love your concepts and the way you pull them off is always a pleasure to see.
As I've already said, I love the idea of this and I feel like it's something that many of us will be able to relate to. I see that someone else has interpreted it in a completely different way- which is good to see how different pieces of art make us think. Also with what they have said about the separation of the head and body being more of a personal matter than a matter of society is a valid point, but can also tie into what your original idea was- after all, isn't it society that shapes us as people?
I also like the fairly drab looking colour scheme as I feel it ties in with the overall idea. Personally, I think that the grafitti would look better if it stood out more- bright colours (individuality and freedom) standing out against the humdrum dullness of society.
I can really see your shading improving and I especially get the sense of the shape of the arms- however, I can't quite put my foot on it, but I think that maybe the arm holding the head is a bit too long in comparison to the other arm. I would also personally prefer to have seen more of a gradual move into wrecked buildings rather than the sudden change from a fairly alright buildings to completely wrecked ones.
Bear in mind this is all just my opinion, so you can ignore as much or as little as you like. CX
Great work and I can't wait to see more from you.

I think it's just me, but separating head from body seems to suggest separation of self more than society. The further away from the body, the more things tend to look like what's on the left. Perhaps it's not so much a view of society, but rather an image revealing the common struggle to understand ourselves. And so the closer the head gets to the body, the more we understand and the closer we are to becoming whole. That's just the way I see it though.

Yeah but that's kinda what I was going for too. Maybe that idea is better, which is fine and I'm glad you said that. Thank you! C:
